It's kind of crazy what's happening with and at Dynamo Dresden at the moment. With a miserable run in 2024, the team is squandering a ten-point lead over the promotion relegation zone to Bundesliga 2. Surprisingly, it was not the coach who was blamed for the sporting failure and fired, but the sporting director Ralf Becker. And then the team wins a sold-out Friday evening match against TSV 11860 Munich 2:1 (1:1) and is suddenly top of the table again, at least overnight. It's all somehow surreal, says captain and goalscorer Stefan Kutschke.
"It was a turbulent week, there was a lot of criticism - and rightly so. It was important to me that a few players have now said something and that action will follow," said Kutschke, who had denied some of his teammates the will to succeed after the 1-0 defeat in Halle a week ago. "The way the game was won at the back shows that the core of the team is clean," said the captain, putting his statements into perspective and adding: "I take my hat off to the team's reaction."
