Hamburg reacts

Hamburg has not yet abdicated. Pledged to burnout after three matches without victory, Rafael van der Vaart and his crew took advantage of the coming Frankfurt (4-1) to put the record. This success, coupled with the defeat at the same time to Leverkusen in Bochum (0-2), allows them to settle down again on the third step of the podium, with three units ahead of Bayer. Freshly eliminated from the League Cup by Wolfsburg (1-2, ap) Wednesday, the formation of Huub Stevens has clearly learned the lessons of this failure. Dominateurs, but not enough realistic face of the band to Grafite, it has taken this time only five minutes to consolidate its hold by Guerrero (5th), then taking shelter by De Jong at the start of the second period (57e). Despite some flottements in defense, which took advantage Kyrgiakos to reduce the score (70th), Hamburg has largely mastered it, even adding two new goals in his bag at the end of the meeting (79e, 83e). At a time when Schalke 04 (6e) and Stuttgart (9th) disappoint, the former club of Daniel van Buyten is keen to play a trouble-maker. The Werder and Bayern, located respectively two and six lengths in front, are defendants.
