The Hamburg shot stopper has called for patience after the opening day defeat at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FC-Nuremberg-c38162.
Rothosen suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nuremberg on Saturday, August 25, at the Imtech Arena. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hanno-Balitsch-c15719 scored the only goal of the game in the second-half of the match as the home side failed to claim a single point
in their first league game of the new campaign.
Adler has called for patience after criticism in the last few days regarding the team’s performance. The former Bayer Leverkusen man stated that it was only the first game of the season and Hamburg’s campaign cannot be judged on
one result.
The shot stopper insisted that the media has been bragging about the issue and has urged the fans to remain composed to support the team throughout the season.
“It is only the first game of the league season and it is too soon to start talking about a relegation battle already. There is only one thing to do and that is to stop watching television and reading the newspapers,” he was quoted
as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, manager Thorsten Fink expressed his disappointment on the defeat and urged his side to make a strong comeback in the next game. The tactician stressed that there are some mistakes that the team has to look into
and is confident that the players will return with a positive frame of mind next week.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 boss added that the team played well in the first period, but the performance was below par after the interval. He is confident that things will be different next week when the team travels to Bremen.
“We have got to be able to deal with the pressure. Our commitment to the game was fine, but more has got to come technically. My team became insecure the longer the game went on,” the manager concluded.
Hamburg SV will next take on Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion next weekend. Both sides will be looking to secure their first wins of the league seasons after suffering losses in their respective opening games.
