Dresden. October 20, 2020 was not a good day for Dynamo Dresden. In front of only 999 admitted spectators in the Sachsenderby against FSV Zwickau, the black and yellow first lost veteran Chris Löwe due to a ligament tear in his knee, in the end also the game with 1: 2 (1: 2). Dynamo bothers to this day, because Löwe is still not fit again and the defeat against FSV is like a stain on the otherwise white home vest. Therefore, the Dresdeners are hot for the second leg, which will kick off this Saturday at 2 p.m. in Zwickau (MDR live).

“This is a derby where we have to make up for something. We deservedly lost the first leg and now it’s up to us to make up for it, ”affirmed coach Markus Kauczinski. He is sure that the team will want to erase the stigma from autumn this time: “Everyone is burning for Zwickau.” For the team and the coach, it is clear that things will be going very well in the GGZ-Arena in Eckersbach. Nobody will touch the other with kid gloves, rather pull out the sharp blade: “We expect a biting, physically very robust team from Zwickau,” said Kauczinski.

The Dresden trainer paid special tribute to FSV storm tank Ronny König. The 37-year-old attacker from West Saxony is still a regular despite his age, has scored six goals and prepared two in 22 appearances. The Zwickau center forward, who has 220 second division games for Darmstadt, Aue, Oberhausen and Wiesbaden as well as 195 third division games for Chemnitz and Zwickau in his vita, is “a really great guy”, said Kauczinski. He has “huge respect” for the Lichtensteiner, “that he can still bring this performance”. The 1.90 meter tall and massive king is very, very good at “securing balls and passing them on”.

When running in, you have to watch out for the oldie, as he is very strong at the top, according to the Dresden coach. However, there would be some great strikers in the league that Dynamo mostly “as a team on the chain” could have put. Not only the defenders are asked to provide the Zwickau crusher. The midfielders would also have to fetch balls that had been dropped by the king, “to secure the path in the deep when fighting for the second ball”. All of that was discussed in training, said Kauczinski. “We tried to simulate that.” Everyone is prepared for King: “We will fight him together.”

But not only King is dangerous – midfielder Morris Schröter (eight goals, three assists) also has a lot of pull to goal. Before Marco Schikora (three goals) and Leon Jensen (one goal, four assists), the Dynamo professionals are warned anyway, because the duo scored in the first leg.

Nonetheless, Dynamo have gained 15 points more so far and are the strongest away team in the league (21 points), while Zwickau is one of the weakest at home with eleven points (16th place). And despite the long-term injuries (C. Löwe, Hartmann, Weihrauch, Becker) and the absence of captain Sebastian Mai (red card suspension) and vice-captain Yannick Stark (shoulder problems), Dynamo’s squad has even more individual quality than that of FSV trainer Joe Enochs . But in a derby, usually the one who wants to win more wins. So there is a character test waiting for both teams.
