#PRESS CONFERENCE

The result of the game is its own comment. I regret our hard work, involvement and the fact that we’re not able to focus properly during whole 90 minutes of the match. The beginning of the second half impinges on the result. We lost a very important game and we need to pull ourselves together as quickly as possible. Legia was within our reach. However, this is also a great team and an unguarded moment can be really painful.

We’re happy about the victory over Cracovian team. I’m glad of my team’s attitude during whole 90 minutes of the game. Not everything was perfect but we showed character, strength and faith that we could win this match.

Maciej Skorża (Legia’s coach): I’m pleased with the fact that we rose to the occasion, and did what we had to. We defended last week’s result, but in all honesty, the Turks were less harmful than last Thursday. Seldom did they reach our goal, and that’s what we set out before the match. My applause go to the players for sticking to the tactical plan - with minor exceptions.

Jan Urban (Legia's coach): We were able to see a match on a good level. This game showed simply how Polish teams have to play. There were lots of situations – for us and for Lech as well. We are happy with the victory, because it means that Wisła isn't going to gain a greater advantage over our team. However, what I'd like to say is that we always have to play like in this match. This can't be an accidental, but a usual thing. Good that the game was even more open than a year before, because this made the match more attractive.

Jacek Zieliński (Lech's coach): The audience could like this game, because both teams played offensively. There were lots of situations to score goals. This is a pity that we weren't able to take advantage of them and to strike goals. We wanted to win here in Warsaw and till the 60th minute we were on the right track to do it. Nevertheless, we made two mistakes in the defence and we lost. This defeat hurts. However, if the rival scores two goals, then it wins the match deservedly.

Orest Lenczyk: I succeeded to talk to players and to train with them a little bit. It seems that there is glimmer of hope for my footballers. I don't think that teams which play in Warsaw consider winning of three points. Our performance in the match against Legia was either bad, sometimes simply terrible, or good, sometimes simply brilliant. We made lots of mistakes, there was chaos on the field, however we did our best not to lose this game.

Jan Urban: We wanted to attack Cracovia with pressing, however we had problems with its counterattacks. The away team generated some great situations in the first half. Fortunately, they didn't take advantage of any of them. After the break we were definitely prevailing, but due to the rivals' good defence we weren't able to defeat them. Frankly, we didn't believe that we could lose points in a such match.

Legia plays match against Cracovia Cracow on Saturday. Jan Urban is afraid practically only of Orest Lenczyk. “This is a very experienced coach. Probably he’s able to take us by surprise. However we’ll do our best not to let them play on the field. Reshuffle of the coach always musters players’ energies. That’s why we can’t think of Cracovia as if this is a poor team” – thinks Urban.

Jan Urban (Legia's coach): I think we were the team which was prevailing in this match, although we didn't have too many opportunities to score goals. If we had stroke a goal in the first half, footballers of Arka would have had to play offensively and we would have been able to generate more situations to score goals. The result 0-0 was advantageous for Arka – that's why the team from Gdynia was trying to defend it. The result was determined after Maciej Rybus's free-kick.

Jan Urban (Legia's coach): This is hard to explain what was going on in the first half. We can't play such football. And it doesn't matter that we play against a promoted team. We can't disregard any club. And it would be better if the players didn't complain about the weather, because both teams had to endure the same conditions. I don't have reservations about the second half, however my footballers will have to be punished for the first three quarters.

"We'll see if the results which we achieved in the friendlies transpose to official, important matches. Almost all my players have experience in the European games. My doubts refer only to two footballers – Adrian Paluchowski and Krzysztof Ostrowski. They didn’t play too much in the league, so we'll see how they're going to cope in a such match" – said Legia's coach, Jan Urban.

"I have to admit that this fixture was very interesting, because the results were changing quite fast and we knew about them thanks to the linkman. However, we shouldn't have drawn this match. Result 3-1 to our advantage would be adequate to the situation on the pitch. Then the game became equalised – both teams had their chances to score goals"– said Jan Urban at the press conference. "We knew that this match was going to be tough. If he had won the game, we would have been at the second place in the league.

"We have a great opportunity to get the pick of the basket. However it's up to us if we are able to do it" – said Jan Urban at press conference. "I am not nervous. We'll be trying to make up for the negative result from the first match against Ruch. I know that my team would really like to play in the final. I believe that they can do it! I will try to form the lineup so that it doesn't have a great influence on the game against Wisła on Sunday. It's possible then that we will have to play in the extra time on Thursday" – said Urban.
