Polzin makes his call: Peretz to start in goal for HSV in the DFB-Pokal | OneFootball

So far, Bayern loanee Daniel Peretz has been waiting in vain for his first appearance in goal for HSV. But against Heidenheim, the time has come!

This is the opportunity Daniel Peretz has been waiting for over many weeks: the Israeli will be in goal from the start in the 2nd round of the DFB Cup against 1. FC Heidenheim (Tuesday, 6:30 p.m.). For the 25-year-old, who joined the Elbe on loan from FC Bayern in the summer, this is a welcome chance to prove his abilities.

After all, Peretz had envisioned his commitment to HSV quite differently. His goal was to challenge regular goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes for the number one spot. But so far, he has had to be patient and watch as the long-time mainstay continued to impress with top performances in the Bundesliga.

Polzin renews praise for Peretz!

About two weeks ago, Peretz made no secret of his disappointment. After his national team’s 0-5 defeat in Norway, he openly stated that he was considering the possibility of ending his loan early in the winter. “It’s obvious that I’m disappointed not to be playing in Hamburg,” he explained.

However, there was no drastic reaction to his statements. The club’s management repeatedly emphasizes how much they value Peretz’s sporting quality and professional attitude. Coach Merlin Polzin has also repeatedly praised his backup keeper—and on Monday afternoon announced his competitive debut for HSV!

“We will make some changes in certain positions,” Polzin announced in a media round. “Tomorrow evening, Daniel Peretz will be in goal. He has earned it through his training performances and leadership qualities.” Heuer Fernandes, on the other hand, will have to take a seat on the bench in Swabia and is expected to return to the starting lineup in the Bundesliga match against 1. FC Köln (02.11, 3:30 p.m.).
