Dynamo Dresden on course for promotion: team of players full of hope!

Dynamo Dresden continues to be the focus of sporting discussion, especially due to the outstanding performances of Tony Menzel and Niklas Hauptmann. Both players, who act in the control center of the team, are characterized not only by their style of play, but also by their humorous interaction with one another. Hauptmann highlights Menzel's aggressive style of play in duels and praises his efforts in training, while Menzel credits Hauptmann for his ball security, which makes him almost flawless in training.

Since his return to Dresden two and a half years ago, Hauptmann has been injury-free and emphasizes the importance of regular games to increase physical resilience. Both have long-term contracts until 2028 and Hauptmann is optimistic that the club will be promoted to the second division by then. Team spirit is essential for him and should be maintained until the end of the season.

Further developments at Dynamo Dresden

In addition to the positive news surrounding Hauptmann and Menzel, goalkeeping coach David Yelldell has extended his contract with Dynamo Dresden. Yelldell has served in this role since July 2020. Given the current injury situation, the sick players David Kubatta and Tom Berger are returning after the training camp in Turkey. Dmytro Bohdanov, who was also ill, will also resume training.

In order to better integrate talent into the first team, Dynamo plans to announce a second team by the end of January. Further personnel developments include the extension of Lars Bünning's contract by at least one year and Ulf Kirsten's consideration of extending his contract with the sports management. No new players have been signed at the moment, apart from Andi Hoti and Dominik Kother, who are new to the team.

The spectator composition for the planned test match against Rot-Weiss Essen in the training camp shows a lot of interest, as around 400 spectators are expected, including 300 from Essen. The club recently passed the 30,000 member mark, which is impressive for a third division club. The sporting performance also speaks for itself: in the last game of 2023, the team secured top spot with a 2-1 win against Waldhof Mannheim and scored the most goals in the 3rd league in the fall.

As Kyu-hyun Park leaves the club to join Daejeon Hana Citizen FC in South Korea, there is optimism about the future development of players like Menzel, who wants to focus his progress at Dynamo despite interest from several clubs.
