The contrast at Dynamo Dresden in the game with and without the ball remains a source of annoyance for coach Thomas Stamm. "We have solutions with the ball, I'm concerned with playing against the ball. We've focused extremely much on defense this week, at the end of the day it's my job to make sure we get it right," Stamm criticized after the lucky 3:3 (1:2) against Karlsruher SC, in which he included himself.
On their fourth attempt, Dynamo again failed to secure a home win after being promoted back to the 2nd Bundesliga. Even worse: With 16 goals conceded, the Saxons are the league's shooting gallery together with Eintracht Braunschweig.
He doesn't see a fundamental problem with set pieces, Stamm asserted, but he recognizes the cause: "We want to press too early, i.e. create ball pressure instead of closing down the middle. We need to be more patient and find a better structure defensively". Lukas Boeder emphasized that they need to work on "simply being more stable after taking the lead and generally conceding fewer goals. We're working on that".
