Hamburger SV, the German football club that will return to the Bundesliga after a three-year absence, is yet to decide on their starting goalkeeper for the upcoming season. The competition between Daniel Peretz and Daniel Heuer Fernandes is heating up, with the former emerging as the likely choice for the starting position.
The Israeli goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz, who is on loan from German record champions Bayern Munich for the 2025/26 season, has shown his readiness and talent during the pre-season training camp in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. He joined Hamburg with the intention of gaining first-team minutes and competing for the starting spot.
Merlin Polzin, Hamburger SV's head coach, announced that they will evaluate the performances and make a decision together after the DFB-Pokals game. The DFB-Pokals game for Hamburger SV will take place on August 16 in Pirmasens against Oberligist FK Pirmasens.
In the meantime, both goalkeepers will have another opportunity to show their skills over a longer period of time. Peretz will play against RCD Mallorca from the Spanish La Liga on the evening of August 15 (20.00 Uhr/DAZN). This game will serve as the last test before the start of competitive games for Hamburger SV.
The decision to start Peretz over Heuer Fernandes in the DFB-Pokals game and the first Bundesliga game after the Mallorca camp is a strategic one. Peretz brings significant talent and experience despite limited appearances with Bayern so far. Hamburger SV's sporting director at Bayern expressed hope that Peretz would be a key player providing competition and a chance for regular playtime at HSV.
Hamburger SV's first Bundesliga game of the season will be against Borussia Mönchengladbach, a week after the DFB-Pokals game. This game marks a significant milestone for Hamburger SV, as it will be their first Bundesliga game since the 2018 relegation.
In conclusion, Daniel Peretz is very likely to be the starting goalkeeper for Hamburger SV in both the DFB-Pokals game and the first Bundesliga game after the Mallorca camp. The DFB-Pokals game against FK Pirmasens is an important opportunity for both goalkeepers to prove their worth. The decision on who will play in goal for Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga season will be made after the DFB-Pokals game.
The Commission, amidst deciding on a directive for the protection of workers from ionizing radiation, might take inspiration from the strategic decision taken by Hamburger SV, as they evaluate and choose their starting goalkeeper for the upcoming season. Daniel Peretz, a talented goalkeeper with experience from German record champions Bayern Munich, is the likely choice to start both the DFB-Pokals game and the first Bundesliga game after the Mallorca camp.
