Super Polish Cup: Legia Warsaw – Arka Gdynia. comment

For now, the defensive play of the Polish champion does not exist in theory and in practice – the recent meetings with the league II Radomiak (0-0) and the Irish, tight Cork City (1: 0) only blacken the image of sad reality. In the previous four sparrings – mostly with lower league teams – the team of Dean Klafurić managed to score eight goals, although the rivals were among others Mazur Karczew, Górnik Łęczna and Stal Mielec

In the mid -April, coach Klafurić, previously known for leading a Croatian national team, received Legia a star from the sky – a good team, good footballers, but a great theorist but the low practice of Romeo Jozaka, who was too much for the team, as he had forgotten that football is a simple game. And sometimes it's better not to disturb than to change it by force.

Klaf, who speaks fondly of the current footballer, gives the impression of a man who does not look for a disability. Under his hand, the team won seven games, a draw drew and it was enough to save the season and win the doublet.

The temporary trainer, who was to return home on June 30, received another gift – faced with an unsuccessful attempt to recruit the Slovak Adrian Gula – he had to prepare the team for the qualification for the League Champions. The main goal is to return to the group stage. And the stairs started, because Klafurić insisted on changing the system and playing three defenders. He is a little "slave" to the players that he has at his disposal – the disproportion between the number of central defenders and midfielders, and the wingmen and side defenders is huge. The coach therefore tries to choose tactics for the players and walk on thin ice.

With such a defensive game (it 's about defending and settling after losing the ball to the entire team), Legia will not do anything. Arka Gdynia is not an offensive team – in the previous season, only once (in Kielce) was able to score three goals. In Warsaw, she used the defensive weakness of Legia without any problem. The season has barely begun, and in the capital you know what to work on.
