Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Head coach Merlin Polzin clarified the last personnel before Hamburger SV’s Bundesliga start. A promotion hero won the duel for the place in the goal: And so HSV with goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes has been number one in his first season in the Bundesliga in seven years. Two days before the start on Sunday with the game at Borussia Mönchengladbach, head coach Merlin Polzzin informed his decision to the 32 -year -old promotion and his challenger Daniel Peretz (25).
The trainer explains: “He gives us great security and has a lot of experience in the club.” At the same time, he praised the Bayern loan Peretz for his sporting achievements and his human qualities. “He is part of the Leadership Group,” said 34-year-old Polzin.
Heuer Fernandes had a significant part in the rise of the HSV. Last season he played 31 second division games. Most recently, he was in the goal in the DFB Cup in the DFB Cup last Saturday. Peretz had only been borrowed from Bayern Munich in the summer and is to continue to heat the competition with Heuer Fernandes.
Sebastian Schonlau switched to the Vancouver Whitecaps to the MLS after four years at HSV. In the “picture”, the central defender spoke about his transfer for the first time: “He is difficult because I have experienced a lot in Hamburg and have a lot of people in my heart. But – as things developed after the climb, it is good to do something new,” said Schonlau. It is a “good time for the farewell”.
The 31-year-old had previously lost his regular place. At the HSV cup game in Pirmasens last weekend, he was not in the squad. The association even offered him a contract resolution.
Nevertheless, for Sebastian Schonlau, the beautiful memories of his years with the “red pants” predominate: “I had a wonderful time at HSV. The big goal was always the climb.”
The HSV is again a first division team – and a film team has closely accompanied the rise of Hamburg’s rise over 18 months. The result is the documentary “Always Hamburg – Hope. Pain. Connection”, which director Tom Häussler shot for ZDF. All six parts have been available in the ZDF media library since August 22nd. On August 27, ZDF also shows all parts on classic television.
