After a 0:3 Opening Defeat at 1. FC Nürnberg, Second-division Football Club Dynamo Dresden Is Seeking Redemption.

FC Nürnberg, second-division football club Dynamo Dresden is seeking redemption. "There must and will be a reaction, coach Thomas Stamm announced ahead of the first home game on Sunday (1:30 p.m./Sky) against Darmstadt 98. In this context, he pointed out that the players, as well as the coaching team, had very self-critically reviewed the Nürnberg match. Stamm specifically addressed the presence and alertness on opposing set pieces.

"We conceded five of the total seven goals in the preparation and in Nürnberg from set pieces. We have worked on that again, Stamm said, also with a view to the Darmstadt encounter. "A lot of force is coming at us, said the coach, highlighting the enormous height and physicality of some 98 players.

They must not be allowed into spaces where it becomes dangerous. Everything must be done to ensure there are few corner kicks, Stamm demanded. Free kicks near the goal should also be largely avoided.

"It's about how you fight duels, how many set-piece situations you allow, said Stamm. If you have to defend what feels like 800 corners, the probability of conceding goals as a result is high. © dpa-infocom, dpa:260814-930-528190/1.
