Amoako intends to establish a certain atmosphere for Dynamo, and for this, he selected Dresden as the location.
In a move that initially met with some skepticism, 20-year-old defensive midfielder Kofi Amoako has chosen to join Dynamo Dresden, drawn by the club's strong faith in his abilities and their vision of him as a central figure in their midfield plans.
Having impressed on loan at VfL Osnabruck in Germany’s third tier, Amoako's quality as a defensive midfielder, offering balance and structure, was already evident. With Dynamo Dresden eager to build momentum following their recent promotion, the club saw Amoako's youth combined with his Bundesliga experience as a pivotal factor in their 2. Bundesliga campaign.
Amoako, a native of Hannover, is now eager to play in front of the passionate and demanding Dynamo fans, who are known for creating a motivating atmosphere during matches. His comfort with pressure and ability to thrive under challenging situations bode well for his performance on the pitch.
The club's high hopes for Amoako and the positive environment created by the supporters could enhance his development, as suggested by Jannik Müller, a former Dynamo player who told Amoako that if he does everything right, he would be properly celebrated.
Off the pitch, Amoako is also looking forward to exploring his musical interests in Dresden. A fan of songs from Ghana and emotional German songs, he is eager to learn piano and make music of his own.
Despite initial concerns about the political climate in the East, Amoako has embraced the challenge, acknowledging that there are people who vote for the AfD, but expressing a focus on his goal with Dynamo Dresden: to win and help the team stay in the league.
The rush for Dynamo Dresden season tickets is a testament to the excitement surrounding Amoako's arrival, as he teams up with a new signing to create a pairing that the club has never had before. As training camp continues, the players, including Amoako, are pushing through the scorching heat to prepare for the upcoming season.
In an interview, Amoako compared the support from Dynamo Dresden fans to a performance-enhancing drug for players, acknowledging the energising effect it has on him. As he prepares to take the field, the expectations are high for this talented young midfielder.
