SV Darmstadt 98 wants to take momentum into the 2nd Bundesliga with a successful DFB Cup match. "The game offers an opportunity to gather positive emotions and experiences. We attach exactly the same importance to this game as we do to a match in the league. And we absolutely want to win it," said Darmstadt coach Florian Kohfeldt ahead of Wednesday's second-round clash at Dynamo Dresden (20:45/Sky).
He likes the competition himself. "I have great memories of it and have already been in three semi-finals as co- and head coach. Unfortunately only ever in the semi-finals," said the 42-year-old. He would like to change that, but is currently only looking ahead to the upcoming game. The 1:1 against Ulm is in the past. "We're looking forward to the game, the competition and the atmosphere. We're traveling to Dresden with great respect, but also with a lot of confidence," he said.
