"The upcoming season promises to present significant challenges"

Fortuna Düsseldorf are gearing up for the new season, buoyed by their successes from last year but also aware of the challenges that lie ahead. With several new additions to the team, the club is focused on integrating the new players seamlessly while maintaining their competitive edge.

Last season's performance provides a valuable benchmark for understanding success, and the team is eager to build upon it. Mr. Fink, the team's stalwart, is personally committed to supporting the new players, offering advice and assistance to help them settle in quickly.

The integration of new players is not expected to be a hurdle in terms of reception and acceptance within the team. All team members share the responsibility for the integration process, ensuring a smooth transition for the new faces.

One of the individual goals for the season is to secure Fortuna's place in the league, rather than reaching a specific number of Bundesliga games. This pragmatic approach reflects the team's focus on collective success over individual milestones.

However, the team's performance last year in Bremen was less than satisfactory, and this year's game against Bremen may be approached with caution, given the uncertainty surrounding both teams' standing. The team may not have much possession in the game, with Bremen expected to be offensive and put pressure on Fortuna early on.

The team has identified areas for improvement following a tough performance in the cup match in Villingen. They are working diligently to rectify these mistakes and have solutions ready for the game against Bremen.

Fortuna Düsseldorf strengthened their team last season with several high-profile signings. Michael Zetterer, Ritsu Dōan, Jonathan Burkardt, Amil Siljevic, Noah Fenyö, Rasmus Kristensen, Elias Baum, Aurélio Buta, and Jessic Ngankam have all joined the ranks, though the exact number of Bundesliga games these players have played so far is not specified. It takes time for new players to learn each other's strengths and weaknesses, but the team is confident that patterns will become automatic over time.

The team's efforts have not gone unnoticed, with other teams observing Fortuna's success from last season. The team expects this season to be very challenging, but they are ready to face it head-on.

Despite the challenges, there is a sense of optimism within the team. They have advanced to the next round in the cup competition, and they are determined to continue their momentum into the new season. The team is ready to take on whatever comes their way, united in their pursuit of success.
