After the match against Cracovia, Goncalo Feio, in his own style, calmly entered the conference room and shook hands with each of the journalists present. A moment after Legia Warszawa's spokesman – Bartosz Zasławski – asked the Portuguese to comment on the match, he began his argument.
But not about Saturday's meeting. Feio immediately started with a controversial situation that took place in his team's penalty area. In added time, Paweł Wszołek handballed the ball after Bartosz Biedrzycki's header.
– After the match, I heard from the referees that the ball touched Wszołek's hand. In this situation, the decision should be different – said Cracovia's coach, Dawid Kroczek, who did not agree with the decision of Piotr Lasyk, who did not award a penalty kick to the guests.
Feio immediately commented on Kroczek's words. – I know that life has accustomed you to the fact that Legia must win every match. But winning is very difficult. Look at Manchester City, Real Madrid and Arsenal this season. Check how many teams have won seven of the last eight matches. Or eight out of ten, because Legia did it – Feio began.
– Basically, we should have won nine of the last ten matches, but at the end of the match in Białystok what happened – added the Portuguese, referring to the mistake of Szymon Marciniak, who did not award a penalty kick for Legia in the last match against Jagiellonia (1-1). .
Feio: We feel like we're playing 11 vs. 15 every week
– I understand that the biggest controversy will be the situation mentioned by the Cracovia coach, whom I respect very much. However, I would not like this situation to affect the assessment of this match. I understand that there will be a lot of talk about this situation, but above all, we played a very good match – he continued.
– However, I hope that there will also be talk about other things. The 16th round of the Ekstraklasa is behind us, and my players and I have the impression that week after week we are playing 11 against 15. I would also like people to talk not only about the situation with Wszołek, but also about the first goal for Cracovia. You can analyze everything, so look, there was an illegal block on Marc Gual. Let's talk about that, or about the criteria for whistling fouls or giving cards, Feio concluded.
After 16 rounds, Legia is fifth in the table with 28 points. Cracovia is just above Legia and has a point more. Lech is the leader of the table, having scored 37 points in 16 rounds.
