The Polish Polish defender referred to the difficult qualification on the Wolfsbergerthe challenge of playoffs with the Rijeka and his cooperation with Razvan Lutsescuwhile commenting on the connection of the PAOK With Poland, stressing that it now feels an integral part of the team.
At the same time talked about her national team of his country and expressed the desire to return to the calls In the face of September.
In detail what he said:
Was the Austrians such a difficult opponent that PAOK needed an extension of rematch?
“The Austrian team proved to be a difficult obstacle. It is a well -organized team that knows how to defend and go into dangerous counterattacks. In Clagenfurt we took our opportunity to extend, won and proceeded. No one will remember the style of matches with WAC, we are already thinking of the latest Europa League play-off with Rijeka. ”
Is PAOK pressure to qualify for the Europa League?
“Of course, because PAOK is a great team, one of the largest in Greece. We want to play in the Europa League as well as the previous season. It is well known that the Europa League is at a higher level than the Conference League, so our ambitions are perfectly reasonable. ”
Is it pleasant to play in front of such fans as PAOK?
“When there is a large team, there are many fans, high goals and demands. All my life I have defended the colors of the championship teams and playing in European competitions, so I get used to the pressure. ”
In your game it seems confident. Do you feel good about PAOK?
“I’ve been here two and a half years, I’ve played over a hundred games with PAOK. I know the team well, I’m one of the leaders. I don’t miss anything, I am happy with football. ”
Whether with trio or four in defense, does it matter for you?
“There is no problem, I play in every position of defense, in every system.”
How do you work with coach Razvan Lutsescu, son of the famous Mircea?
“We won the championship with him, last season we took third place in the league. The Greek elite is very balanced, the top5 is on a similar level and often the victory is judged by details. ”
We have learned from Thessaloniki reporters that PAOK considers you their own “child” anymore …
“I’m trying to pay back everything in a good mood. I do everything to show my best side, but from Greek I know only a few words, I only miss that. In the team we talk in English. ”
How is your life in Thessaloniki?
“Now, in the summer, the disadvantage for a Polish is the huge heat. It’s a nice time if you come for a week vacation, but in everyday life you have to adapt. At PAOK we train in the morning, we usually have a concentration at 8, we start at 9. After the night we meet again at 18:00 and train at 19:00. There is no reason to complain, I really like Thessaloniki. ”
Did you have suggestions from other teams after the successful season 2024/25?
“There were no official proposals, so I focus on the game with PAOK and we see what will happen in the future.”
Can you compare PAOK with Dynamo Kiev, where you were playing?
“The war in Ukraine left its mark on football and at the moment PAOK is at a higher level than Dynamo. It was in the past. ”
How do you evaluate Polish teams this year in European events?
“Maybe we face Legia, in which I wish the Europa League qualification. In the Champions League qualifiers, the Red Star proved to be very powerful for Legia, simply has more quality, greater budget, and Legia had basic players injuries. He did not succeed in the Champions League, but certainly the Polish Ekstraklasa is steadily growing. It is no coincidence that we are going up in the UEFA ranking. The Greeks are jealous of Poland for modern stadiums, something that is missing here. You can feel that PAOK is a little Polish team. ”
Miro Snutsner wrote a beautiful story, was Marcin Mietsel, Carol Sviderski. In PAOK they value the Poles.
“I am in touch with the staff of Jan Urban’s national team. We will see what happens in September, I hope I come back. I have 32 entries with the National and I think I have a lot more in front of me. I do my job and hope to be recognized. Coach Michal Probier did not appreciate me, but now we have a new federal technician. “
