Górnik Zabrze ended the Ekstraklasa season on average. On Sunday, he only drew 1: 1 with Korona Kielce. Ba, he leveled the competition only in the final minutes. Ultimately, the club took ninth place, but that was not the most talk about. Just before the match, information on the extension of the contract with the greatest star of Lukas Podolski. – Górnik and this region are my home! I grew up here and I come from here. Here I will end my career. It was a very difficult decision for me, but at some point you have to say stop. Just not now! – He emphasized the German in a special recording.
Lukas Podolski talks about the extension of the contract. “I can still try my strength on the pitch”
Podolski commented on the decision to extend the contract also in an interview with “Super Express”. He revealed whether his loved ones influenced his opinion, whether they encouraged him to continue their career or to end. – There was no one in the family who would say: “Leave it, don't get tired.” Well, maybe almost no one, because sometimes the father used to say: “Oil is. It's all politics, and they underestimate everything you put in” – he added. And as for the saying of the second parent? – Mom, in turn, said: “You have character like me. So how do you feel that you have strength, you can continue to play” – cited her words Podolski.
But not only he was consulting with his parents. – Many players – my friends and acquaintances who have already completed their careers – also said: “Play as long as you can, because it is the coolest thing in the world.” Many of them ended because of injury. I am healthy, so I want to check what the new season will bring. I don't know if I will play as much as in the seasons to date. But since I have to take up the miner outside the pitch in parallel, I can still try and on it – he emphasized.

What next with the privatization of Górnik? Podolski made a clear declaration
And what is the “miner building” about? Podolski has been striving to privatize the club for many months. Together with its own company LP Holding GmbH plans to purchase 85 percent of shares. – I want to buy a club as soon as possible. I always said that it must be private, separated from the city and politics. That it would not work in such people like those who were here at the beginning when I came – He assured Podolski not so long ago. However, the case got complicated, because Agnieszka Rupniewska was dismissed several days ago.
Despite the complications, Podolski still wants to continue his own plans for the club. – I confirm that I am still interested in buying a miner. And that there are still people in Zabrze who are trying to play different games, they do not want to give up politics around the club? Well, I can't do anything in this matter. Maybe, apart from repeating that I have people who want to invest in Górnik. The city – let's speak honestly – is still the owner, but at the moment he adds a round zero zloty to the club – he thundered, adding that he believes that investors he wants to bring to the club will not give up.
Podolski will look at everything and engage not only from the pitch. But certainly many fans fell from the heart that the German decided to continue his career. And most importantly – he will do it in Zabrze!
