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”.
Hamburger SV lost its third test game in preparation for the upcoming Bundesliga season on Saturday. The climber lost 0: 4 (0: 3) to the French first division club Olympique Lyon. The game took place as part of the official opening of the season in front of 45,757 spectators.
The team of coach Merlin Polzin showed significant weaknesses, especially on the defensive. Newcomer Jordan Torunarigha and his defense colleagues could not prevent the rapid attacks by the French. Malick Fofana brought Lyon into the lead in the 17th minute. Ainsley Maitland-Miles (31st) and Georges Mikautadze (39th) increased to 0: 3 before the break.
The test game was played over twice 60 minutes. After the first hour, Polzin changed its entire team. The newcomers Yussuf Poulsen and goalkeeper Daniel Peretz also came to their first missions in the HSV jersey. The Peretz borrowed from FC Bayern had little opportunity to distinguish himself. The long -time Leipzig striker Poulsen remained largely inconspicuous.
In the second half of the game, Afonso Moreira scored the 0: 4 final score in the 95th minute. For the HSV, it was the third test game defeat after the defeats against FC Copenhagen (0: 1) and Sturm Graz (1: 2).
Hamburger SV presented the new alternative jersey for the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. “The home jersey in white, the away look in blue and now the alternative jersey in black,” says the Hanseatic Hanseatic Law. The new jersey is “refreshingly different” and a reference to the black away jerseys of the 2000s.
The HSV combines a special message with the jersey. Bridges should “beat between people and generations, between the past and the future,” it says. “Modern accents reflect the energy of the young generation and give the design a clear, contemporary manuscript. Inspired by previous jerseys, the new look brings fresh impulses – on the square as well as on the street.”
What is striking is the neon-pink and neon yellow accents on the shoulders and neon yellow, which is otherwise in a simple black. The new dress is now available in the fan shop. Adults pay 99.95 euros for the jersey, 69.95 euros are due for children.
The goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, borrowed from FC Bayern Munich, clearly formulated his sporting ambitions after moving to Hamburger SV. During a media round on Thursday, the 25-year-old Israeli emphasized his claim to the season at the Bundesliga promoter.
“Of course it is my big goal to play. In life like in football, there is nothing for nothing,” said Peretz. He therefore works intensively on his development every day. “First of all, I compete with myself: I want to get up and off the square every day.”
According to his commitment from the German record champions, a competition for the position in the goal is expected in Hamburg. In the past promotion season, Daniel Heuer Fernandes was the undisputed number one and recently convinced in the test games.
Peretz is aware that his goalkeeper colleagues are also striving for time. Nevertheless, he doesn’t see her as an opponent. “For me, the other keepers are always colleagues with whom you work together every day – be it on the pitch, in the weight room or at meetings,” said the newcomer. A positive atmosphere in the team is particularly important for him.
