Hamburg senior management: I can t simply stick to the ball control style in the Bundesliga, and relegation is the primary issue now

Hamburg Sports Director Stefan Kunz recently interviewed "Kickers", and he emphasized the importance of successful relegation.

Kunz said: "In the Bundesliga, we can no longer simply stick to the ball-handling style, we must work hard for relegation. But at the same time, we also have ambitions."

"We must find Hamburg's unique relegation path to narrow the gap with Mainz and other teams. The gap caused by years of absence from the top league is objective, and we need to play more pragmatic football."

He is still confident in the relatively inexperienced coach Melvin Porzin: "We know that the Bundesliga will face difficult times, but looking back at the small trough at the end of last season, we have overcome difficulties together, which provides important experience."

"As a new team, it is too early to talk about mid-term planning, and survival is the primary issue."
