Football – Dresden – Schuster before relegation game: “are in good spirits” – sport

Kaiserslautern (dpa / lrs) – Dirk Schuster, new coach of the third division soccer team 1. FC Kaiserslautern, radiated relaxation and optimism before his debut in the first leg of the relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga on Friday (8.30 p.m. / Sky / Sat1) against Dynamo Dresden . “The first units were a little wild because every player wanted to show themselves, but we found a team that is willing and ready to perform,” said Schuster on Wednesday. “I have the impression that everyone wants to put their own piece of the puzzle in order to achieve our common goal.”

The 54-year-old, who replaced Marco Antwerpen as FCK coach, has been working with his new team for a week now. “We won’t change that much. The team felt comfortable in the last system they played, even if they lost the last three games,” said Schuster. You now have two bonus games where you can only win. “This week we tried to bring into the team that third place is a success. As a third division team, we are the underdog,” he emphasized. “Dynamo Dresden has something to lose, but they are also a good team in terms of quality.”

In the Fritz Walter Stadium, which was completely sold out with 46,895 spectators, the Palatinate want to take the first step towards promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga on Friday evening. “To put it in German, we’re really excited to lay a good foundation with the spectators behind us,” said the new coach. “We are in good spirits that we are competitive and can offer the people of Dresden a hot dance.” After the first leg you still want to have all the trumps in your hand.

With the exception of Lucas Röser, who is back in training after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture last summer, the entire squad is available to Schuster.
