And he added: “The police contacted me from the very beginning, from the moment the team left the stadium in Płock. I was in touch with the Warsaw police headquarters and the district police headquarters in Grodzisk. We agreed where the coach was and where I was. So that everything is properly coordinated.

Paśniewski also explained why he was not on the bus with the team. – With such an extensive training staff as we currently have in the team, and we are talking about 16 or 17 people, believe me, we were simply crowded on the bus. Even the players themselves paid attention to it – he said.
