Dynamo Dresden: Starts the VW Cup in Zwickau full of momentum!
Dynamo Dresden is back in the 2nd Bundesliga! After an intensive season, coach Thomas Stamm's team achieved promotion to Germany's second highest division. The last three seasons in the 3rd league were a challenge, but with an impressive third place and a strong match record of 19 wins and only 8 defeats, the team prevailed in the promotion year. Captain Stefan Kutschke and top scorer Christoph Daferner contributed to this success with a total of 32 goals. In addition, the young goalkeeper Tim Schreiber was an important pillar in the team with his average of only 0.93 goals conceded per game. So reported bundesliga.com about the impressive return of the Saxons.
In order to keep in shape and optimally prepare for the challenges ahead, Dynamo Dresden will take part in the VW Cup in Zwickau next Sunday, July 20th. The tournament, with games against FSV Zwickau and VfL Wolfsburg, gives coach Stamm the opportunity to try out different tactical approaches and test personnel alternatives.
