at the end of October he was released from Legia. Or more precisely: removed from leading the first team, because the club still pays him salaries every month. This state of affairs was supposed to last until June 30, when Michniewicz’s contract with Legia was to expire. It will happen much faster, because Michniewicz will be officially presented on Monday as the new coach of the Polish national team.
On this occasion, “Kanał Sportowy” published the last briefing that Czesław Michniewicz led as a coach, which took place before the league match with Piast Gliwice. There are many words in the recording that confirm media reports about Legia’s players – incl. the existence of a party group or the absence of Mahir Emreli from training.
– How many of you can say about yourself that you accept the situation you are in? You walk, you fuck, you fuck on the right, on the left. You cry managers, you don’t come to trainings, you are late, you are not 100% concentrated. I will be honest with you, I will tell you things that you may not like, but which I feel – Michniewicz began then.
And he started enumerating the problems of Legia’s players. – Should I trust a player who overslept at eleven for training? We are sitting here, waiting, there are no two days before the match with Lech. Do I have such a player or should you trust him? What time do you have to go to bed to wake up the next day at 11? Do you think if you go to bed at 10 pm, you will sleep fourteen hours? – he stressed.
Michniewicz: Tinders, parties, it all gets to me
“Tinders, parties, all the things that happen around you, it all comes to me.” I consciously do not touch certain things, because I do not want to interfere with your private life, everyone has their own goals. But gentlemen, if it prevents us from winning, I will talk about it honestly – Michniewicz continued.
– Out of two million people in Warsaw, 1.5 million people support Legia. And we hurt them with our attitude. Not because Emreli missed the goal with Lech Poznań. He’s upset that I’m talking about it. If a journalist asks me if it was a key moment in the match, that he did not score in three months, I confirm – it was a key moment – he admitted.
Michniewicz: You came as the king of Azerbaijan, but for me everyone is equal
– A guest comes to me for three months, says hello, drinks coffee with me. Suddenly she enters the cafeteria, passes me like a shadow. I didn’t do anything to you, man. You did something to me as a team because you didn’t take advantage of the situation. But I accept it because that’s the ball. You’ve got a lot to improve on the head bang. But if you take offense, cry, live a different life, I’m not afraid to say it. You came as the king of Azerbaijan, but for me everyone is equal – he said towards the players.
– Difficult situations require difficult decisions. After training, I will announce who will go to the match with Piast. There will be surprises, but I am aware of them. I want to take players with me who will go to the war with me. Everyone is supposed to have their barrels pointed at their opponents, not at me. Those who target my back will stay where they are
