Legia Warszawa was supposed to fight for the Polish championship this season. Meanwhile, after 10 rounds, they may be as much as ten points behind Lech Poznań if they defeat Korona Kielce away on Sunday. On Saturday, Legia failed again. They drew at home with Górnik Zabrze 1-1 in a very poor style, playing well only for 15 minutes of the first half.
Goncalo Feio's nerves are great. Venting your anger on the ball, then wagging your finger and smiling ironically
The fans said goodbye to the “Military” team with whistles, and the Internet is full of calls for the dismissal of coach Goncalo Feio and sports director Jacek. Zieliński. Feio himself even decided to change Legia's starting line-up for this match and even changed the team's formation from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3. Apart from composition he left Jean-Pierre Nsame as the star of the team.
Effect? None, because Legia played perhaps even worse than in the lost matches against Raków Częstochowa and Pogoń Szczecin. She started by conceding a goal at 0-1 penalty kickthen had a good last quarter of the first half, which ended with, among others, equalizing goal, but after the break she was unable to create a single serious opportunity to score the winning goal.
It is therefore not surprising that with the final whistle of referee Łukasz Kuźma, Goncalo Feio's nervousness made itself known again. As recorded by the Meczyki.pl portal, the furious Portuguese kicked the ball with great force against the wall of the stadium at Łazienkowska.
As Feio left the field, he looked highly disconsolate, saying something under his breath, then wagging his finger and flashing an ironic smile. In whose direction? Perhaps technical referee Patryk Gryckiewicz, someone from Górnik Zabrze's camp, or maybe even sports director Jacek Zieliński standing in his way.
What's next for the Portuguese? It's hard to say. With another match like this, it seems his dismissal is closer. Legia did not improve its mood before the start of the competition European Conference League. On Thursday, the Warsaw club will play against the Spanish Betis Sevilla at Łazienkowska Street. Three days later, she will travel to the Polish champion Jagiellonia Białystok. The question is – will Legia be led by Goncalo Feio in both matches?
