At this meeting eagerly awaited by the whole football Poland. Tickets for this match does not have a long time. Entry to the neutral sectors were sold in six weeks, and the pool assigned to the two finalists (after 10 thousand. Tickets) in less than a week. On Saturday, the stands of the National Stadium will sit approx. 48 thousand. fans. At stake is the rivalry Polish Cup. Who will win it? If Legia, it manages to a 17th time in history. If Lech, this will be his sixth triumph in the competition.
– I’m glad Legia and Lech game because it’s the two best teams in the country, with the best fans. It will be a great event for the whole of Polish football – said at yesterday’s press conference Bartosz Bereszyński excited. Excited he was also the coach of Lech. – I love this atmosphere, emotions, envelope. For the first time the final is played by the two best teams in Poland. Even in such did not take part – added Maciej Skorża, who throughout his career reached for PP three times (twice with Legia, once with Groclin Grodzisk Wielkopolski).
The road Legion to Saturday’s final was not too easy. It can be compared to driving on a bumpy road changes and the motorway. First legionaries in 1/16 finals easily eliminated Miedz Legnica (4: 0). Later, in two consecutive rounds, tortured, however, with Pursuit (overtime) and Silesia (extra time and penalties). Lech was easier, because apart from Wisla Krakow (win 2: 0) and Jagiellonia Bialystok (4: 2 after extra time) competed with drugoligowcami – Znicz Pruszkow (5: 1 and 1: 0) and the Blue Stargard Szczecin. However, little is lacking, and easier route to fell. In the first match of the Blue lost 1: 3, in the second for most of the game played with a predominance of one player, but to make up for the losses he needed extra time.
– The rivalry with the Blue is history. At the moment, we forget about it already. On Saturday will be a tough game and tough fight – said on Friday Skorża. Legia coach at a press conference in the hall at the National Stadium appeared as the first, an hour before the coach of Lech. – I suppose that it will be an open game, but there’s no over-analyze it now. I’ll just say that he has no favorite. We certainly do not feel it. But it does not change the fact that we are determined to win tomorrow – said Berg.
First place in the league table, but also better staffing situation suggests that the favorite of this meeting is, however, Legia. Lech at the moment has bigger problems. The biggest is the lack of Gergo Lovrencsics, which in the last match with Podbeskidzie (2: 0) suffered a knee injury and probably will not play until the end of the season. The team Berga, all the key players are healthy. On Saturday, after three weeks of disqualification to the composition of Ondrej Duda also return.
Back BVI, which in the last three league games sidelined for cards, raises questions about the setting of the Legion in the attack. In the absence of bagpipes in the role of attacking midfielder Guilherme Berg saw. Brazilian – in games against Zawisza, Movement and Pursuit – was doing well enough that it is hard to imagine that the final with Lech began on the bench. It is possible, however, that Guilherme will play in attack with Duda. Legia coach of the year, when he can, set a team without a classic striker. Such a maneuver in the event of Duda and Guilherme however, would be risky so much that Wednesday’s match against Pursuit, even once in training were not checked against the attack together.
Orlando Sa or Marek Saganowski? – They inquired Berg journalists yesterday. – And can play either – said the Norwegian. – If I said anything about the composition on the day before the meeting, it would be unprofessional. Let’s wait until Saturday – he added.
The Saturday clash Legia and Lech will be the first of the two, which both teams will play with each other during the week. For seven days, also in Warsaw, but at Łazienkowska, both teams face off in the 31st round league. After the Saturday one will have to tone down the euphoria, while others pick up after a defeat. – Whoever wins will have before the league encounter psychological advantage – Skorża said.
