FH Hafnarfjoerdur 0:1 Legia

Elton 84'

I was pretty sure it will be easy match as hell because Legia played with half -professional team. :rolleyes: I expected something really different. Unfortunately they didn't show how well they can play football.

I'm hoping I'll see in Warsaw more goals and the most important thing much better style than that which Legia showed on Iceland :)

hehehe,
after Champions League draw, Ukrainians take up Legia's fan board with their posts. They are from Kiev and from Donetsk... And they're picking a quarrel (about who's better Dynamo or Shakhtar) :chew:

I've never seen an Icelandic club play, how would you say their style is? Is it similar to Norweigian football which is little technique and lots of physical play?

I'm sure Legia will go through easily..

I'm sure Legia will go through easily..Players in Iceland are half-proffesional. They go to work and at evening after work they train. Their style... hm, yes, lots of physical... They're very tall and good-building.

Good game against Cracovia. Shame about the players who scored in that match... only brazilians. :boohoo: (final score 3:1 for Legia)

Can you give me some info on Korzym? I just know he's a really promising forward, about 18, and also a god in FM :fool:.
Would like him to become a good player, been knowing him since he was 16 (Total Club Manager).

Can you give me some info on Korzym? I just know he's a really promising forward, about 18, and also a god in FM :fool:.
Would like him to become a good player, been knowing him since he was 16 (Total Club Manager).It's true - in FM series he's a very good player, but in real world...
Maciej Korzym - born in 1988 in Nowy Sacz. His first club was Sandecja Nowy Sacz (3rd division team). In 2004/2005 season he moved to Legia as very big talent. He was 16 on this time. In 04/05 seson he was at reserves, he wasn't play at any Legia match. After season he moved to Odra Wodzislaw (average first division team) on loan. In Odra he played on right midfield (he's a striker) and played very average. This season he's back from loan and... probably once again he'll be at reserve.

In real world better is Dawid Janczyk, who came to us from the same club as Korzym - Sandecja Nowy Sacz but one year later. In 2005/06 season he scored some goals in league for Legia and in EURO CHAMPS U-19 (this tournament was on Eurosport Live). He's 19.

But for FM team Korzym is better than Janczyk...

Sorry for my poor english.

http://legia.com.pl/img_news/20070412_144835_wdowczyk1.jpgWdowczyk sacked

"Piątek, trzynastego okazał się pechowy dla Dariusza Wdowczyka, który właśnie w tym dniu został zwolniony z funkcji trenera Legii Warszawa. W jutrzejszym meczu przeciwko Arce drużynę mistrzów Polski poprowadzi najprawdopodobniej asystent Wdowczyka - Jacek Zieleński. A największe szanse na przejęcie schedy po popularnym "Wdowcu" ma... obecny trener Arki Wojciech Stawowy." - podaje portal www.sports.pl.

Według naszych dwóch, niezależnych od siebie źródeł, informacja ta jest prawdziwa. Wszystko wyjaśni się najpóźniej na dzisiejszej konferencji prasowej, o godzinie. 16.00.

It should be "Wdowczyk sucker":jambo:

Very impressive run, particularly yesterday's victory over Korona. Now you're pretty close to the leaders.

goals from this match:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRI-zZFI86E

German "Bild" journalist was on Legia match (Legia played agianst Korona). He wanted to check how Poles supporters support their clubs. He wrote:

"Polen: Kein Bier, aber super Fans

Das war die Überraschung der Woche: Die EM 2012 wird in Polen und der Ukraine gespielt. Aber Fußball in Polen – wie geht das überhaupt? BILD-am-SONNTAG-Reporter Julien Wolff war am Freitag beim Spitzenspiel Legia Warschau gegen Korona Kielce. Und hat dabei viel Spaß gehabt."

"Poland: No beer, but super fans"

That was suprising week in Poland: UEFA EURO 2012 will be play in Poland and Ukraine. But football in Poland - where it is going to? BILD-am-SONNTAG's journalist Julien Wolff was on friday on top match: Legia Warsaw against Korona Kielce. And he enjoyed it.
(my translation from german to english, sorry for mistakes)




German journalist underlined great atmosphere at Warsaw stadium. He was only afraid of crowd of policemen, whose looked like antiterrorist squad.

"A hour before the match the biggest platform is full of fans. They are jumping and screaming: "Legia, Legia". When players appear aon the pitch, everyone hold scarfs very high and singing club antherm" - he wrote.

"Beer at the stadium is forbidden but fans are very happy. They talking and laughing. I don't notice any violence."

