That was probably the biggest surprise that HSV coach Dieter Hecking conjured up on the lawn after the last minute 2: 3 in Stuttgart.
At 3-2 against Wehen Wiesbaden, he exchanged the goalkeeper! Daniel Heuer Fernandes (27) out – Julian Pollersbeck (25) in!
Ironically Pollersbeck! He hadn’t played a role with the professionals this season. There are only five games for the regional league team in his season vita.
The last one on November 30, 2019 at 2: 4 against Wolfsburg II. In the 2nd league “Polle” was last over a year ago – on 4.5.2019 at 0: 3 against Ingolstadt – between the posts.
Cold start for Pollersbeck, who has only been back in training since Wednesday after an ankle injury. Tom Mickel (31) was sitting on the bench. Fernandes was not in the squad this year.
Hecking explains: “Heuer Fernandes had three difficult games recently, so he was given a day off. I notice in training when a player is tired of what’s going on in his head. As a coach, I can already judge who has to be in the goal. “
Relaxation break for Heuer Fernandes. Or is it a signal for the season’s final spurt? Because Pollersbeck did a really good job, was safe and powerless on the two goals in 3-2 against Wehen Wiesbaden.
The professional colleagues were just as surprised as Pollersbeck’s start-up assignment as experts and fans. Double scorer David Kinsombi: “Polle, like all goalkeepers, has our trust. He did a good job and was right in the goal. ”Hecking:“ I am delighted that I have three good goalkeepers in my team. ”
