Heuer Fernandes or Peretz? HSV face key decision in goalkeeper battle! | OneFootball

The eagerly anticipated decision in the goalkeeper duel at HSV is on the horizon. Daniel Heuer Fernandes gets another chance against Pirmasens.

The perhaps most exciting duel in the Hamburg SV squad is nearing its end: Head coach Merlin Polzin still has to decide who will guard the goal of the Rothosen on the first Bundesliga matchday against Borussia Mönchengladbach (August 24). In the spotlight are Daniel Heuer Fernandes and Daniel Peretz. Both keepers have been in an intense, but fair duel since Peretz's arrival about three weeks ago.

Heuer Fernandes, who guarded the HSV goal in 31 second division matches in the past promotion season and made himself immortal with the saved penalty against Ulm, confidently looks forward to the decision. His role as a leader in the dressing room could become an advantage. For the 32-year-old, it is clear: He wants to defend his regular place under all circumstances!

His challenger Peretz came to Hamburg on loan from FC Bayern. He too has the clearly formulated goal of becoming number one. For the Israeli, the move to HSV was a conscious decision: He even turned down an offer from Italian first division club CFC Genoa in order to get the chance of a regular place on the Elbe.

HSV: Polzin emphasizes "good competition"

Unlike many other positions, Polzin therefore has the agony of choice in goal. On Saturday, Heuer Fernandes will start in the DFB Cup match against the Oberliga team FK Pirmasens. Peretz was allowed to start in the last test match against RCD Mallorca.

The final decision is expected to be made immediately after the match in Pirmasens. "We will evaluate it together and then determine who will be number one," Polzin was recently quoted by kicker and makes it clear. "We have a very good competition for this position."
