Dynamo Alumni Shine in Germany's National Team
Stefan Kutschke (35) has previously played alongside a couple ofStandout players at Dynamo. Now, those two are even representing Germany!
Talented midfielder Robert Andrich (29, Leverkusen) and skilled goalkeeper Janis Blaswich (32, RB Leipzig) have been selected to join the German national squad for the upcoming matches against Turkey on Saturday and Austria the following Tuesday.
In the 2015/16 season, the duo, along with Kutschke, brought their A-game in the third division and eventually helped Dynamo climb to the 2nd division.
When asked about their accomplishments, Kutschke, the current SGD captain, expressed his joy, stating, "I've already sent them congratulatory messages. I am extremely thrilled for both of them."
Kutschke fondly recalls their time together, acknowledging Blaswich's skill and Neuhaus's praise of Andrich. "Janis was quite the force in goal back then. Our coach, Uwe Neuhaus, voiced his opinion that Robert had immense talent — unfortunately, he wasn't quite ready mentally yet. Football and life didn't completely sync up yet."
Fast-forward seven years, and the scene has evolved significantly.
"Andrich Got It Right"
"Andrich has figured it out now," shared Kutschke. "I tip my hat to him. Proving himself in the national team now is no small feat."
