The ex-Bayern professional was immediately the center of attention 120 seconds later. He got the ball 20 meters from the goal, turned and sent Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer (20) on his way with a great pass.
That would have been a perfect debut, but Daniel Heuer Fernandes (29) made a strong save on “Ransi’s” shot. It was not obvious that 20-year-old Batista Meier has only been with the team for ten days.
“We got in very well. The lads did well,” he said after the game about the strong, energetic start that he followed from the bench.
“It was very intense, but it was definitely a lot of fun,” he said after the 90 minutes. “It was very good to take a point here. I’m very happy about that. The whole team fought. We gave our all until the end, we’ll take the point. We’re looking forward now and we’re going to continue like this,” he announced .
He can do that next Sunday when the Dynamos make a guest appearance at Hannover 96. With the performance from yesterday, Friday, he knocks loudly to be in the starting XI. With his technique and his feeling for the ball, he definitely has what it takes. He was also well received by his new teammates, as he says himself. “Everything was great. It fits perfectly. I felt really comfortable right away.” You could see that straight away.
