Mariusz Jop before #WISBYT: We know our strengths, we are playing at home and for three points

The new week begins with a home match against Polonia Bytom, which Wisła will face on Monday evening at 7:00 PM. Before the match, Mariusz Jop met with journalists.

Due to health reasons, Marko Bozcić, Kacper Skrobański, Piotr Starzyński, Bartosz Talar, Alan Uryga, Rafał Mikulec and Bartosz Jaroch will not play in Monday's match.

You have three matches in 7 days. Will this affect the preparations? Certainly, in terms of the process itself. training, we have to look at it holistically. Two days off between matches is not there are many. However, the most important thing is always the first, closest match and We are preparing ourselves one hundred percent and focusing on it. Of course, depending on the situation on the pitch and the result. Somewhere in the back of my mind, of course. there's another match with Wieczysta. However, the first one is always the closest meeting and playing for the full pot.

Are you planning any rotations in the starting lineup? As for the next match, it will probably be rotations. are not necessary. The cup match featured players who usually do not they played from the beginning, so most of them had a similar microcycle to the one we have usually, i.e. 6-7 days.

What kind of rival is Polonia Bytom? Polonia is definitely a very good organization. games, high intensity. This is also a team that can function in high pressing, in medium and low defense. He can also defend for long periods. in a 5-4-1 structure and wait for the opponent, wait for set pieces. So I think that the most important thing that can be said about them is good organization games and also a very good transition phase. Especially from defense to attack. In situations when they are a little lower, they can quickly counterattack. This is dangerous a team that has been in great form lately. In the last five matches, 4 wins and 1 draw, from what I remember, a very high result with Miedź Legnica. A rival we respect, but we know our strengths, we are playing at home and we're playing for three points. We're ready for it.

Goalkeeping - who will be between the goalposts this time? The goalkeepers haven't decided who yet. will defend, so I wouldn't like to say it at a press conference.

Is the judging panel controversial among you? I think all statistics are there to break them and what was in the past doesn't matter much to me. Of course We will make sure that the players focus on their tasks. We know that breaking the rhythm and taking on the role of a judge, or dealing with things that are beyond our control is not beneficial for the team. We will focus on our tasks - this is something whatever we want to do. Regardless of how the judge rules. However, before the match, let's not assume it will be something negative. Everyone is He is a human being and has the right to make mistakes. I hope that the judge will be he led this competition very well.

What can you expect from Polonia's game? Defense, Or will they opt for open football? This is always the choice of the visiting team's coach. We'll see if Polonia will have enough courage to play openly or not. will want to stand low right away. I think there will be different phases. They will stand low, they will also try to jump out from time to time in high defense, or from average to push us out so that we have a little more trouble in building this attack. However, this is a matter of the coach's decision, a matter of philosophy, courage. We'll see how it goes in the next match, because I don't want to talk about it right now. next.

You predicted at the beginning of the season that the team from Bytom will be a threat. Will Polonia be the dark horse of the competition? Looking at the results they achieve, I think this team deserves that title. Of course, the league is still long, but they play very solidly, they are a demanding rival for everyone. I think that I wasn't far wrong when I said that this is a band that will definitely will be involved in the fight for the top places.

Marko Bozić – how is his return to field? Marko is 18-19 days old from the injury, so In case of muscle injuries, this time is required a little longer for full recovery rehabilitation. However, everything is carried out in accordance with the procedures, in accordance with plan, so I think we should see him on the pitch soon. Let's remember also about the fact that first of all you need to heal the injury and secondly you need to get back to full training with the team, so it will definitely take some time. I think we can assume that after the international break he will be at full disposal.
