by time news

BerlinSchalke 04 desperately in the “heavyweight fight” at Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen is still looking for form, and promoted Dynamo Dresden is back impressively: Thanks to the radiance of the traditional clubs, the second division opener thrilled thousands of football fans who, after months of deprivation in the stadiums flowed. The first few games already gave a foretaste of how competitive the new season could be.

Werder Bremen didn’t experience it that bad

This was first experienced by the promotion favorite from Gelsenkirchen, who had already made a false start on Friday with the 1: 3 (1: 0) at the opening against HSV. You have to understand that “the second division will be tough,” said Schalke veteran Gerald Asamoah, coordinator of the licensed players department at S04, on Sat.1. The 19,770 fans in the Veltins-Arena were served, their team is under immediate pressure.

The second promotion candidate Werder Bremen didn’t get that bad on Saturday, but the arduous 1: 1 (0: 0) against Hanover certainly did not tear the 14,000 spectators in the Weserstadion out of their seats. The hosts did not deserve more than a draw, after the 1-1 equalization by Marvin Ducksch (55th), the Lower Saxony were closer to victory. Bremen’s trainer Markus Anfang therefore campaigned for realism after the game. “It’s just the second division. Anyone can beat anyone. “

Different faces of the Eastern teams

In the east, Dynamo Dresden and Hansa Rostock returned to the House of Commons with varying degrees of success. Dresden defeated FC Ingolstadt 3-0 (1-0) in the promoted duel, Rostock lost in the first second division game in 3366 days to Karlsruher SC in front of 14,500 fans in the Ostseestadion with 1: 3 (0: 2).

Dresden coach Alexander Schmidt was very satisfied afterwards. “With the spectators behind us, it was a great day for us today,” said Schmidt after the success in front of 7,102 visitors: “Nonetheless, of course, we know how to classify the whole thing.”

Rostock had meanwhile started offensively against KSC, but got out of step after setbacks. First the hit by John Verhoek (16th) was revoked after studying the video images, then Christoph Kobald (42nd) and Philipp Hofmann (44th) made the decision in Karlsruhe.
