Davie Selke's Image Struggle

Davie Selke from Hamburger SV understands the doubts surrounding him. "I want to win desperately and can’t stand losing, whether in training or in the game. This is why I can even understand that many who only know me from television or the football pitch have a negative image of me," the 29-year-old told the Hamburger Abendblatt.

Changing Perspectives

Many people tell me I’m not as bad as they thought—"not such an arrogant guy, not a jerk" as they presumed, Selke continued. "I just want those who truly know me to have a good impression of me." Selke joined the Hanseatic club over the summer. So far, he hasn’t scored in four league matches but did contribute a goal in the DFB-Pokal during a stunning 7-1 win against Meppen. Throughout his career, he has also played for Werder Bremen, RB Leipzig, Hertha BSC, and recently 1. FC Köln. The Hamburger SV will face off against Jahn Regensburg on Sunday at 1:30 PM (Sky).
