The score of 3-0 is striking, but the expression of Hamburg players' heads down is also obvious. Their last opponent, Duisburg, has been relegated to the third class. Before winning this game, Hamburg experienced eight defeats in the Bundesliga, which is an important reason why they fell behind in the sprint stage. In the last nine rounds of the league, except for the meaningless 3-0 victory last night, they experienced 3 draws and 5 losses as bad as relegation teams. In particular, the relegation team Ingolstadt's last home defeat of 0-3 was a microcosm of their sluggishness in the sprint stage.
In the first 25 rounds, Hamburg 15 wins, 5 draws, 5 losses and 50 points were excellent, and once ranked first in the Bundesliga. At that time, few people doubted that they would resolutely return to the Bundesliga. At that time, paderborn's record was only 10 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, 2 points behind Hamburg/kloc-0! But at the end of the season, paderborn overtook Hamburg with a score of 1 and went straight to the Bundesliga as the second in the Bundesliga! Records of the last 9 rounds:
In the 26th-34th round, Hamburg 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, with 6 points.
In the 26th-34th round, paderborn scored 6 wins 1 draw and 2 losses, with a total score of 19.
Even Berlin United, with a mediocre record, scored 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 9 games, and a * * * scored 10.
If you want to know why Hamburg can't be upgraded, just look at the record of Duisburg, the penultimate team. The last nine rounds 1 wins, 4 draws and 5 walks, still higher than Hamburg 1 minute! The brutal competition between Germany and B once made League champion Cologne change coaches after a series of defeats at the end of the season. And Hamburg's record of ranking first in the Bundesliga in the sprint stage is naturally the biggest reason why they can't upgrade their team. Except for the meaningless victory in the last round of these nine games, Hamburg will go directly to the Bundesliga as long as one of them can be played well. However, at the moment when it was necessary to step on the gas pedal, Hamburg chose to brake and finally fell to the last mile of the Bundesliga.
Next season, Hamburg will face the challenge and competition with the regular customers in the promotion of German B, such as Nuremberg, Hanover 96 and Stuttgart, which may even be relegated to German B. In addition, there are old German B teams such as Bochum and bielefeld, and the Hamburg team will face greater competitive pressure in preparing for German B next season. Now they can only envy paderborn and Berlin United.
