Goalkeeper decision: Polzin names his number one! | OneFootball

The decision of Merlin Polzin was eagerly awaited as to who would guard the goal at the start of the Bundesliga. The trust goes to Daniel Heuer Fernandes.

At the beginning of the press conference this Friday before the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach, the head coach announced his team's decision. "Ferro gives the team a lot of security, has a lot of experience in the club. I believe his strengths are well known," said Merlin Polzin, who referred to the special qualities of the promotion keeper in one-on-one situations.

For Daniel Peretz, who was only loaned from FC Bayern about a month ago, Polzin also had warm words. He was enthusiastic about the goalkeeper duel: "I am very, very happy to make a decision between these two goalkeepers." In addition, the Israeli goes ahead with an "extremely positive mindset" and is a firm part of the leadership group.

Polzin emphasized that the choice of Daniel Heuer Fernandes is not completely set in stone: "In the end, one starts now. Of course, I expect maximum performance." He pointed out that it is a duel "like on any other position".

However, Heuer Fernandes starts with a lead, who has only played seven Bundesliga matches so far, in the 2016/17 season for SV Darmstadt 98. Since 2019, the Bochum-born has been wearing the Hamburg jersey, had to give way to Sven Ulreich and Matheo Raab in the meantime, but always fought his way back and had a significant share in the return to the Bundesliga.

Heuer Fernandes now has to tie in with his strong performances from the previous season at a higher level - not only to keep his regular place, but also to increase the chances of staying in the league. HSV will need a strong goalkeeper to be able to pull tight games on its side.
