Mariusz Jop after #WISŚLĄ: I am very happy that we bring joy to the fans

This is Mariusz Jop's team's sixth league victory! This time, Wisła left no doubt, convincingly defeating Śląsk Wrocław in the highlight of the round. Mariusz Jop summarized the match at a press conference.

"Congratulations as usual the team a great match, maintaining high form, high effectiveness. How we are looked at from the side, it all looks nice, it all looks straight. I know that behind this lies the hard work of the entire team. No only physically, but also mentally. Maintaining concentration is not is easy. I wanted to congratulate the guys, because it was a really great match today. A match in front of a packed stadium and fantastic fans. I'm very happy that we're giving joy for yourself and the people who come to the stadium. Big congratulations once again" - he began.

Mariusz's absence Julius Ertlthaler's shortcomings and problems when leaving the pitch – that's something serious? "Mariusz in a meeting with Znicz sprained his ankle slightly. This situation occurred in the second half. In this where the sprinkler is located. He twisted his ankle on the uneven ground and that is the effect of his absence. The situation with Mariusz is looking relatively good. I think that he should be back in training as usual tomorrow. We didn't want to take any chances. risk of putting him in when he wasn't 100% prepared. As for Julius, it has a slight overload problem. I don't think it will be enough. serious enough to exclude him from the next meeting" - he replied.

Big difference between teams. Is this a surprise? "Silesia has many very good players. They are scoring and are high in the table. This is a team that, as I said, at the pre-match press conference, he will definitely be in contention when it comes to the fight for promotion. We must say that we are in good shape and we did not allow today, the opponent has a lot to lose. In fact, they didn't create any chances our goal. We functioned well as a group in defense. We were close to each other, we were aggressive, we pushed our opponent high, we were effective with the ball when it comes to our attacks. I mainly look at myself, as I've said it many times. The most important thing is how we function, how We are fulfilling our tasks. If we continue in this form, I think we will able to win big with anyone" - he said.

Is Marc Carbó a silent hero on the pitch? "I think today's match March was the best of those held this season. He returned to good form pre-injury form. He wasn't the only one who was very good in defense today. Let me remind you second goal. Great interception by Kacper Duda, when we pushed the opponent and he took the ball in in the middle. He later provided an assist to Rodado. A lot of hard work not only Carbo and Duda, but the entire team. Positions number 9 and 10 are Rodado and Ertlthaler They also work very hard in defense. Everyone as a team plays well We're functioning when it comes to this defensive game. We're close to the block ourselves, everyone knows what to do and does it well. This is also the result of many of our offensive situations later. Controlling the match is not only about possession of the ball, but also good defensive positioning" - he assessed.

With each match we can observe Jakub Krzyżanowski and his good plays. "Krzyżanowski was called up to the U-20 National Team. I congratulate him on this. It's certainly a great thing and It's a huge honor to be on the National Team. During this absence [loan to Italy – editor's note] he certainly improved his individual defensive actions. He's better at defending, he's toughened up, he's better at contact, he's more aggressive. It certainly wasn't a waste of time for him. He's in top form, just like the rest of the players. I'm happy and congratulations. I think that in terms of the first representation, we still have to look at it calmly. It's still a very long time road. For now, he needs to be in stable form and continue to confirm this in the next matches" - he said.

The first call-ups have already come in. So what about the scheduled match against Wieczysta Kraków? "Let us remember that there were no given U-21 call-ups. Coach Brzęczek hasn't announced them yet because he's waiting for the call-ups. first team. These are interconnected. We assume that the next ones to the U-21 two players can get a contract. Without four players from the first team, plus Wieczysta will not have a goalkeeper, I think both teams will be requested that this meeting be moved."

Marko Božić and Ervin Omić Have they joined the team yet? "All those players who they are either out of the squad or injured, they come to the matches, they are with the team. It was the same with both Omic and Bozic. They were at the match, watching teammates. I think they have a positive impression of today."

Ardit Nikaj is showing his optimal form? "He's working well, like the others The players are all trying hard, wanting to be as close to the starting lineup as possible. It's the same with Nikaj. Congratulations to him, because it's nice to score a goal in debut. Of course, this does not guarantee an appearance in the next meeting, because there is a lot of competition. As I said, it will be here in a moment Božić, which is prepared, Skip it too. He just needs a little more time, but it will also be taken into account in a moment, so this internal competition is big. This also affects the quality of all the players," the coach continued.

What has changed in preparation of the team that we see such a changed Wisła? We work very similarly like last season. We've added a few things to the training. individual. We pay a lot of attention to positional training. First and foremost, we play faster. This is something that has changed for the better. In offensive actions We try to limit the number of contacts. This gives us more comfort if it's about the space in the penalty area, because then the opponents have less time to do it, to "catch us" in this space. I think the team has such a good flow now. I feel this power and I feel that when we create a situation, every time We're very dangerous. Either a goal is scored, or something usually comes of it: a throw-in corner, or a deflected ball, which we also collect. As for the most important part questions - we have not introduced radical changes to training."

Wiktor Biedrzycki scored another goal. In addition to the goal, the player once again showed great form in defense for Wisła Kraków. " I think this failed the beginning of the last season was due to the fact that Wiktor simply came to us unprepared. He was thrown into the deep end. We know what the situation was, as there were many meetings. Later, a few errors appeared and it was actually pinned he was labeled a player who couldn't cope here. However, he worked normally one, two preparatory periods, he is healthy, functions well, stood out in friendly matches. Wiktor earned the right to play in the starting eleven and He confirms this on the pitch. He scored his second goal and is functioning well defensively, He's very useful on the ball in the air. That's his strong point. Yes Like Wiktor, the entire team is in high condition."

Where is the "ceiling" for Angela Rodado? "Angel proves another season, that he's a great player. I wish him to play even better. I think that the number of goals he has after these six rounds, after six matches The number of games we have played is impressive and let's keep it up. I think Angel is beyond that he scores goals, works very hard for the team. He receives many balls on slide tackles, he is constantly present in defensive play. Sometimes it happens that, as If you want to do a lot for the team, it will later come back individually in numbers players. I emphasize this all the time that when it comes to defense, the whole team is very He works hard. "Roda" isn't selfish either. When he needs to pass, he looks for a pass. He is not the kind of person who will see his partner in a better light. situations, he will want to score goals at all costs. He can score goals – there's no doubt about it. It has a great ending. I'm very happy that today added three goals to the scoring charts."

Hunger for goals. "This is our character and one of our more important team values, to not be satiated, to constantly be hungry to score more goals. We know that this way of thinking with leading one or two to zero to go back and wait, it often goes wrong ends. We want to maintain high intensity of the game at all times. Besides, it's not was visible not only in this match, but also in previous ones. A team that is setting itself up on defense, he definitely doesn't shoot as much as we do" - concluded the trainer.
