Things aren’t going well on the team. The leading Russian team is struggling with many problems. The club’s owner, Sergei Galitsky, does not have the funds to pay the players’ salaries. His accounts in European banks were frozen due to Western sanctions after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“Krychowiak cared about the game”
In recent days, the media wrote about the fact that foreign players from Krasnodar decided to leave the club. Journalists wrote that Grzegorz Krychowiak was the first to come in front of the line, who started talks with activists on the premature termination of the contract. Another version of the events was presented by Konstatny Genich, Match TV expert.
It turned out that the Pole stayed in the club and the other foreign players left Russia.
– Grzegorz Krychowiak was very keen to be able to play until the end of this season. He wasn’t that much interested in the training itself, but he did care about playing soccer. Therefore, he stayed in Krasnodar, and the other players did not leave, but went on vacation. They were not interested in training. These players got time off, I think they gave up their salary, so it was convenient for the club. Krychowiak is the only one left, but he is a real walczak, he does not give up so easily. Grzesiek stayed there to be able to find a new club somewhere.
He also added that Krychowiak had a serious offer, but it was not from overseas.
– Grzesiek had a serious offer. However, it was not a club from Brazil or MLS. If Grzesiek said yes, he could sign the contract right away. This, however, came with a risk for the future. It was a fall-back option. [Piłkarze będą mogli “zawiesić” swoje kontrakty i znaleźć zatrudnienie w innym klubie. Po zakończeniu sezonu będą musieli jednak wrócić – red.]. Grzegorz has a very strong management agency, so the phones will probably ring soon. In the context of his loan, something can be arranged – added Kwiatkowski.
“Krychowiak showed civil courage”
Did Krychowiak really persuade foreign players to terminate the contracts? – Dominik Wardzichowski, who hosts the program, asked?
– The Russians have a strange idea of civil courage. Grzegorz showed strong civil courage and spoke it aloud. He was not ashamed to say what his plan was for his future career. He is a cheerful boy, he likes to joke, but when it comes down to it, he keeps his feet on the ground. He is intelligent and very aware. I do not know if he persuaded his colleagues from Krasnodar to terminate the contracts, but no footballer even has such a tool. FIFA did not give it – added Kwiatkowski.
The Poles do not want the match to be postponed to June. “Unacceptable”
Sebastian Staszewski from Interia informed that FIFA is playing against the time for the Poland-Russia match scheduled for March 24. One idea is to postpone the play-off game to June. This solution is almost a doomed in the play-off game between Ukraine and Scotland.
– It would be completely incomprehensible. Due to the fact that Ukraine is a victim and from her point of view it would make sense to postpone the match to June, but why should we treat the aggressor equally? This, of course, is not the fault of the Russian players, but the country made the decision. In my opinion it is unacceptable,
