Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Coach Timo Schultz from FC St. Pauli is hoping for quick support from the winter access in the relegation battle of the 2nd Bundesliga.

«We are of the opinion that the guys will help us immediately.

We have to integrate the players quickly.

And the best integration goes through the games, ”he said on Friday before the game on Saturday (13.00 / Sky) against Holstein Kiel.

Hamburg have signed goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic, defender Adam Dzwigala, midfielder Eric Smith and striker Omar Marmoush in the current winter transfer window.

Dzwigala and Marmoush have already made their debut for FC St. Pauli.

"Omar is also an alternative to play from the start," said Schultz about the loaner from VfL Wolfsburg.

Schultz has not yet revealed whether Stojanovic will be the new number 1 in goal.

However, the coach said with regard to the goalkeeping situation: "If we sign players during the winter break, it is clear that they should make us better."

In the past four games, Svend Brodersen stood between the posts, who had ousted long-time St. Pauli goalkeeper Robin Himmelmann.

FC St. Pauli has been without a win for twelve games and is in 17th place in the table with nine points.

Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, already has 28 points and is second in the table for promotion.

"Holstein Kiel is a very stable team that is right up there," says Schultz, who has to do without the suspended defenders Sebastian Ohlsson and Marvin Knoll in the north duel.
