The Polish teams ran into problems in the third round of email. for European competition. Only half of them have won their matches, and then minimally, so their fate will be in the balance until the end. Zbigniew Boniek commented on the attitude of the Ekstraklasa teams that did not bite their tongues.
The PKO BP Ekstraklasa teams have performed very well in European competition so far. The teams have won the most matches, resulting in promotion in the UEFA rankings to 21st place. Unfortunately, the third round of qualifying came and the ladder began. Only Rakov Częstochowa has won his matches, which already has a definite entry into the group stage of the Europa Conference League 2:1 with Aris in el. to the Champions League and Lech Poznan (2:1 with Spartak Trnava), wanting to repeat the success of last season when they reached the quarterfinals of the LKE.
Zbigniew Boniek: “Legia” disappointed me the most
The biggest setbacks were Legia Warszawa, who lost 1-2 to Austria Wien at home, and Pogon-Szczecin, who received a good football lesson 0-5 from KAA Gent. Zbigniew Boniek, who was sharply critical of the Polish teams, commented on these meetings in Polsat Sport: “In general, I am very disappointed with the attitude of Legia,” he admitted.
The Legion has indeed failed. She played carelessly and badly. It seems to me that he is not at all in a losing position, he can make up for this loss. All she needs is a 1-0 victory in Vienna, which means extra time. When she calmly analyzes, she needs to rethink her defensive play,” he said.
Zbigniew Boniek is afraid of the black script
The former president of PZPN became disillusioned not only with Legia, but also with other teams, even with the winners. “What struck me the most was how easy it was to concede goals. A 0:5 defeat from Pogonya is generally unacceptable. Our players are the same as our rivals, they are in no way inferior to them. Rivals do not have big stars.
Zbigniew Boniek also admitted that he was afraid that a black scenario with one team in European competition could come true. - It’s a pity that this turn of events, because I think that the draw of the Polish teams was excellent, - he admitted.
- One could even dream that all of them will reach the fourth qualifying round. Now everything has become more complicated. And it seems to me that in addition to Rakov, who is already confident in the performances at the group stage, no one knows what competitions, other teams should sweat terribly, - he concluded.
