A v. C. What happens when youre on your last breath can everything still be saved and if not. Do you go out with pride or burn it all to the ground. Hamburg against god. And the wharves get up in time against cologne. The relegation battle is in their hands and i know exactly what needs to be done. Ninety minutes left in the fight for the Champions League the last chance on the last match day hoffenheim in a direct duel with dortmund. Its an exciting match up. Labor crews in can also make a last minute top four finish but theyll need plenty of goals against had over to do it otherwise their time will run out to. Time for a kickoff on match day thirty four. Fifths lace leverkusen needed three points and even more goals in their last gasp attempt to clinch a Champions League spot they met three points behind dortmund and equal on points but three goals behind hoffenheim and they came out with guns blazing chiles even fancied his chances from the half line. Could they score for. Three minutes in an hour long ball from our inquiries this time the pass found lukas celeriac. And the argentinean finished seem perfectly putting a stamp on his dead view season in the bundesliga allow rio went wild the crowd went wild everybody went wild. The mood. That was the stadium announcer from his old club along the santa fe. L. R. Is soon had cause to go crazy again soon now with just eighteen minutes go laverick using needed goals below and were getting them and this form couldnt ario be argentina as well top secret weapon. Oh yes precisely and even though bendel wasted a penalty labor couzin carried on scoring. Even bratz made its way in the fifty fifth minute with the miracle on celeb with whos in. Cheika hellish still had an ace up his sleeve stefan key swing the club leader in appearances will be retiring in the summer after twelve years at the club. Show he got the flowers but would he have to. Chance to make his mark in his final appearance. With five minutes to go the ref called a penalty for a foul on car in better rugby. And coach heiko hellish decided this was the moment to bring key swing off the bench. You have to have justifiably guts and i said sure and he said suddenly straight on the other guys that the execs. Alone rio kindly handed the bowl to the striker legend but tragically the video assist with yet again caused controversy on the final day of the season. In this case the cole was right that the penalty. Play because in still needed to school but after all that exertion with now that one batteries. And how theyve been used that opportunity is nicholas proof who won back in the ninety first minutes heartbreak when theyve accused and the of the i seem to get ok for more we never stop trying to score as many goals as possible but we eventually ran out of steam and we felt it. In the fullest minutes of stoppage time lynton my now burned into the buy a box to set up Martin Harnick that was seconds the fed may have accused and the jury was over in the. We wasted too many chances in other matches like at home to stuttgart and thats what cost us some hand on the table never lies like winning the league or being relegated its not a question of luck like patience. That presumably also applies to now really missing out on the Champions League but nonetheless a nice send off the casing and leverkusen still qualify for the right to lead a massive improvement over last season when they finished away down. In twelve. Post match pandemonium hoffenheim went one better than later cruise and theyve qualified for the Champions League for the First Time Ever and will be welcoming the likes of rail madrid barcelona and man city next season. Despite an inconsistent campaign oftentimes have repeatedly shown their mettle by bouncing back after setbacks. Confetti for the conquerors and quite the Season Finale for coach you will they are not going. Up against dortmund and with labor coups and breathing down their necks often i needed a win to secure a top four finish. And die as i dont know what it was like a motivation i would have to have a screw loose i cant really imagine anyone not being motivated for. Motivated they were endeavoring to remove any obstacles in their way footballing or otherwise. It was a completely different story with the visitors instead of inspired dortmund have often looked unfocused this season. With twenty six minutes played home and both he gifted the great photos to leave after missed controlling a back. It wasnt the keepers first howler this season and who scored on drake from our it this thirteenth of the season and further boosting his chances of making croatia starting line up at the world cup. Soft goals of the back and forth finishing up front on flesh on the firing wind here. The final match pretty much summed up dortmunds entire season. But the visitors did manage to equalise to marco voice ten minutes after the restart i the team still looked at. I think that solid despite their Champions League sports being at stake i thought mention it a reboot i coach pay to struggle said this was his last game but changes are also needed within the team. Itself to take is the word now and we have to analyze a. Comeback much more stronger next year. Noise shocking venting his frustration at his teams season. On saturdays hoffenheim but more convincing as a game that i thought i dont have a solid restored their lead taking a huge leap towards Champions League participation. Up in not having one in their previous nine games against dortmund. Sure the visitors back line wasnt exactly inspiring but half an eye and came true when it really matters. So to me to invade the journalists and pundits have said ive grown up and become a real coach if we make third i might just put on a little crown at home and celebrate one of tours of once a month by which. He and his men just served they seem to want the end of the season when more than their opponents have to get as in this bowl mouth scramble with seventeen minutes left dortmund once more looked desperate rather than just term and. Not hugely deserved three