Andras Nemeth was again named as a substitute in Hamburg's recent 1-0 away loss to league leaders Kiel. Due to Robert Glatzel's minor injury, coach Steven Baumgart named the 21-year-old striker into the starting line-up for the three matches before Saturday night, but he failed to score in his 213 minutes on the pitch. As he recovered after the match, the professional staff put him on the bench, so there was less chance of finishing the tournament with a goal – he had 19 shots in 26 matches and 523 minutes played.
The four-time Hungarian footballer is considered one of the greatest talents in the attacking position, and it was no coincidence that Hamburg paid around one million euros to sign him in January 2023. This is also why it is unfortunate that he has not yet found his reckoning in fourth place in the second Bundesliga. We found it Henrik JacobsSports journalist for the Hamburg newspaper Abendblatt to assess the situation in Hungarian football.
“Andras has great potential, and he also likes Steven Baumgart, and he has received a lot of playing minutes and confidence from him, but since his injury in the summer he has not lived up to expectations, because Hamburg, which cherishes dreams of promotion, is subject to very difficult circumstances.” Huge pressure from the media and fans Our German colleague told our paper. – Previously, he was considered a substitute player, and when he signed for this season, he scored a goal as a substitute in his first two league matches, and was considered the great hope for the future. However, since then, he had not run a home run, and when he was considered a starter, he did not look calm, the burden on his shoulders making him cramp. He missed two big chances against Greuther Fürth, and the media got involved. There was a newspaper that reported that Hamburg's promotion failed due to missed opportunities – which is of course untrue and unfair. “He continued playing after that, but as a striker he will especially need confidence.”
Robert Glatzel's place, who is recovering from injury, looks certain in the starting line-up for HSV, who are set to play a game with one striker – the 30-year-old has scored sixteen goals and provided six assists in 28 appearances. League matches.
“There are four rounds left in the league, and if he is healthy, he will definitely start in the peg position. He is an older and more experienced striker, but when he was Andras Nemeth's age, he was still playing football in the fourth division. He usually solves playing situations Inside the box well, he has an excellent vertical game, he is very calm, and he has the physical qualities to occupy the nine position, but in addition to his goals in the box, he missed many chances Andras Nemeth also has the physical qualities, and I would say he is relatively fast, But he still needs time to adapt to this level and expectations, and could be used as a substitute in the Championship campaign. He is still a young and talented footballer, but I feel that Hamburg is not the best place for him to reach his full potential – I can imagine him in a team where he is not in the circle. Light, and there are no articles about him again in the newspapers if he misses one goal. If I were his agent, I would look at the possibility of playing on loan, just because there will probably be changes expected at the club in the summer, and certainly the player. He will also move into the striker position.
