Match report Dynamo Dresden vs. Hallescher FC 34th matchday on April 24, 2021

“We are back. And we’re up for it “

On Saturday, SG Dynamo Dresden welcomes Halleschen FC as part of the 34th match day for the East duel in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium. The kick-off takes place at 2 p.m.

While the HFC recently scored five points from five games with a win and a draw and traveled to Florence on the Elbe in thirteenth place, the hosts had to go through an extremely unfavorable preparation.

Due to the positive corona tests by Ransford-Yeboah-Königsdörffer and Pascal Sohm in the week before last and the associated quarantine, Dynamo’s third division professionals were only allowed to return to team training on Friday, one day before the home game against Halle. Before that, the protégés of head coach Markus Kauczinski could only keep fit individually.

Despite two games less than the competition in the promotion race after the English week, the SGD is in third place in the table with 59 points, still within striking distance of the direct promotion places: three points behind first place, which Hansa Rostock occupies and one point less than second-placed FC Ingolstadt, one point ahead of fourth-placed 1860 Munich. All three opponents have already played 33 games, the sports community 31.

Despite the sub-optimal preparation for the game, Coach looks back Kauczinski positive towards the Halle game: “We don’t complain about the situation, we knew from the start that it would be tight until the end and that we would have to score points until the end. Now we are back, we are in the mood and are happy that we can be back on the pitch and play. “

defender Chris Lion suggested a similar notch at the press conference at the AOK PLUS Walter Fritzsch Academy on the Friday before the game: “It is clear that the preparation in the week before the game is fundamentally different. But in the current time we have to be flexible. We’ll be a team on the pitch that has a chance to win. That is the main thing. That’s what matters.”

Against Halleschen FC, Dynamo expects an opponent who is “not yet fully secured” and “has individually good players, especially in the offensive area”, so Kauczinskiwho expects a team that “plays decent football and is always well adjusted”.

But once again we can count on the sports community. Dynamo’s 50-year-old head coach is completely convinced of his team, both athletically and personally: “We have shown that we have a team that you can identify with. We have a good character in the group. Now it’s time to go through to the end. “

Heinz Mörschel, Jonathan Meier and Leroy Kwadwo (all torn muscle fibers) as well as Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer and Pascal Sohm (both 14-day quarantine after a positive corona test) are not available to Kauczinski on Saturday.

Long-term injuries Robin Becker (rehab after cruciate ligament surgery), Marco Hartmann (rehab after knee surgery) & Patrick Weihrauch (rehab after ankle surgery) as well as Patrick Wiegers and Maximilian Großer (both rehab after knee surgery) are still absent. Captain Sebastian Mai is missing a yellow card after his fifth warning in the away game at SpVgg Unterhaching.

In addition to Magenta Sport, the game against Halleschen FC will also be broadcast live and in full on Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR).
