Mariusz Jop after #WISODR: We are disappointed with the result

Wisła's two goals weren't enough to defeat Odra Opole in the ninth round of the Betclic 1 League. Mariusz Jop summarized the match at a press conference.

"We definitely are disappointed with the result, because playing at home in front of such an audience we want to win. I think that desire and belief was evident in the team. From my perspective That's what it looked like. I think we created quite a few chances in the first and second half. half. With such a tight defense, it's not easy. Of course, it's irritating there were situations in which the opponent, practically from the seventh minute, tried to drag the game every play. But we have to be ready for it as a team. Other teams will be They definitely tried it more often. From a defensive perspective, definitely We lost goals too easily. The opponent who he was in our penalty area several times throughout the match, he scored two goals against us and that was There is definitely something we are not satisfied with," Mariusz Jop assessed the match.

Lots of mistakes, lots of confusion and even more missed opportunities. " Yes, there were a lot of them. Especially In the second half we sometimes waited too long to make a decision and pass the ball was blocked. I don't know if it's a matter of concentration. I think it's the question of wanting to speed up the game a bit and in such simple situations we acted too nervous. Of course, these individual errors in the derivation, simple losses, give time for the opponent to rest. Of course, from our team's perspective in this There were a few too many such situations in the match," he said.

The introduction of Kacper Duda after the break significantly accelerated Wisła's game. "Yes. If the opponent defends We're low, we want to play fast, with one or two touches. We don't always succeed. We must remember that in the first half the opponent has more strength. Stronger, works harder, is more aggressive, moves faster. Then it's harder to do and that's why patience is so important. We know that if the rival defends most of the time, there will be a moment like that in the second half or in second part of the second half that he will simply run out of strength and we will be able to create more chances. It is quite natural that in the first halves, teams that play like that and celebrate every throw from throw-in, every kick-out, they look for fouls to catch their breath, they do it effectively and seems quite natural to me."

You decided on only two changes - why did you decide to do this? I decided that those who are They look so good on the pitch that there is no need to change them," he replied briefly.

We didn't see Marko Bozić in the squad - what was the reason for his absence? “Injury,” he said.

Frederico Duarte's missed one-on-one opportunity will certainly be remembered. Had the player capitalized on his chance, Wisła might have secured the win. " He just didn't use this one situation, but apart from the one mentioned, he had other good moments. Let me remind you, that the corner kick after which we scored was won by Duarte who won the ball by playing heel and driving the defender over. He's a guy who definitely always gives his all everything. He has a lot of energy, he works for the team, so of course it's not always It will be so effective. It was a great opportunity to get goal. He didn't take advantage of it, but he wanted to. Sometimes it happens that the goalkeeper also saves in a very nice way."

Second match in a row without victory. Have the "demons of the past" returned? " I think it's too fast drawing such conclusions. It is obvious that we will not win every match. For What is important to me is that the team worked very hard to create opportunities, to win this match. Sometimes it happens like I said. We are disappointed with the result, because we want to win. However, we have to accept it, that we lost points today. The next match ahead of us is a chance to get another three points and that's what we'll focus on now."

Maciej Kuziemka did not finish the match on the pitch. What was the reason for this change? " Maciej suffered from cramps and It was difficult for him to continue playing. That was the reason for his replacement," he concluded.
