Lars Lukas Mai: “As always, we talk on the phone every day, we are always in contact. But we rarely talk about football.”

Lars Lukas Mai: “It’s going to be difficult. But I can hardly wait. I’m looking forward to the moment when I get to the stadium, step onto the lawn, see the spectators. I’ll enjoy that. But when the referee whistles, I’ll do everything for Werder. I don’t care if my brother’s favorite club is facing me. Last year I played with Darmstadt in the cup here, there without fans, now with.

Lars Lukas Mai: “Difficult question. Father is a Dynamo fan, but said that the better should win. Unfortunately, our mom died last year. She will watch from above and be happy that we both play.”
TAG24: What does Dresden mean to you?
Lars Lukas Mai: “At 14 I went alone to Munich, then alone to Darmstadt and now in Bremen. Dresden is my lifeline, my home and then my family is who stayed here. Here I can switch off.”
TAG24: You are 21. Could you imagine playing at Dynamo yourself?
Lars Lukas Mai: “That would be a dream, preferably with Sebastian. I don’t believe that this will work.”
