Recently, Legia Warsaw and Goncalo Feio have been criticized a lot. Mainly for their style of play. The experts did not like it. After eight matches, the club had only 14 points. In addition, in the last match, they lost 0:1 to Raków Częstochowa. The team from the capital city was counting on making up for the defeat in Friday's hit with Pogoń Szczecin. But they did not manage to achieve their goal. And not only did they suffer another, third defeat this season in the Ekstraklasa – 0:1 – but they also disappointed with their game again.
Experts thunder after another defeat for Legia
It is no wonder that the experts did not leave anything Legion dry thread. “Legia is not playing well. They are playing terribly. And there is no perspective in sight. Even cups will not save it,” wrote Hubert Pawlik from Sport.pl.
The journalist predicts a possible black scenario regarding Feio. “The end of another Portuguese at Łazienkowska is approaching inexorably,” he added.
Jakub Seweryn from Sport.pl shared similar feelings about the Portuguese player keeping his job. “There was 'Joga Bonito', so in Ekstraklasa there is also 'Joga Feio'” – he emphasized.
“I'm not saying that Feio is a bad coach, but between Lublin by motorand Legia Warsaw, his CV lacks at least two clubs that are at a level somewhere between these teams,” said Ziemowit Dziopa from igol.pl.
“Legia is still a team that is hard to watch. My teeth hurt,” emphasized Filip Macuda from Sport.pl.
“But seriously – what is Legia's game all about? What are they supposed to do on this pitch?” – wrote Przemysław Langier from goal.pl in disbelief.
Ruthless experts
“Hopeless Legia. Nothing forward, terribly leaking from behind – regardless of the opponent. Seventh league match in a row with a conceded goal. Today, Grosicki's pass was enough and Gorgon easily lost Vinagre by going inside. 5/18 points from the TOP 12 of the previous season. Instead of making progress, there is regression” – assessed Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki directly.
“WITH match Legia Warsaw's game looks worse and worse. It's hard to say where the main problem lies. I think it's not a mental problem, but a tactical one. Today Pogoń is clearly better, with a 'golden change'. Legia has no arguments to win. Second exam failed” – emphasized Krzysztof Dąbrowski from Watch Ekstraklasa.
“Legia looks terrible. Slow, predictable, without understanding, quality. There is no one to scare. Gual moves poorly, Nsame is chaotic. Pogoń tries and is better, defends well, but the match is not exciting in general. Slow… Unfortunately, there is no pace, acceleration” – this is the opinion of Maciej Szcześniewski, which he shared during the meeting.
“I remember the outrage of some fans Legia, when there were voices, for example after the two-game match with Brondby, that Legia looked for long stretches as if they were handicapped in football. And counter-arguments that style is unimportant, what matters is the result! Well, we can see how unimportant it is. The defects quickly became apparent” – wrote Marcin Borzęcki from Viaplay.
Legia will play its next match in the Ekstraklasa on September 28th, when it will face Górnik Zabrze at its home stadium.
The capital club must quickly find a way to improve their game. Especially since they will start fighting in European cups in October. They will start with what seems to be their strongest rival – Real Betis.