points for half and hide taking them to the Promised Land of Champions League action in the coming season which they duly celebrated at the post match press conference. Thank. Goodness. Now we take a step down to the Europa League spots after throwing away. Champions League Chances like sage came out to berlin to consolidate six stopped and they came out flying from that corner from a comma heading in a corner in the second two minutes. But palin were pulling no punches either a database of each with the equalizer and thats when its like to. Be even if there was a bit of elbowing but like six struck back right away she moved an eye with the slicked back heel to i did my look plan for future care of the rest of us three goals in eight minutes. Past the had little to also like six punching power the next load came from a chunk of out of this down the hosts saved by the hard times bell but had so were left reeling soon after the restart thanks to a precise finish from team obama. And stein completed a bruising brace past so were looking out for the count. Not quite a counterattack puts finished in style has had to stop school rest Salomon Kalou netted his twelfth of the season for it too. But the definitive knockout blow came with eight minutes to play through my curling and absolute beauty to finally put the game to bet. The raging red bulls for me like sake made mincemeat of in six to one can look forward to the Europa League im sorry to rush washed up if you look to assist in two goals in the last two games bring on the world cup even complete. Byrons final home games tend to be Family Affairs this season it also meant to bid farewell to the coach with the most new prime friends. But she just cant work out to gatecrash the party anastasio is dawnas aidan is shown. A little love for the fire defense. And set up that held in check for a time. Show car taking a shot one milliliter the team time on corporate has turned from relegation material into your rope will be content. A quarter of an hour later it seemed like business as usual as problem tentatively so brought the stores level. Thats the frenchmen six goal of the season. But just before half time darkness went on another blistering run down the right except this time he took care of business some soft. Touch current feeds my few buyers on their own power. Shows some of the stakes are high because as the visitors took the lead into the break. And instead of taking their foot off the gas stuttgart wanted more. Shock apollos stunned the host to put his team trees one hour. To round off a glorious afternoon for stuttgart been checkmated for not quite the send up time kids had been hoping for. And theres still one game to go of course. It was a hiccup will be well prepared for the cup finals and then youll see a different buyer and. While its all about leveled off he is once again top goalscorer. Of their minds might be on the upcoming cup final but a good showing a gay child might help guarantee a spot in the right. That frankfurt came out flat and we saw yet another edition of the League Second best face with results one nil from ghetto books in the twenty six minutes at least frankfurt still have that cup final. Part of the mind squad celebrated avoiding. A drop in abuse so last week despite the distraction they came out publicly against Raymond John Phillips goodbye man not just the one male. Betta answer twenty three minutes later flying on crimes with the equalizer. A match with little to play for doesnt stop braman from pushing. Gave myself last they wrap things up ten minutes till final times better wins two one in my eyes. And now off to the bottom of the table freiburg needed a point to cut themselves out of the relegation discussion you can see relegation is a horror absolutely dreadful. Dropping the ball against ounds good would have been dreadful. But nicholas who flat made it one nailed Perfect Timing for his first league goals to kind deeds make sure of things sliding into the alcs bookkeepers legs to freiburg stays in the league good thing as a blues leader without coach to stanch price would be a whole raft. Sport have never been relegated from the top flight although theyve only been in it since the late nineties a point against cologne would be enough to stave off the drop. Goal scorers have seen better times of course having won the cup in twenty fifteen and believe in two thousand and nine. Distant memories now after struggling all season sport have lost their last three conceding ten goals in the process. For sun it was just too much to bear. And its shining ive been coaching for some time now im familiar with this kind of situation i know exactly what needs doing viewed our job is to win the game on saturday thank you know that video was brought in to rescue the club but his record of watching win from ten games is anything but encouraging. Contrary to expectations the home side got off to a great start just forty three seconds after takeoff joshua bell of the fire and home for the if the alcove that did both sports chances and more route no harm at all with quarter of an hour later the olds could have doubled their lead with but they were denied by the last myself or so if already relegated cologne were proving more resilience than expected suddenly a burst of flowing football with the visitors had drawn level the if you want to text you are evidently still trying to earn a world cup selection i have been there. And sport where back in the thick of it they have the worst home record and the worst Overall Record since the january restart history love idea. In the second half things got increasingly visible. But in the fifty fourth minute elation for a whole swath of dr who made these two out of the to take the lead the thank you was turning into vogue sports thats performance under law video and their biggest home win of the season if the defending open nominated three the third and in stoppage time your super kahlo also. I got on the scoresheet making it for what. I thought the crowd was mad at the map having also helped create the other