After losing the keeper battle: Peretz considered leaving HSV! | OneFootball

The duel between Daniel Peretz and Daniel Heuer Fernandes was one of the defining topics of this HSV summer. Ultimately, veteran Heuer Fernandes won the duel.

The decision by the HSV coaching team to send Daniel Peretz into the season as a backup goalkeeper hit the Israeli goalkeeper hard. As Bild reports, this news caused a lot of frustration for the 25-year-old. His mood was down for several days, with frustration and disappointment dominating his thoughts. Peretz even considered the idea of another club change to finally get a starting lineup guarantee.

However, after intense discussions with close friends and his future wife, he made a decision: the Bayern loan remains with HSV and takes on the sporting challenge. He had previously rejected offers from CFC Genoa and Stade Brest, even though a starting position there would have been guaranteed.

Several Glimmers of Hope for Peretz

Currently, Peretz can only gain regular match practice with the national team. After the clear 4-0 victory in Moldova, the World Cup qualification duel against Italy is on the agenda on Monday evening (8:45 PM). There, the keeper wants to prove once again that he can tap into his potential despite his reserve role at HSV.

Also good for Peretz: His status as a backup is anything but set in stone. Merlin Polzin has already emphasized that there could indeed be a change as the season progresses. “In the end, one starts now. I expect maximum top performance,” the head coach made clear.

Should Heuer Fernandes not regularly deliver the required top performances, a door could open. Because even in the derby defeat against FC St. Pauli (0:2), the promotion hero did not always make the best impression.
