When you lose the last sparring before the league, losing seven goals, even being a great optimist, it is difficult to get rid of even minimal doubts. Lech Poznań on Friday evening, however, showed that sparring and league are completely different matters. This time Lech was like Nordsjaelland and ruthlessly drove around Widzew, winning 4: 1.
Sousa's magician will lead Lech to the title? Effective opening of the Portuguese
The fifth minute of the game – Afonso Sousa receives a pass from Daniel Hakans just before the penalty area, a great deception passes by the sliding of Fran Alvarez, then he copes in sixteen with Jakub Sypek and a strong shot from a sharp corner, he defeats Rafał Gikiewicz. The fifth minute of the game after the break – Afonso Sousa with a wonderful distance hit hits 3: 0 and seals the win of “Kolejorz”.
The 24-year-old Portuguese plays the third season in Lech, but maybe only now he is able to focus on the ball, because he had previously on his head, among others Mother's serious illness he confessed on Friday in an interview with “Przegląd Sportowy”. And in the current competition, with a clean head, Sousa shows its great quality. This season, Ekstraklasa has already scored eight goals and added five assists to them, giving Lech this necessary note of football magic, which may be crucial in a fierce battle for the title.
Of course, not only Sousa scored a good performance on Friday evening. Daniel Hakans played the ball on the left along with the Portuguese, who crowned his game with assistance. Two goals were added by the reliable Mikael Ishak, and the center of Lech's field, although without Radosław Murawski, was able to dominate his opponent with long fragments. The rematch of “Kolejorz” was fully successful for the defeat of autumn. Niels Frederiksena team began the league spring from a clear declaration to fans And rivals – “We want this championship!”
Surprise during the break, the transfer record of the Premier League. Lech confirms high ambitions
Lech Poznań was not very active during the winter transfer window, although the transfers of Gisli Thordarson and Rasmus Carstensen turned out to be so qualitative that Niels Frederiksen coach issued them from the first minute at the first possible opportunity.
Lech is still looking for a striker, and in the meantime during the match against Widzew Łódź showed great ambitions to build a stable championship team in the capital of Greater Poland. During the break, “Kolejorz” announced on the screen the purchase of the Swedish winger Patrik Walemarek from Feyenoord Rotterdam for EUR 1.8 million, which is the transfer record of the Premier League (together with Ali Gholizadeh). The Swede himself, who was injured only on the pitch, show the fans with the t -shirt, signed a long contract by 2029.
Just as Frederiksena's band showed that he wants the title, the purchase of Walemarek shows that Lech's authorities think similarly. Now only Walemark himself has to prove his potential – because although no one will refuse his skills, after the debut with Hattrick in Kielce with Korona, he added only a goal and assist this season, and everyone in Poznań is much more counting.
Strange situation in the Premier League. Why did the referee stop the game? We translate
In the 58th minute there was an unprecedented situation in Widzewa's penalty area. In the action of Antoni Kozubal, the ball hit the rather careless judge Karol Arys. According to the regulations, the judge dictated the judge's throw, but gave the ball to Widzew. However, this is not all, because a moment after the game resumes Rafa³ Gikiewicz He didn't catch a simple ball. In addition, he was still entangled in her, which looked strange. He tried to use this Kozubal, taking his football and directing it to the net.
Judge Karol Arys, however, interrupted the game and repeated the judge's throw, not allowing Antoni Kozubal to increase the result of the meeting. Confused fans could only wonder why? The Canal+ Sport reporter Błażej Łukaszewski passed on, citing a technical referee that during the referee kick, rivals must remain outside the penalty area or at least not fight for the ball.
In “Game Recipes” this record looks a bit different. “All other players (both teams) must remain a minimum of 4 meters (4.5 jars) from the ball until it is in the game” – we read.
IN transmission We see that Antoni Kozubal was closer to the ball than the prescribed four meters, so the interruption of the game was as justified as possible.
What are the advantages of Widzew Łódź?
Two minutes of joy. This is how much he gave his fans in the first league match in the new year in Łódź Widzew. When Luis Da Silva hit the net after a free kick made by Sebastian Kerk in the 2nd minute, it might seem that Daniel Myśliwiec's team, as last season, could cause a big surprise in Poznań.
But another two or three minutes passed, and instead of 1: 0 for Widzew, the hosts led in the same attitude. First, Var canceled Da Silva's goal, and after a while Afonso Sousa entered the defensive of Łódź residents that his arms folded into applause. Daniel Myśliwiec set Widzew for the first time during his term in a classic system with three stopwatches and two swing .
Did the first goal set the meeting? It is possible, but looking at the attitude of Widzew, it is difficult to risk such a statement. The inhabitants of Łódź were simply very weak in Poznań that day, without any arguments. Without Imada Rondic, who is sick/thoughts in FC Koeln (delete unnecessary), the Łódź team looked as if the football potential deficit was too big for such an opponent. One Fran Alvarez or flashes of Sebastian Kerk is not enough to fight for a good result in Poznań. Just like waking up with a 3: 0 result for Lech, when you managed to score an honorary goal and create a few nice situations under the goal of Bartosz Mrozek.
Daniel Myśliwiec at a press conference with an eloquent smile acknowledged the lack of winter transfers to his team, but without a few reinforcements, including without a class striker in place of Imad Rondic in his sale to Cologne, a well -deserved club from Łódź is asking for problems. Let's say it directly – there is a lack of football quality in Widzew, which in Poznań stuck in the eyes.
