Leipzig (dpa) -
Dynamo's most beautiful defeat
Thomas Stamm can also be different. The usually critical Dynamo coach, who rarely has a smile on his face, came out of his shell despite Dresden's 1-0 defeat at SV Waldhof Mannheim. He took the beer shower in the press conference in his stride and roared "Never again 3rd division" with the players and fans as the promotion heroes arrived at the Dynamo Academy on Sunday night.
He nevertheless fulfilled his responsibility to the team. At least he tried to. When the team stormed the press conference, he sent them away again with the admonishing words - "Have a non-alcoholic drink in between". He refrained from analyzing the team's performance, which was anything but ready for promotion.
Much more, he looked back on his first season in Elbflorenz. "There is a lot of joy. Especially when I see how many long-standing employees, including players who have been with the club, burst into tears. It's an expression of what the club means to the city and vice versa. That's one thing and that's exactly how it has to be. It's nice that we were able to give something back today," said Stamm on "MagentaSport", before he also joined in the celebrations.
