It is far from his first return to Dresden – and still a premiere …
For the first time since his involuntary departure three and a half years ago, Pascal Testroet (31) will not dribble with Aue in the Harbig Stadium on Saturday, but with SV Sandhausen!
After a six-week forced break due to Achilles tendon problems, “Paco” warmed up in time for the duel at his ex-club.
In the 2-2 draw against Bremen, the striker scored both goals for the sand houses. And that wasn’t just any, but number 100 and 101 of his professional career.
Testroet slammed 21 of them in for Dynamo, making a big contribution to the promotion to the second division in 2016. Even today, the executor raves when he thinks of his three years in black and yellow.
“It was just pure emotions, the promotion, the first second division goal, the comeback after my cruciate ligament rupture,” says Testroet. And admits: “I will always be a Dynamo fan.”
Which is not least due to the force of the cult club.
“Paco” enthuses: “This mood, the K-block, the choreos, that’s crazy! It felt normal to always play in front of 30,000 people at home. I lived the dream of football in Dresden. “
However, that does not mean that he will lose himself in daydreams on Saturday. On the contrary! “Anyone can read the table. We urgently need points. I want to win on Saturday, ”explains Testroet.
Because even if everything in Sandhausen feels a bit smaller, the pressure and tension in the club itself are no less great. After all, the same goal is at stake here as there: to maintain the 2nd division!
Nevertheless, the striker is really looking forward to the game in his former living room. And hopes for a friendly welcome.
Testroet with a mischievous smile: “After all, I’m no longer an Auer …”
