This Friday we will play an away match against Piast Gliwice as part of the 13th round of the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa in season 2024/25. The match will start at at 6 pm.
The away match against Piast Gliwice is another chance to try and improve our position in the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa table and leave the relegation zone. The White-Greens are determined to return to Gdańsk with full points. We must show that in difficult moments the whole Lechia is always together.
– I have known this team for almost a year and a half, so I know what this team is capable of in terms of work, in terms of work ethic. We are indeed at a point where we need points. We need points, which will also give us that kind of positive wind in our sails again in terms of functioning not in the group, because in the group it’s ok, but certainly every player individually analyses the situation and probably has problems sometimes with what they see in terms of their person. So of course this mentality is not at the highest level, but also I wouldn’t say that we are nailed down or that we approach the next match as if we are going to lose. No, no, here I think that this awareness that is in all of us will also allow us to be even more disciplined on the pitch and this discipline will translate into scoring – said coach Szymon Grabowski at a pre-match press conference.
– We all understand that we are not in a good place in terms of the table. On the other hand, all of us, together with the fans, believe that we are doing the job, believe in the job and want to do the best job possible. We are of good mind. We approach the next match with confidence – said Maksym Khlan at a press briefing.
