The new Dynamo: strong at the back, effective with standards

Dynamo now also dangerous with set-pieces

The new Dynamo are not only identified by a solid, united defence. Dresden in 2026 is also a consistent user of set-pieces, which are also hit into the opposition penalty area in a variety of ways and then converted relatively effectively.

In addition, the team is always dangerous through the ball-savvy Niklas Hauptmann and Jason Ceka during transitional moments, although there is still room for improvement in terms of effectiveness. "We know that, but we've always emphasized that we can also be dangerous in those areas, as we were today," said Stamm.

Keller: You have to be able to suffer

Football-wise, the performance in the second half was no treat. "You have to be able to suffer in soccer and we suffered for the last ten minutes," said Keller, who had been called up as a striker in his youth before "it went further and further backwards."

The team will have to step up their game against Arminia Bielefeld - their closest neighbors in the table - on Sunday to keep the euphoria simmering. They have to repeat what they showed in Magdeburg. "Maybe play a bit better soccer than today," said Keller.
