The German outfit’s team trainer wants his side to compete in Europe following last weekend’s victory over Hoffenheim moved them up to the top half of the table.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamburger-SV-c39485 head coach once again wants to revive the hope of European football after the Bundesliga side beat Hoffenheim 2-0 last Friday. The club is within the reach of top-six places with one league match left in the
current year before the winter break starts.
The tactician took charge of the club more than a year ago when they were lying at the foot of table. He revived them within a short period and by Christmas they were out of the danger zone. However, he was expecting to get
a taste of Europe due to their form back then.
To everyone’s surprise, Hamburg played their worst football on record and finished in a very low position by the end of the season. Nevertheless, Fink is testing the fates again by wishing to fare in the UEFA Europa League
next term. He claimed that his team can qualify for the competition next year.
The former Bayern Munich star stated that if other clubs do not do well, then they can certainly safeguard their position in the top six. They are only a point behind fifth-place http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Schalke-04-c39204, but the league table is very
close as 12th placed Werder Bremen trail Hamburg by just three points.
"We have a shot at Europe. If other teams slip, then we have a chance," the former Karlsruher SC and Bayern Munich midfielder was quoted as saying in an interview.
"We are not making Europe out to be our goal," the former Red Bull Salzburg and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 manager added.
"Why should we? Our aim was a comfortable mid-table position and we should stick to that," the 2001 UEFA Champions League winner finally concluded.
As a result, Fink is not delusional about their European chances and knows that other teams can also supersede them. He has learnt a lesson from their performances of last campaign. He suggested that their priority was to
finish the season in the top half of the table.