three. But more importantly for sports managed to make the playoff spot for the second successive season. Thank you but. Its a funny feeling weve put in that performance but its still not over after that to be honest its an uneasy feeling. Although it could be worse of course and the fear factor. For myself before the game i believed we would make the playoff spots and of course now i firmly believe will progress for sure. Theyll be facing lowly killed in the two legged play offs and saturdays performance will at least give their confidence a welcome. So as one big top flight side lives to fight another day its curtains for the leagues oldest member. The hamburg faithful have had their belief tested in recent years narrowly escaping relegation a number of times have a go the only club to have played continuously in the bundesliga since its inception the northerners famously display a clock looking that time in the top flight confidence was high before kickoff despite their being second bottom. In the last few weeks the team have managed to get the fans back with the teams and fans showing a united front. So thats and him. Well not all fans thats the story involves book confirm tamba its first ever relegation things turned ugly ultras protested with flares forcing the referee to hole play as riot police were brought in. With just two minutes remaining. Those scenes are disappointing and have no place here a game had to be interrupted because the tiny minority that if this graceful way we dont want those people here is to see what soldier meant to me i was. The well behaved majority of the hive supporters might be reminded the offenders we have come back and youre not i think thats was so it was nice to see practically all the fans opposing them they booed the ultrasound showed their support for us that most of the fans had a positive mindset and mentioned a big push pull to teach this in bonn. And that Team Appeared to as well the hosts put black back under pressure from the start attempt it seemed to me that the real clearly stop to lewis holtby shot himself. At there and hunt stepped up to combat the penalty and hamburg their heads and at least have a chance of staying up. Hamburg even having a chance is largely thanks to coach christian tits whose brief new life into the side since he took over in mid march. Many fans wonder what might have been if only hed arrived sooner. Come its been a for sure you can debate that but he didnt come sooner and we messed up and. Yeah its. Complex time in the top flight but literally rubbing out my thanks to glad that you still had their eye on you break the lead finish your sit down with the twenty eight minutes and i said. I called time the away fans cheekily displayed their own clock counting down to the butts relegation the hosts stayed everything in the second half to restore the elite. I. Even with that news coming in from love sports. The passion was that i know its hope the top twenty way to retake the lead it proves to be the winner but still couldnt say for how but. I just must be beyond proud of what the team achieved how they performed in recent weeks and got all the fans believing again moment us here although today i can assure you that its all overshadowed by the disappointment on in so im going to view it in the indian toys. Helped almost fifty five years it was finally game over once the protest wound down the referee finished out the match. And then the cop stopped taking. The lead on the magazine bus and today was another demonstration of the power of this club the energy from the fans is unbelievable this club should definitely be in the top flight they find it so that you can even see them. But will promotion be a shoo in most of the big players contracts have opt out clause is for the second division. And the coach will be staying hamburg dubbed the dinosaur g two its longevity has left a planet but disney go its been a slow and painful decline but the clubs exit is at least an honorable one. Once again for anyone who doesnt believe it hamburg has been relegated to spice a two one win over because full support pulled off a four one when the season ended with the goal fast even berlin five a late because of the munich thirty six and all the highest scoring match day of the season. As always seasons and means saying goodbye not just to teams or to pensions as well. Yeah but if i cant begin to describe what hes done for the club. Kind because is the man of the season he took over by in seven months ago when they were five points behind dont meant and lead them to that twenty eight for this league title and at seventy three years old as coach hes won the Champions League twice has four League Titles and a cup victory maybe hell add another cup win next week against frankfurt hes also got to take the next season to conquer the competition have to give it their all who believe in themselves and already use a head of the season that biron will win it all again gives them the. Sun finally for the sixth time in a row its the good old job as i think there are pros and cons to a football lifestyle id love to be a shallow. Part of. Fired finish twenty one points above second place shall go to make the Champions League with hoffenheim and dortmund libertinism and lots of qualify for the Europa League whether frankfurt or stuttgart joins them depends on the cup final. There was a heart stopping finale at the bottom of fights in freiburg a safe while both struggle face hole trying to kill in the relegation play off then we wont be seeing cologne in hamburg in the bundesliga for at least a year what a fish. Well signed off this week with hamburgs First Division farewell. The Business Leaders are to have a President Club and town reality to touch them selves. To be good never. Too old. You be paid by the cars put it. In legend. East so really. Has to be fair i guess complainers are ahead so long to. Stimuli for the fans for the strait islanders here ive just been in zero. Goodbye hamburg and keep your chin up from kick off. Maybe well be seeing each other again
