Is the question about the goalkeeper's decision today?
The starting goalkeeper for HSV in their recent Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach was Daniel Heuer Fernandes. His performance, which included crucial saves that secured a goalless draw, suggests that the coaching team has favored him as the starter for this match [2][5].
However, the question of who will be the first-choice goalkeeper for HSV remains unanswered. Before the season began, coach Merlin Polzin had not made a definitive decision on whether Heuer Fernandes or Daniel Peretz would be the number one [1].
The coaching team, led by Merlin Polzin and goalkeeper coach Sven Höh, has been evaluating the performance of both Heuer Fernandes and Peretz during training [3]. Polzin had previously arranged for Peretz to play in a friendly match against Mallorca and Heuer Fernandes in a cup match against Pirmasens, to give each a chance to impress [4].
The final units before the match against Gladbach could still influence the evaluation of the duel between Heuer Fernandes and Peretz. Last week, Polzin fielded the same personnel composition in the final training session as was used in the match against the Oberligist [6].
HSV fans have also weighed in on the debate. A WhatsApp poll revealed that the majority of fans prefer Daniel Heuer Fernandes as the new starting goalkeeper, with 92.5% of the votes [7].
The team will train on Wednesday morning for the first time this week, before the trip to Mönchengladbach. A video meeting will be held by the coaching team to discuss the starting goalkeeper [1]. The decision on who will start between Heuer Fernandes and Peretz could be made on Wednesday [1].
It seems advisable to strengthen the number one of the HSV future before the weekend, to mentally prepare for the starting position. The final decision lies with the coaching team led by Merlin Polzin and goalkeeper coach Sven Höh.
