Gripes about HSV's goalie, Heuer Fernandes - Bounce back after a blunder!
As a goalkeeper, you're bound to make mistakes, according to ex-HSV keeper Adler. Adler, who played in the Bundesliga for Leverkusen (2003-2012), HSV (2012-2017), and Mainz (2017-2019), boasting a total of 269 league appearances, shared this sentiment.
What's the best approach when you're seething with frustration over your gaffe, as was the case at the Millerntor, and the opposing fans taunt you, jeering at every touch?
Adler: "Given time after a misstep like that, your heart naturally speeds up. Everyone's got their unique ways to move past it. You need to regroup quickly. Post-match, you can assess, get irked, and feel sorry for yourself at home."
The ex-keeper, now a TV pundit and commentator, added: "On the field, it needs a few minutes to get over such a blunder. You just gotta shake off the moment. I tried to rally the team, delivering a specific message to my forwards to let 'Em know Ferro won't let the blunder drag him down. He's still there, still got the guts to direct."
And: "That's crucial. But if you retreat and suddenly go silent, then it leaves a bigger impact on your teammates than the blunder itself."
Adler commended Heuer Fernandes' reaction after his own goal: "Ferro bounced back well. Every keeper makes mistakes. It's about how you react to them and how you come back during the game. That's where the good ones surpass the great ones."
