The Hamburg SV manager insisted that his side deserved the 1-0 win against Greuther Furth this past weekend and is delighted with the team’s return to form
Rothosen continued their sensational return to form as they secured their third win of the league campaign against Greuther Furth this weekend. The Red Shorts have seen an amazing turn of fortunes in the last few weeks after a
dreadful start to the season.
Thorsten Fink’s side have won three of their last two fixtures which includes a win over defending champions, Borussia Dortmund. They have accumulated 10 points out of a possible 12 in their last four games to climb to the eighth
spot on the Bundesliga standings table.
The manager admitted that it was never going to be an easy fixture as Greuther Furth are very strong when playing at home. He hailed Son Heung-Min, who scored the only goal of the game against Furth, and stated that the player
has a bright future ahead of him.
However, the tactician was not impressed with the team’s second-half performance. He admitted that there were many opportunities created in the second-half, but the team failed to take their chances.
“I had warned my team in advance that it would not be an easy game. Son was fantastic. In the second half, we failed to add the second goal. After we took the lead, we did too little. In the end, we were deserved winners. I can
only congratulate my team on the way they fought, but we can still improve technically,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Greuther Furth manager Mike Buskens claimed that his side was unlucky to be on the losing side as they played very well throughout the course of 90 minutes. He is hopeful that the results start to come for the
team before it’s too late.
“The team was incredibly committed and courageous, but the trouble is, in the Bundesliga, it comes down to minor details. We'll carry on fighting and we've taken a step forwards,” he concluded.
Hamburg’s next task will be against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 at the Imtech Arena on October 21.
