Before the game on Saturday (2 p.m.) in Dortmund, Dynamo’s coach Markus Anfang (49) said: “In Niklas Hauptmann we have a player who can make the difference …”
The midfield engine has already scored two goals in the first three games. It took him a whole season to do that last year.

Hauptmann explains why he’s suddenly becoming a goal man: “After Ahmu’s gone, it’s my duty to go in there more.”
Captain makes the Arslan!
In the previous season, the goalscorer, who moved to Magdeburg, kept sneaking into the opposing penalty area from midfield, scoring most of his 25 goals in total.
Will Hauptmann now also become a goalscorer?
“Of course goals push,” he says. “But you always have to keep the balance. It is now important for us to classify everything factually and to continue with our thing.”
At the end of the English week we are now going to Dortmund. Hauptmann: “We want the three points. It’s about nothing else.”

A few years ago, the then Dynamo captain Marco Hartmann (35) compared him to a snake that snaked past opponents.
Hauptmann admits: “The nickname has haunted me a bit ever since. I didn’t see Harti again until the last home game.”
“Snake” Hauptmann – now he even bites in front of the gate…
