Borzin said after renewing the contract: "Everyone knows that Hamburg is my hometown club. Since I came to work in Hamburg, the team logo on my chest has made me proud. I have felt particularly nervous over the past few months, especially because of the promotion to the Bundesliga, and our coaching team understands what this club means to the fans. We will focus on preparing Hamburg for the Bundesliga, we treat this work with the greatest modesty and the greatest ambition, and do our best for Hamburg day after day."
