In a recent test match against Slavia Prague, Dynamo Dresden's central defender, Lars Buening, highlighted the key aspects that the team's defence needs to focus on for the upcoming 2nd Bundesliga season.
Buening emphasised the importance of maintaining a compact and organised defensive shape, limiting spaces between defenders to prevent opponents from easily penetrating. He also stressed the need for constant and clear communication among defenders and between defence and midfield to effectively manage marking and positional responsibilities.
Physicality was another crucial point, with Buening emphasising the importance of being robust in duels and challenges to assert dominance and discourage opponents from engaging in close battles. Good positioning, anticipation, and placement on the field to intercept passes, block shots, and close down attacking threats efficiently were also highlighted.
Buening also underlined the need for quick and effective transitioning from defence to attack, minimising risk during turnovers while exploiting counter-attacking opportunities. He further emphasised the importance of adaptability, the ability to adjust defensive tactics according to the opponent’s style of play, showing flexibility in formations and pressing intensity.
Buening acknowledged Slavia Prague's advantage in physical fitness due to their additional preparation but considered the intense nature of the match beneficial for Dynamo Dresden's preparation for the upcoming league season. He believes that these qualities will be crucial for Dynamo Dresden in a higher league.
The four-man defence, consisting of Faber, Claudio Kammerknecht, Buening, and Sascha Risch, held their own against Slavia Prague in the first 45 minutes. The form of this defence suggests they will defend in the first league match on August 3rd in Fuerth.
Lennart Grill, a new signing for Dynamo Dresden, was not mentioned in the test match, but the team's goalkeeper, Schreiber, is back in training, as stated in the Dynamo Dresden Blog.
It remains to be seen who will be the captain for Dynamo Dresden, as mentioned in the Dynamo Dresden Blog. However, with Buening's emphasis on perseverance and fighting spirit, it is clear that Dynamo Dresden is determined to make a strong showing in the 2nd Bundesliga.
In the context of Dynamo Dresden preparing for the upcoming 2nd Bundesliga season, Lars Buening notes the significance of applying these skills in sports, specifically football, when competing against various opponents in European leagues such as the Champions League: he advocates for maintaining a compact and organised defensive shape, active communication between defenders and midfield, and being robust in duels to assert dominance. Furthermore, during transitions from defence to attack, Buening encourages reducing risks while exploiting counter-attacking opportunities, and emphasises the need for adaptability to tackle different opponents' styles of play.
