Relegation-threatened
Hamburg confirmed Sunday that their players came to half-time blows
during their latest defeat amidst jokes that even Cristiano Ronaldo
could not help the Bundesliga strugglers avoid an historic drop.
Their 2-0 home defeat to Wolfsburg on Saturday left Hamburg 17th in the table and four points from safety with six games left, Sky Sports reports.
They finished with ten men after Swiss defender Johan Djourou was sent off late on for a second yellow card against Wolfsburg.
Hamburg’s media director confirmed
reports that Djourou and midfielder Valon Behrami came to blows in the
Hamburg dressing-room during the half-time break.
“It’s true, there was an incident and those involved will be fined,” Hamburg’s Joern Wolf said.
Hamburg have failed to score in the last
494 minutes of Bundesliga football and have netted just 16 times in
their 28 league games this season, leading to jokes even Real Madrid
goal-machine Ronaldo could not save them from relegation.
“My brother said that even Cristiano
Ronaldo could come – and he wouldn’t be able to help either,” quipped
Hamburg’s Croatia striker Ivica Olic.
