Dynamo play in mourning and want to commemorate club icon Hans-Jürgen Kreische. Against Hertha, Dresden want to block out "impressions from outside".

It will be an emotionally difficult evening for Dynamo Dresden in the top match against Hertha BSC. Before the second division match under floodlights, club icon and honorary captain Hans-Jürgen Kreische, who died on the night of April 1, will be remembered. After that, the Elbe club will have to be at full strength in the relegation battle.

"When a personality like him leaves this world, it affects everyone in and around the club. It's news you never want to hear and yet it grounds you before such a highlight game. The term 'honorary captain' alone shows what he shaped a time and what he did for the club," said head coach Thomas Stamm ahead of this Saturday's match (20:30/RTL Nitro and Sky).

Stamm: "We have to stay focused"

At the same time, he wants to shake his team awake. "We have to focus on the essentials and try to block out the impressions from outside. It's about three important points in a game that we're all looking forward to. We have to stay focused on ourselves and what we can influence," emphasized Stamm, who will still be without the long-term injured Lennart Grill. Stefan Kutschke (yellow card suspension), Vinko Šapina (back problems) and Elias Bethke (abdominal muscle strain) will also miss out.

Hertha will be hoping for their fourth win from the last five games. There is still a residual hope of promotion, even if nobody in the Berlin team wants to discuss this publicly. Promoted Dresden recently suffered a setback in Paderborn (1:2). On the other hand, the team in twelfth place in the table shone with a 6-0 win at home against Preußen Münster.
