If the count points earned for the UEFA rankings, we could say that for Polish football club third best season in the XXI century in European competitions. Season – statistically, not aesthetic – only worse from appearances in 2011/12 and 2002/03. In addition, the season that allowed Poland to climb to the 18th place a year ago occupied the 19th position, and two and three years ago – 21.
And that this cautious optimism, the feeling yesterday was no way. Lech and Legia in 12 games dug only six goals, including barely won nine of 36 possible points yesterday to say goodbye passed a painful defeat. Although they lost with the best teams in their groups, which had already assured promotion, but the circumstances of both defeats were depressed. On the miracles that both Polish clubs needed to advance yesterday, it looked not even for a moment.
Lech Swiss champion FC Basel lost for the fourth time in the season. During the summer fell 1: 3 and 0: 1 in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League, and in the autumn 0: 2 and 0: 1 in LE. In Poznan at the end of the group stage weakest part of Swiss set in the previous matches. Basel played without several key players from the junior in the attack in the second half of nieogranym and uncertain goal, but even with such a master of Switzerland not coped best team of Polish league last season.
The closest goal for Lech Kasper Hamalainen but in 72 minutes, a mistake in alone with the keeper. Middle hitting was also Darko Jevtic, a graduate of Basel, which managed to play two league matches – his shot from a free kick bar. The Swiss scored the only goal just after a great occasion David Kownackie, which should knock the ball close to the goal. Lech in this year’s group stage, scored five points, but remember that playing in Europe he returned after five years and yesterday at the end of the group stage at least resisted.
Meanwhile, the Legion, which has itself carried a ranking of national Polish, played very badly and she asked yesterday about further goals. The style in which perished 2: 5 in Naples, shows the regression of the team that last fall was the revelation of the group stage LE.
It’s not just the fact that he has won as many as 15 points, and in the current barely four. Last fall Legia played tidy football. Maybe defensive, but effective, organized. Thanks hid highlighted the shortcomings and strengths. Now, in the autumn, we saw her flaws and few good parties. And this despite the fact that it led until two trainers. In two games Henning Berg – the inventor of the patent last year, which this year stopped working in four – Stanislav Cherchesov, who so far in Europe did not invent anything. The group stage ended as the fourth team since the end of the total of 48 participants in terms of statistics of customs administrations.
Yesterday’s match in Naples with the kind of third team Serie A, but really its reserve (played only two main players) He showed how much missing the current Legion to even the European average shelf. A year ago Legion jumped on this level, but this season with a bang with him fell down. Then most of the players like Tomasz Jodłowiec Michal Kucharczyk, Michael Gyro, Ondrej Duda, Guilherme and Lukasz Broz, was in the form of his life. Today they are at the disposal, which they can not delight even in the league. Czerczesowowi two months have failed to revive him.
In addition, the Legion today there is not one so creative player like Miroslav Radović. No wonder that recently the President of the Legion of Boguslaw Leśnodorski asked in “Election” about the results of the current Legion of Legion of 2014. Declined to answer.
Yesterday reserves Napoli easily broke the Legion. The team Czerczesowa barely coming out of their own half and could not replace the three składnych applications. Often he lost the ball on their half of what most irritated Stojan Vranjes. The most expensive but the loss of the evening made Jodłowiec, who stood in front of his penalty area and played the ball outside. So in 39 minutes resulted in a goal through the defense by one of barely said two core players, Lorenzo Insigne. It was a goal to 0: 2, because at 0: 1 got a few minutes before Nathaniel Chalobah after a misunderstanding central defenders.
In the third, Jose Callejon in the 57th minute, guilty of playing at left-back Broz, who allowed on cross into the box. For a while Legia established to fight and even dug her goal after an attack from the reserve Alexander Prijovicia and shot Vanjesa. But the team Czerczesowa, which was famous for its runs, and aggressiveness allowed again to ease conceding a goal.
Jodłowiec twice trotted around Dries Mertens, when the Belgian winger with about 20 meters shot at goal that made it 4: 1 and 5: 1. For Mertens is another hit driven Legion, in autumn 2011. At PSV Eindhoven shot on goal in the two matches of the group stage. I saw the Legion better than the present. The third goal has made in winning 2: 0 score at Łazienkowska, and yesterday fired another and humiliated too defenders of the Legion, as when one shares put on the pitch Pazdan, a ball from the goal line desperately struck Igor Lewczuk with Broziem.
The only positive evening for the Legion was punching reserves Napoli two goals, because in the last action of the match scored Prijović hit his head. This art failed any of the other teams in this group, so far in five matches Napoli lost barely one goal.
