Heuer Fernandes or Peretz? Polzin comments on the goalkeeper battle | OneFootball

Which goalkeeper will Hamburger SV start with in the Bundesliga? Merlin Polzin will soon have to answer this question. Both Daniel Heuer Fernandes and Daniel Peretz can still count on their chances.

Since the announcement of Daniel Peretz's loan, the goalkeeper discussion has erupted at Hamburger SV. The Israeli, who is actually under contract with FC Bayern Munich, is challenging Daniel Heuer Fernandes, who has been with the club since 2019 and played a significant role in their promotion. In the match against SC Freiburg, Peretz was part of the A-team, which was close to victory at 1:1 until shortly before the end.

However, Merlin Polzin did not want to see this decision as decisive. "We have two great goalkeepers, both of whom have slightly different styles of play. I am extremely happy that both are with us and are challenging each other to bring out the best in themselves and each other," he emphasized after the game (via Mopo). He also made it clear that he does not want to comment on the competition for individual positions every week.

Polzin praises both goalkeepers

His lineup was "already a hint for some" and had "performance-related reasons," Polzin explained. There is currently no trend in the goalkeeping position. The coaching team is experimenting there, "because there are only limited positions for these players." Thus, Peretz and Heuer Fernandes are likely to share playing time in the last test match in Mallorca (Saturday, 8:00 PM).

Polzin was satisfied with the presence of both keepers. The otherwise little-occupied Peretz, who was powerless against the conceded goal, "did well in terms of volume." But his competitor, who could not prevent the 0:4 defeat in the second half, also had his volume. "We will calmly review everything on video," Polzin continued. By the cup match in Pirmasens on August 16, it should be clear which goalkeeper HSV will start their mission to stay in the league with.
