All clear! Suddenly, the fight for the Polish champion went to hell. Magiera announced how it was
Our task was to win this match because we wanted to end this fantastic season with a victory – said Jacek Magiera about Śląsk Wrocław’s 2-1 win against Raków Częstochowa. His team became Polish runners-up, and in order to win the title, they had to count on the defeat of Jagiellonia Białystok. Magiera answered the question whether the delay in the match against Raków could have influenced the fate of the championship.
Śląsk Wrocław did what it had to do. He won away against Raków Częstochowa 2:1 and could only count on Warta Poznań taking points from Jagiellonia Białystok. Then Jacek Magier’s team would become the Polish champion. However, this is only part of the story, as the start of the match in Częstochowa was delayed by several minutes, and Jagiellonia was leading 3-0 against Warta until the break. So there were supposed to be great emotions in the last round, but in the end nothing came of it.
Jacek Magiera proud of being runner-up in Poland. “This is the most important”
It probably wouldn’t change the final results, but the entire last round certainly lost its drama and emotions due to the fact that the matches between Jagiellonia and Śląsk did not start at the same time. Wrocław coach Jacek Magiera also talked about it at the post-match press conference.
We have prepared a strategy for this match, but we were not prepared for the fact that there will be a downpour, storm, hail and that the match will be delayed by 40 minutes. Also, all matters related to tactics, match management, and management of what was happening in other stadiums had to be put into our pockets – Magiera did not hide. – We told ourselves that we wouldn’t look at our phones, that the players would receive information from us about what it looked like. Here, like it or not, there was no way that we would not receive information about the result in Białystok.
Did it affect the fate of the championship [ matches not starting at the same time – at. ed.]? It didn’t. Let’s not look for another day here, Magiera said.
Our task was to win this match because we wanted to end this fantastic season with a victory. In May we won four victories, which is an excellent result and we are very happy about it – added the Śląsk Wrocław coach.
This is the most important thing – said Magiera about the silver medal for being runner-up in Poland. – Of course, one can talk about dissatisfaction, that a point was missed, that something happened along the way, but he is full of appreciation for the team and what we have done this year – he emphasized, mentioning, among others, the crown of top scorer for Erik Exposito or the league’s best defense .
Śląsk Wrocław finished the season in second place in the table with 63 points. Jagiellonia Białystok had the same number, but also had a better record of direct clashes with the team from Wrocław. Although they lost 1-2 away, they won 3-1 at home. Adrian Siemieniec’s team will play in the Champions League qualifiers, and Jacek Magier’s in el. European Conference League.
Will Śląsk Wrocław advance to the Europa Conference League?
