Although new stars such as Ozil have both potential and strength have also been introduced, in general, the players transferred by the Dresden Dynamo team before the season are mainly used to strengthen the depth of the bench, and those who can quickly become the main players are not yet visible, and the strength of the few young men promoted by Magath from the echelon is even worse, and it is difficult to play the main team in the second team.

Add to that the fact that several Chinese internationals missed crucial pre-season training in the Asian Cup, and the team had a bad performance in the Carabao Cup at the beginning of the season, with the second round (Dynamo Dresden playing as cup winners, so for them, it was actually the first round. Not to mention the pressure of fighting on three fronts, even the local media in Dresden are not optimistic about the team's prospects for the new season, but Magath is full of confidence in the team's performance in the new season, because he sees the huge effort of his disciples in the pre-season training camp

In fact, the first game of the League Cup was eliminated, in addition to the absence of several main players such as Gao Jun, it is precisely because of the preparation period that the players are obviously heavy, and it is difficult to quickly enter the game, but the league is a long-distance race, and when the league enters the middle of the game, Magat's famous devil training will show a positive effect

The biggest improvement this summer has been none other than Dynamo Dresden's right-back Dexter. Langen, with the help of Magath, after his own hard work, finally succeeded in breaking through the physical bottleneck, although there is still a gap with Rong Hao, Yang Hao, Nagatomo Youdu and other running immortals, but there is no problem in playing the whole game under the normal intensity of the Bundesliga game. And because Royce's injuries have not fully healed. So at the beginning of the season he will be more on the wing, and the physical exertion will not be as great as that of a full-back, so there is no problem.

Langen's biggest beneficiary as a winger was Japanese full-back Yuto Nagatomo, but he has also made great strides this summer, becoming stronger and more fit than before. Even Rong Hao and Yang Hao, who have never been able to run, no longer have any advantage compared to him, considering that Nagatomo Youdu was only an amateur player a year and a half ago, his progress is really amazing. And Nagatomo Yuto's technical and tactical level has also improved greatly, although it still does not meet Magath's requirements, but can barely rely on active running and scrambling to make up for it, so even if Reus does not recover for a long time, Magath does not have to worry too much about the right-back position.

The rapid progress of Yuto Nagatomo has put a lot of pressure on Rong Hao, who has returned to the team, although his current strength is still stronger. But the gap between the two has narrowed to less than a notch, which makes it difficult for Rong Hao, who has always had a sense of superiority before the Asian Cup, to accept. Under such pressure, Rong Hao decided that even if there was a training camp for the national team or the national Olympic team during the winter preparation period of this season, he would not participate

In fact, not only Rong Hao, but most of the Chinese players, including Gao Jun, decided not to participate in the national team training camp in winter and stayed in the team to participate in winter training. Only Hao Junmin is an exception, because Magat's winter training has the most obvious effect for the first time. Being able to explore the potential of the body in a large distance, but after that, you can basically only simply reserve physical energy, which is very helpful for the old players to prolong the playing years, but for the young players, the significance is relatively limited.

Although Magat's winter training results are good, the arduous journey is also unparalleled. His summer training is already less intense than winter training, which makes players who have experienced it feel uneasy when they think about it. It is also because of the huge consumption of physical reserves before the season that the players who participated in the summer training of the Dresden Dynamo team were not in good condition at the beginning of the season, but the Chinese internationals who did not participate because they played official matches such as the Asian Cup, and the game schedule after returning to the team was obviously much better

Since the League Cup started too early. The match time overlapped with the 2007 Asian Cup, so the first game of the 2007/2008 season for several Chinese internationals was the German Cup against regional league side St. Pauli. Although the opponent is not strong, everyone does not dare to be careless, because the Sao Paulo team had miraculously reached the semi-finals of the German Cup as a regional league team last season, destroying many Bundesliga teams along the way, until they met the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich and finally fell, creating the biggest miracle in the German Cup that season

