Will you treat Friday's match as a kind of rematch? " This is already history. I think we've broken various statistics many times and absolutely no I'm connecting. What was three months ago, or half a year ago, is no longer relevant at this point. greater importance. We focus on our work, on preparing for this match, just like every previous one this season. We are in good shape disposal. We will want to confirm this tomorrow. Does Miedź play differently in wings of the new coach? Of course, Coach Bear introduced his own way of playing, made some adjustments and you can see that this team It functions better, it scores points, but of course it also has its weaknesses. We did some analysis and prepared as we would for any match. We've practiced several variants that we will want to implement in tomorrow's meeting," he continued.

After the next the team keeps its feet firmly on the ground after success? It must be said that these The positive reviews are well deserved. We actually had a great time. start, we have impressive victories. However, we know that this is another stage in achieving our goal. This is the path we are on and I think that we have already worked through several such situations from previous seasons, where sometimes it happened that some unnecessary looseness crept into the team. I think we care about that and the players remember that too. I don't see any symptoms that may show that we are going in the wrong direction."

Positive headache in center of defense - Mariusz Kutwa or Darijo Grujcić? " Yes, it was a sign questions. Of course, the decision has already been made. Mariusz, when he played earlier, presented is doing well. Dario also showed himself in an interesting way at a difficult moment. If he doesn't play for a long time, it is not easy to get into this position and play good meeting. Dario confirmed that he can be counted on and I'm happy, that we have such a player at our disposal," he said.

Can Joseph Colley count on appearances in subsequent matches? " Middle position defender, just like a goalkeeper, is quite specific. If there is no such necessary, these changes are not usually made. This is not a winger position. or a striker, that in the 60th minute we will let the player catch some minutes. Joseph is training very well, he has to be patient. The competition is fierce. in this position. And not only in this position. His work is not in vain, because through his good attitude during training forces his teammates from the opposing team, how they are some internal games, plus they have to train at a good level. The fact that Just because someone isn't playing doesn't mean they're not helping the team. I can say that about everyone. players who play less. The level of training is very high and those players pressuring their teammates in position make them better prepared for the match," he replied

Yesterday was 26 years ago Mariusz Jop's debut in Wisła Kraków and a spectacular goal in the style of Angel Rodado. " It was a long time ago, so It was definitely a great experience for me to finally get on the pitch. interesting facts, my performance and my trip to Olsztyn were in question. I had viral conjunctivitis at the time and I remember that the day before that match, Together with coach Smuda, I visited his partner, who is an ophthalmologist. I remember that she prescribed me some antibiotics to heal my eyes, which allowed me to even go and take part in this meeting. As for Angel, I said, so he doesn't have to worry. I don't intend to resume my career, so he can rest assured," the White Star coach summed up the return to the past.

Where is the "ceiling" team skills and form? "I think we're in very good form as a team and individually as players. It's difficult say if there's anything else we can improve. Score more goals, in some way elements, be more effective? You can always slightly adjust something. I I think it's crucial to maintain this disposition. Let's not be greedy that We want even more. That's how I approach it," he analyzed.

Rivals are trying stop the Vistula, but they fail. " Of course, teams have always has his own idea on how to play a match with us and be effective. However, our disposition determines whether they are able to do it or not. This is probably the most important point. I think that each match is a separate history and we'll see how this meeting in Legnica goes. We are prepared for the opponent, we improve our game elements."

A few days ago, Angel Rodado's brother, Adrian Rodado, signed a contract with Wisła II Kraków. Can we hope to see the young Spaniard in the first team someday? " For now, Brother Angela is considered for the second team. However, I do not rule out such a possibility situation. If he were a player who stood out in the second team, I don't see There's no problem for him to train with us and show himself against a stronger group," concluded Mariusz Jop.
