“The club wasted this year – the transfers were not as successful as expected, the team currently does not have a coach, the atmosphere is very dense. She has been deducted for corruption from years ago. Next season there will be more clubs, but the league will be relegated by three, not one. there is still a lot of time at the beginning of the season, but in Krakow they have to realize that balancing on the edge will end in a fall. Twice Wisła slipped and escaped from under the ax. The third time he may not be so lucky. ”
Nine months have passed and it can be firmly confirmed that the conclusions have not been reached. And if they stayed, the authorities’ actions were unsuccessful. “White Star” is again fighting to keep in. In May, the trio that saved Wisła will have 3.5 seasons behind them as managers. And only this half, i.e. the spring round of the 2018/2019 season, was calm when it comes to field matters. Maciej Stolarczyk’s team, although plagued by organizational problems and affected by the personnel revolution, still had matches in which they delighted.
It wasn’t that bad yet. Wisła is getting into more and more trouble
In the 2019/20 season, Wisła Kraków recorded a series of 10 consecutive defeats in the league, which is disgraceful for the club’s history. The team was at the bottom of the league table. The coach pulled him out of it. In the next round he failed miserably, and the club was balancing on the border again. Peter Hyballa was hired, who had a good start but got worse from there. Maybe it’s hard to believe, because currently Wisła is still slightly above the line, and there are still 12 queues left to the end, but it seems that now Wisła is closer to a sports disaster than ever.

When Wisła was losing 10 games in a row (2: 4), she had 19 more rounds by the end of the season. She already had a new coach and the entire transfer window in front of her. There was something to hope for that this team would rise. And so it happened. Artur Skowronek and Leszek Dija prepared the team well for the beginning of the spring round, which was crucial. Nice transfers have also been made. To this day, Wisła fans miss Alon Turgeman, who remains the last successful striker seen at Reymont. He was healthy, whose goals were invaluable. Obtained from, but still. Wisła was also partially favored by the format of the games. Thanks to the division into groups, Wisła did not have to play with the leading teams in the final round. And then there was the weakness of the rivals.
A season later, Wisła changed coach again before the winter break. Again, the team had a decent streak and worked out some advance. Later it got worse, the transfers were unsuccessful, but somehow it was enough to maintain it. The more that one team was relegated from the league at that time.
Today, Wisła is still above the line, but has only a point advantage over Górnik Łęczna. Behind the Wisła players’ back there is Legia, which of course also looks terrible, but still has one match overdue and can jump over Wisła. There are 12 queues left by the end of the season. Wisła hired Jerzy Brzęczek after winter preparations. ? Spectacular. Only outgoing. Wisła sold the two best players – Aschraf El Mahdiui and Yaw Yeboah. This season, three teams will be relegated from the league. Nobody has laid down their arms yet. Legia and Zagłębie Lubin cannot be crossed out until the very end. Górnik Łęczna and Warta Poznań record very good series. If anyone in Krakow thought that the last places were booked for newbies, he was severely disappointed. Bruk-Bet sticks out, Górnik hovers on the edge, but Radomiak is doing very well. Stal Mielec looks surprisingly well, Wisła Płock and Górnik Zabrze are doing well. And these are all teams that some Krakow fans (and maybe not only them) threw into a bag with the inscription “they will be even worse”.
Wisła reminds you, which tests the parent’s patience and checks how much he can afford. It creates more and more problems until the parent, after two reprimands, finally says “enough”. Or as if she was going to “stay in the league”. She managed to pass the easy and medium levels. Now he is trying the hard level. Only here there is no “save” option, which you can return to in case of failure.
Of course, the Vistula River has a chance. But right now he is definitely in the top three teams to be relegated. And it won’t change if she doesn’t start helping herself. When Artur Skowronek was preparing Wisła for the battle to maintain in the spring round, he clearly declared that the top form must come immediately, because Wisła will play three at home for the first four matches. This season, Wisła started the spring round with a trip to Częstochowa, where it was extremely difficult to score points. But then Stal Mielec and Górnik Łęczna were hosted by them. And she scored only one point in these meetings. In this second match, Wisła had a chance to believe in the new opening, catch a breath and look to the future with a little more peace and optimism. Failed to. A series of extremely difficult meetings ahead of the Vistula, in which it will be very difficult to score any points.
“Uncle” was unwanted, and now may be your last hope
What can Wisła to base its hopes on? Ironically, on. At the same, against which many fans (and maybe not only) defended themselves with their hands and feet. After all, it would seem that the Błaszczykowski brothers were hiring their “Uncle”, and besides, the Polish training thought does not guarantee anything. Today, basically the only hope for Wisła is that the new coach will arrange it all in such a way that the “White Star” will start to score points. Three teams are dropping off this season. Rivals score. There are no stars or leaders in the Wisła team who would pull the team. The trainer has already been changed. Wisła no longer has lifebuoys. He has to deal with what he has. It is like a garrison of a besieged city that cannot be counted on to help. Either he will defend himself or he will be doomed.
After the meeting with Górnik, Jerzy Brzêczek made it clear that he would be talking to Tomasz Pasieczny, the sports director, about transfers. However, one should not expect that a few specific players will come to Wisła a few days before the end of the winter window. Maybe one, but the needs are much greater than that of central midfielders, through the wingers and the striker. Especially the latter position is the Achilles’ heel of the Vistula. For the last time in the league, the Wisła striker scored a goal … on August 29! Then Felicio Brown Forbes gave Wisła a win over the nearest rival -. In total, Wisła’s strikers scored four goals in the league. Same as center-back Michal Frydrych. It comments on itself.
Brzęczek sharply set to work. Already in the match against Górnik Łęczna you could see an improvement. However, the improvement in this case means three shots on target, the expected goal statistics at 1.08 and a goalless draw. This is definitely not enough. The Wisła coach is also trying to build a better atmosphere around the team. He talked to fans when they were visited by footballers during training in Myślenice, and the best atmosphere is, however, the results. Wisła has reached the point where the fans do not want to hear that the players “gave their best”. Here, the game is about survival and as many points as possible. And it promises to be the most difficult and perhaps the most painful moments in the last few years in Wisła.
