HSV signing Peretz: What I learnt from Manuel Neuer! | OneFootball

Three days after his move to HSV, Daniel Peretz has spoken to the media for the first time. The keeper is eager for his new task.

Daniel Peretz has been a player for Hamburger SV only since the beginning of this week. And yet, the Israeli national keeper has already had a decent workload: On Monday, he trained individually with goalkeeper coach Sven Höh, and in the following days, he had a unit with the entire team.

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old, who was signed on loan from FC Bayern, has fully arrived in the circle of his new team. He spoke to the Hanseatic press landscape for the first time about his move to the Bundesliga promoted team.

Peretz: "Was very happy about HSV's interest"

"Everyone knows how big the club is," says Peretz about his new employer. "The promotion celebrations were visible everywhere. It became clear what kind of charisma this club has. As a footballer, it is one of our greatest privileges to make people happy and create such images." The logical conclusion: "I was very happy when I heard about HSV's interest."

Looking at the upcoming season, Peretz appears down-to-earth but ambitious. "For a promoted team, it's first about staying in the league. But we also know that more is possible if we reach our limit," says the goalkeeper. "But that's in the future. At the start of the season, it will be important to develop a good feeling for each other and get a good start."

His great role model: Manuel Neuer

A particular highlight in his career so far remains the time at FC Bayern for Peretz. The 1.90m-tall man particularly emphasized the collaboration with Manuel Neuer. "For me, it was an incredible experience to train alongside such a great goalkeeper. He is one of the reasons I wanted to become a goalkeeper," explained the seven-time national player.

And further: "When I grew up, I looked up to him. He revolutionized the position of the goalkeeper. His personality and mentality are incredible. Nothing can impress him anymore. He is an absolute professional. There are some things you can't copy or learn from him because he is simply Manuel Neuer."

The long-time DFB captain is no longer just a role model, but also a friend: "He always had time for me, gave me tips. I'm very grateful to him."
