The last few weeks in Lublin were marked by preparations for the Ekstraklasa. When Mateusz Stolarski's team defeated the Ekstraklasa in the play-offs at the beginning of June, Ark Gdynia and won promotion to the highest division after 32 years, the club was filled with euphoria. The players, coaches and owner Zbigniew Jakubas himself did not hide their happiness.
Motor Lublin returns to Ekstraklasa. However, this coach… “This is how we enter”
On Sunday at 8:15 p.m. Motor will play its first match of the new season. At the Arena Lublin, it will face Raków Częstochowa. There is great excitement and anticipation in the Lublin region for the start of the games. A few hours before a match however, quite a storm broke out. It's about the coach.
“This is how we enter the Ekstraklasa today at 8:15 p.m.” – wrote team captain Piotr Ceglarz on Instagram and published a photo of the bus that Motor is supposed to take to the stadium. The problem is that it is… a regular PKS Radzyń Podlaski bus. This caused outrage among fans. “Siara”, “M” – write disgusted fans.
Interestingly, Ceglarz was not the only player who tried to post the coach on social media. Other players of the newcomer did it too, which was noticed by internet users.Football players “They themselves made a fool of themselves. Well, let's cut them some slack for such amateurism,” wrote one of the fans. “It looks like the coach is about to get parental consent for the trip,” commented another mockingly.
Indeed, the situation with the Motor coach is quite bizarre. The lack of a club name or coat of arms is hard to accept in the Motor environment.
The first match with Raków is today at 20:15.
