Toppi wants 6 wins in 6!
Unbeaten in 6 matches
That is something that Toppi won't be able to do very often in the near future. Tomorrow sees HSV begin its preparation for the second half of the season, with the first training session since the winter break: "We are unbeaten in 6 matches, but before the players went on their break, I told them what I expect of them when the season re-starts, six wins in a row."
A record to be proud of
Toppmöller has taken HSV from the lower regions of the Bundesliga table up to ninth, in the space of just 8 matches. Four wins, 3 draws and only one defeat is Toppmöller's record of which he is understandably proud: "A super record. We have put ourselves in the position from where we can go for glory when the season re-starts. We want to reach the UEFA Cup places and I plan to form the basis for that," said the coach.
Six to return from injury
The HSV squad has remained almost unchanged, with only the Leverkusen keeper Tom Starke joining HSV on loan: "We will have the likes of Schlicke, Romeo, Hollerbach, Meier, Fukal and Ujfalusi back in action within the next few weeks, so the substance of the side will be improved," concluded Toppmöller.
