Legia Warsaw crushed Welsh Caernarfon Town FC 11:0 in two matches in the second round of the Conference League qualifiers! A week ago, Goncalo Feio's players won 6:0 at Łazienkowska, and scored five goals away from home. Legia scored the first goal already in the eighth second of the second half.

This match will probably not be remembered in the following years as an extraordinary victory of Legia Warsaw. However, something happened in this match that is worth noting. Namely, in the 74th minute Jordan Majchrzak left the pitch and was replaced by Jakub Żewłakow, for whom it was a debut in the adult team of Legia Warsaw. The 17-year-old is the son of 102-time representative of Poland Michał Żewłakow.
Jakub Żewłakow could have summed up this performance with a goal, as he scored in the 77th minute. However, this goal was disallowed because the young midfielder was offside. Until now, Żewłakow has only played in the youth teams of the capital club.
The question is whether Jakub Żewłakow will make a career in Legia Warsaw like his father? Michał Żewłakow played for the capital club in the years 2011-2013. During that time he appeared in 69 matches. With Legia he won three trophies – the championship and two Polish Cups.
Jakub Żewłakow's uncle, Marcin, also played football and played for the Polish national team. – I look at Kuba and this is the first such feeling – he doesn't play football like a Pole. I have the impression that he thinks completely differently, behaves completely differently on the pitch than Michał, than me. He is a playmaker and I don't know if this doesn't anoint this player in the right direction. He is a player who approaches certain things completely differently. Michał doesn't try to set him up for his course of action and thinking, he just respects Kuba's spontaneity and improvisation on the pitch. Michał doesn't push, he just observes – This is what Żewłakow said about his nephew at the beginning of April this year.
