Ekstraklasa – results, scorers, fixtures, table
It already is clear – Cracovia will spend the winter on the podium. Although pre-season very few talked about it out loud, charges Jacek Zielinski at the moment are one of the biggest favorites for the Polish championship.
– The goal is top eight, but also established a high bonus for qualifying for the European Cup. This goal is perhaps the first time in this way put. It seems to us that we have a team that can fight – said in an interview with Interia before the season prof. Janusz Filipiak, the owner of Cracovia.
Now the club president could change “seems to us” to “we”. Because the band of the street. Puddle game at the moment the most attractive ball in the league, and the team has character, which can be seen on almost every action.
On Saturday against Jagiellonia Bialystok – the team that represented Poland in European competition – Cracovia in the first half looked as a team from another planet. The organization of the game, respect for the ball, accurate passing and immediate pressing make it to the team of Jacek Zielinski looks pleasantly and with interest. And all indications are that the current results are not the peak of the possibility of the coach, the president and the same players.
In Bialystok Cracovia dominated almost by 60 minutes. Long maintained possession, posed a dangerous situation, but rivals a few times infiltrated into the box. Keeping guests gave Erik Jendriszek, which is a huge confusion podbramkowym preserved najprzytomniej and scored the eighth goal of the season.
Before the break, however, could be 1-1, but made a brilliant intervention of Grzegorz Sandomierski, who parried the shot on the fly plays Przemysław Frankowski.
Besides defensive is currently the weakest of Krakow. When shortly after the break Piotr Polczak collided with Sandomierski him off the pitch, he showed itself the biggest weakness of the team from the southern Polish. Bartosz Rymaniak is not a player of similar class and since then the visitors defense presented much worse. If the authorities are serious about club’s future, it must consider the future especially in the rear formations.
And a moment later Rymaniak striking for the first time. Rather than interrupt the action of Jagiellonia, then he ran next to Peter Grzelczak in his own penalty area, and in the decisive phase … he fell. Grzelczak dograł to Frankowski, and he scored the 1-1.
Then again showed Sandomierski, who barely defended his shot Mackiewicz, but when hit Grzelczak in 83 minutes, had nothing to say. The home striker tried on his left leg and crashed to the edge of the penalty area and from Bialystok fans burst into euphoria.
Zielinski tried to make a difference and the pitch sent, among others, Bartosz cabbage, Polish representative. Cracovia pressed and … embraced the opportunity. After a corner into the net hit Deniss reliable Rakels and it was 2-2! This is the ninth goal in the seventh Latvian next match. Anyway, have them already this season 15 and Nemanja Nikolic chasing in the standings most effective.
In the end Cracovia ambitiously looking for the winning goal, but although it did not succeed, it may be satisfied with this performance. And most importantly – with phenomenal year, because throughout 2015 has won as many as 68 points in 39 games, which is the second result in the league. What’s more, the players Zielinski announce that the most important just in front of them.
Jacek Zielinski (coach Cracovia) : “I must admit that after the first half appetites were bigger and we were hoping that we can hence deport three points. In the second half a little bit is not played in our performance, we gave a push Jagiellonia and there was a moment that it actually smelled a little ugly. But I’m glad that the boys played to the end, until the end of trying. Wyrównaliśmy 2-2 we tried yet to score three goals. I suspect that no one is happy with the distribution of points, but you have to accept. It would be sad to go back to Krakow from zero achievements, we have a point and must be poszanować. Now we have Christmas. “
Michael Touchstone (coach Jagiellonia Białystok) : “We knew it was a match against a very tough opponent. We were prepared for it and we had two options setting. We had to quickly switch to the second set tactical, to improve the game in the middle, because that’s where we lost. Certainly worried about the loss of two goals after penalty corners. It is this our lack of responsibility. You can see that the players lack experience. As Jack Góralski, who lost a duel with Rakels.
-Cieszy that after this match as the Termalica team responded positively. There was quite different than there; fighting from the first to the 90th minute. And it is also a warning for the players, so it still has a look, and not just from time to time. When she runs a few minutes before the end of the game, then you have to defend all parts of the body, they have the guys. That just today we missed. Too bad, because this season could end much better. “
