Hamburg (dpa) - Promotion candidate Hamburger SV does not want to deal with possible postponements in the crucial phase of the 2nd Bundesliga.
"It doesn't matter to us at first," said coach Daniel Thioune on Wednesday.
"I'm pushing that very far away from me for now."
The league rivals Karlsruher SC and SV Sandhausen just had to go into 14-day quarantine.
On April 16 (in Sandhausen) and on April 20 (in the Volksparkstadion) the people of Hamburg were supposed to compete against the clubs.
The games have not yet been canceled, but Thioune is also expecting it.
Before that, HSV must compete on Friday evening (6.30 p.m. / Sky).
“In a little over 48 hours we will have the Darmstadt residents as our guests.
This is our daily bread.
We have to make sure that we only focus on that, ”said Thioune.
He wants to avoid that his team can be distracted in preparation for the game against Hessen.
«We take everything as it comes.
We also have a certain amount of serenity. "
The Hamburg coach assesses the situation under pandemic conditions as "incredibly dynamic".
"We have to be very sensitive to it," said Thioune, emphasizing that it was a privilege to be able to play football at the moment.
"We see that we always have to drive on sight," said the coach.
“It's important to end this season smartly.
We already have a game plan that is not reliable. "

The 46-year-old football coach does not believe that quarantine breaks will affect the outcome of the season.
Nevertheless, he sees the challenge of not having stood on the pitch for 14 days with the teams concerned.
"I hope we don't have to go into quarantine," he said.
"I hope that everything will be decided in terms of sport."