However, the current Sao Paulo team is no longer that dark horse, and the gap between the two teams is also quite large, even if the players of the Dresden Dynamo team are either in poor form or physically tired, they still extinguished a suspense in the first half. Thanks to Gao's hat-trick, the Dresden Dynamo team took a 3-0 lead in the first half, and finally they easily beat their opponents with a score of 4-0 to advance to the next round of the German Cup

After the game, Gao Jun was once again warmly praised by the media, but he knew that the main reason was that the opponent was too weak, and his state in the game was actually not very good. Although several Chinese internationals who played the Asian Cup were not as heavy as the other players in the team because of their physical training too hard, and their competitive condition was obviously better, the third and fourth finals of the Asian Cup were only played on July 28, and then because the first German Cup game was not very important and the opponent was weak, Magath gave everyone time to return to China and reunite with their relatives with a very human touch, so Gao Jun and others actually did not return to Dresden by plane until two days before the game, and their physical condition can be imagined.

In fact, Gao Jun only ran less than 3,000 meters in the first half of this game, which is completely a walking style, but he can also score three goals in this way, even Magath is a little surprised, although he already knows Gao Jun's strength, otherwise he would not have the confidence that he did not introduce any famous players worth more than 3.2 million euros before this season, but this magical Chinese boy still surprised and surprised him again, "I really want to know, how much potential you still have?" ”

The day after the opening match of the first German Cup by the first team of the Dynamo Dresden, the boys of the second team also played their first match in the northern regional league of the season. In the game, Magath's strategy of focusing on thickening the team's bench paid off, and the greatly strengthened Dynamo Dresden II team got off to a good start to the new season with 2:0, even better than the big brothers of the first team.

The players of the second team worked so hard in the game, not only in the hope of impressing Magath with their excellent performance and being called up to the first team, but also because of the special circumstances of this season, the president of the club, Janssen. Rudy has dramatically increased the bonus for the second team's win in the regional league, and the team's benches are also full of fighting spirits.

In addition, we have to start from last year, on September 8, 2006, the German Football Association made a heavy decision to organize the third league, that is, to establish a new league between the German football second division and the German football regional league, that is, the later "German football third league".

After repeated consultations from the German Football Association, the plan for the "German Football League C" was finalized: at the end of the 2007/08 season, the top two teams in the two divisions of the German Football Regional League (Northern and Southern) and who are not Bundesliga or Bundesliga II teams will be directly promoted to the German Football Second Division; The 3rd to 10th teams (16 teams in total) plus the 4 teams relegated from the Bundesliga 2 make up the 20-team German Football League C, and the specific plan is as follows: in the first season of 2008/09, the top 10 teams in the two divisions of the regional league, with the best two teams in each region coming from the second team of the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, and a maximum of 4 teams can join the third division. If only 4 or fewer teams are in the top 10 of the two divisions, all teams can join the third division regardless of the region. If there are more than 4 teams in the top 10 of the two divisions and less than two teams in one division, the 4 second teams of the third division will be divided between the second team of the latter (if any) and the second team with the best result of the former. Only if the score, goal difference, number of goals, match results and away goals are exactly the same, the play-offs will be used to determine the promotion places. After the first season, all second teams can enjoy the same promotion rights as other teams, but in exchange for not participating in the German Football Association Cup (DFB-Pokal).

Although the second team of Dynamo Dresden cannot be promoted directly to the Bundesliga because of the regulations, well, with their strength, it is difficult to get the top two in the regional league, but it is also very good to be able to enter the third division, at least it is much better than staying in the regional league for an extra year, and then rushing to the first level and wasting a year.

But for the second team, a better result is needed to get into the third division than the first team of those regional league clubs, so it's no wonder that Janssen is no wonder. Rudy will use the most effective money incentive trick. Although the second team's games will not have much box office, it is very meaningful for the club's healthy development to have a higher level of platform, which will not only help the development of young players in the team, but also increase the attractiveness of Dynamo Dresden to those promising stars

However, while Dynamo Dresden got off to a good start to the season with their German Cup 1 and Regional League 2 opening-ups, the real highlight was always the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup (to be continued......
