4 stars keen to play: HSV face a selection headache | OneFootball

No other position at HSV is as well-stocked as the goal. Not only does the duel for the number one promise high tension.

Just under three weeks before the start of the season, there is an open competition for the goalkeeper position at Hamburger SV. Four keepers are fighting for playing time in the summer preparation. In the spotlight are, above all, the incumbent Daniel Heuer Fernandes and newcomer Daniel Peretz. Both are considered contenders for the number one spot for the kick-off against Borussia Mönchengladbach (24.08).

Peretz, who came on loan from FC Bayern, has been extremely committed since his arrival and has put in extra shifts with goalkeeper coach Sven Höh. The Israeli national player is working hard to familiarize himself with HSV's style of play. As Bild reports, the 25-year-old is also very interested in the dressing room and openly approaches his new teammates.

HSV: The second goalkeeper suit fits too!

Heuer Fernandes, on the other hand, who contributed significantly to the promotion last season, is considered the stronger playing goalkeeper and showed an outstanding performance in the test match against Olympique Lyon.

In the upcoming acid test against SC Freiburg, both goalkeepers are expected to get 70 minutes of playing time each. Further impressions can be gathered in the test match against Real Mallorca (9 August) and in the DFB Cup match against FK Pirmasens (16 August) before Merlin Polzin and goalkeeper coach Höh have to make a final decision.

Behind the leading duo, Hannes Hermann ranks, who moved up to number three after the retirement of Tom Mickel and the departure of Matheo Raab. However, the homegrown player had to take a break due to injury. The gap was filled by newcomer Fernando Dickes. The 17-year-old is currently gaining match practice with the U21s and travelled with them to an international tournament in France. At the recent regional league kick-off against Hannover 96, Dickes, who is technically still a youth player, also impressed and kept a clean sheet.