TODAY at 20:00 CET TOP MATCH:
LEGIA Warszawa vs WISLA Kraków

Legia 3:1 Wisła

I hope so :)

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I predicted almost well.

Goals:
Pawel Brozek 46' [1-0] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_HZ_aewxXdc)
Korzym 60' [1-1] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y5-lEw5r7ao)

Jean Paulista 71' [3-1] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ao9YUj-vJ44)

Korzym's goal was awesome.(Y)

Błaszczykowski = genius

Yeah... someone one day asked me how good is Korzym because he is very big talent in Football Manager. I answered that he is average. But yesterday he was the best Legia player in this match... Football Manager squad is infallible ;)

Błaszczykowski - pure talent. If he won't be in first squad in Dortmund next season I will be very suprised.

That would be a suprise, if next season, he'll be play in second Bundesliga.

LEGIA IN INTERTOTO CUP
After disappointing season Legia will play in Intertoto Cup. Club from Warsaw placed 3rd in Orange Ekstraklasa 2006/2007 season.
In Intertoto Cup Legia will play against club form Lithuania. If Legia advance to 2nd round - against Blackburn Rovers

KP Legia changed logo.

Looks very complicatedly...

Fabiański has gone. Who's gonna be number one now?

Jan Mucha ;)

New players in Legia:
Wojciech Skaba [GK] (from Odra Wodzislaw)
Kamil Grosciki [FW] (from Pogon Szczecin)

You're taking last Poles from Pogoń:p From that what I read and heard about Grosicki, he seems to be a big talent.

Is there any rumours about probable transfers to Legia? Are you still talking with Jacek Bąk? I'm so sorry about that defeat with Łęczna, it has had to be painful experience losing at own stadium.:S

I know about Jacek Bak. Now he is in Armenia with our National Team, and probably after match against this country he'll back to Warsaw and he will start talking with Legia.

Another rumour is that Jacek Kosmalski (Polonia Warsaw) will sign Legia. Newpapers also metioned something about Emmanuel Ekwueme and Mariusz Zasada

Did Jan Urban become the coach of Legia officially?

Today is Legia's press conference (at 19:00CET). We will see.

Jan Urban was officially presented as the coach of Legia at press conference . (Y)

Jan Urban trenerem warszawskiej Legii

Podczas dzisiejszej konferencji prasowej działacze Legii poinformowali o zmianie, jaka nastąpiła na stanowisku pierwszego trenera warszawskiej drużyny. Dotychczasowego szkoleniowca - Jacka Zielińskiego - zastąpił Jan Urban.

Tym samym potwierdziły się informacje, jakie podała poranna prasa. Jeszcze nie tak dawno Jan Urban wiązany był z przejściem do krakowskiej Wisły. Ostatecznie do finalizacji umowy pomiędzy obiema stronami nie doszło. Co nie udało się w Krakowie, powiodło się w Warszawie. Od dnia dzisiejszego trzecia drużyna minionego sezonu ma nowego szkoleniowca.

Przypomnijmy, że miniony sezon warszawska Legia rozpoczynała z Dariuszem Wdowczykiem na ławce trenerskiej. Popularnego "Wdowca" po nieudanej jesieni i słabym początku rundy wiosennej zmienił Jacek Zieliński. Były defensor stołecznej drużyny miał prowadzić Legię do końca rozgrywek. Zgodnie z wcześniejszymi spekulacjami, nie przedłużono z nim umowy na kolejny sezon.

Wbrew oczekiwaniom popularny "Zielek" nie został na dzisiejszej konferencji przedstawiony jako asystent Jana Urbana. Na razie Jacek Zieliński, któremu prezes Leszek Miklas podziękował za pracę w końcówce sezonu, udaje się na urlop.

Wiadomo, że Zieliński niechętnie odnosi się do propozycji objęcia jakiejkolwiek funkcji w sztabie poza pierwszym zespołem. Poza tym dotychczasowy trener ma w wielu kwestiach odmienne zdanie od dyrektora sportowego Legii, Mirosława Trzeciaka. "Pierwsza reakcja Jacka jest taka, że myśli nad opuszczeniem klubu" - nie ukrywa Miklas.

"Mam swojego kandydata na asystenta, jednak na razie nie podam szczegółów. Ta pozycja w wymaga uzupełnienia" - powiedział w rozmowie z dziennikarzami nowy trener trzeciej drużyny Orange Ekstraklasy sezonu 2006/2007

Jacek Bak in Austria Vienna :S

Austria offered more so I am not surprised at all.

I'm impressed with your plans buying new players like Bonin, Wawrzyniak and the others. (Y)
