Enrichment Data:
Merlin Polzin, HSV's head coach, opted to rest his players during the international break to avoid burnout and injuries. This strategy was highlighted in a match report, where Polzin mentioned that players like Filip Stevanović, Jonas Hofmann, and Marcel Wenig would receive additional game time, something they couldn't secure under Fischer. The strategy also aimed to maintain HSV's depth and the quality of its rotational options[3]. Additionally, the team concentrated on ensuring their performance in the 2. Bundesliga, as they aimed to stay competitive and secure promotion[3].
