Glatzel about competition: HSV on Bundesliga course with Poulsen?

Braunschweig, Deutschland - Robert Glatzel from Hamburger SV looks into the future with confidence. The 31-year-old, who has been playing for HSV since 2021, has spoken positively about his role in the coming season. "I am looking forward to my first year in the Bundesliga," emphasized Glatzel and sees the impending competition in the attack as a burden, but as an exciting challenge. Rayan Philippe (24), who was freshly committed by Eintracht Braunschweig, will soon join his teammates. This obligation shows the club's endeavor to further strengthen and put together a powerful group in order to gain a foothold in the highest German league. The question remains how the newcomers deal with the established players, explosive.

But the rumors about another possible new addition keep the previous anticipation for the new season in suspense. The HSV is in negotiations with RB Leipzig about a transfer from Yussuf Poulsen (31). However, this discussion is not without controversy. In this way, the discussion is discussed as part of a possible exchange between Poulsen and another player, Davie Selke. Selke, who scored an impressive 22 goals last season, could have to leave the club due to his age and salary expectations. According to transfermarkt.de the HSV could use this opportunity to set up his team and save salaries at the same time.

critical voices to poulsen

While the transfer activities of the HSV usually promise clear sporting and economic advantages, the obligation of Poulsen is controversial according to the previous assessments. His injury history and the fact that he only scored 9 goals in the past three years raise questions. There are also concerns whether it should be planned as a top performer, especially if you take into account the transfer fee and the high salary that would go hand in hand with a change. For comparison: Both Selke and Poulsen have almost identical Bundesliga experiences with 238 and 233 games. However, the question arises whether Poulsen is actually the better choice compared to Bobby Glatzel, which has increasingly established itself as a valuable part of the HSV.

The discussion about possible obligations will certainly continue to move the HSV fans' minds. Anyone who will end up in the attack of Hamburger SV remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: Glatzel is ready for the competition and wants to give everything to play a strong season in the Bundesliga with his team. The hopes not only rest on the new obligations, but also on the established players who have to do their best to meet the expectations of the fans.
