Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Coach Timo Schultz from FC St. Pauli sees the pressure in the Hamburg city derby of the 2nd Bundesliga on the part of HSV.
“We're in a good mood and we're going into the derby with big chests.
HSV also knows that we are in a good mood.
HSV is more in the situation of absolutely having to win the derby in order to be promoted, ”said the 43-year-old before the HSV guest appearance on Monday (8.30 p.m. / Sky).
While St. Pauli won its most recent four games, HSV was only able to win one of the last five games and was last defeated by Würzburger Kickers 2: 3.
Schultz expects a very motivated opponent: "HSV will want to make the game forget."
The coach has a very strong assessment of the HSV squad and especially its striker Simon Terodde: “You have the best offensive, the most goals, the best goalscorer and the most chances.
They are an absolute top team. "
In terms of personnel, the Kiezclub can draw on almost unlimited resources.
Only the long-term injuries Christopher Buchtmann, Christopher Avevor and Ryo Miyaichi are still not available.
Schultz regrets having to experience the match without a spectator.
«I notice the derby fever in me and the boys.
But it's a little less around that.
If there are no spectators, there is a lack of emotionality.
The spectators and everything around make a derby so special.
That is no longer necessary, ”said the trainer.
And emphasized: "Without fans, football is not really fun."
