    Jacek Zieliński talked to journalists before Ekstraklasa clash with Górnik Łęczna. The coach shared information on the teams health and plans for this season.

    ‘For the past two weeks we were training without five players who were called up to their national teams and a few players who were struggling with minor injuries. Now everythings back to the way it is supposed to be. Damian Dąbrowski is still out, but everyone else is available to face Górnik Łęczna. Bartosz Kapustka must be in great mood after having won two games with the Poland national team, especially that he gave a good performance against Finland. Florin Bejan is still getting used to a new league and team. He isnt in such a great shape as he was before joining our team, but he is constantly making progress. Anton Karachanakov is a very skillful player, but right now he isnt able to prove that on the pitch. He is becoming more and more confident and doing good during training session, but when it comes to Ekstraklasa games it is hard for him to play well enough to make a name for himself. We were planning to give Mateusz Wdowiak a chance to play, he knew about it. Now he has to compete with other players who also want to establish themselves as first choice, coach Jacek Zieliński talked about particular Pasy players.

    What is more, Cracovia coach said a few things about the upcoming game against Górnik Łęczna: ‘We are well-aware of our problems, we are trying to fix them. When I took over Cracovia I said from the start that there is not going to be a revolution, but an evolution. Some time has passed since our last match with Górnik, which we lost 1-0. Since then we did much better than Górnik in the Ekstraklasa. The last autumns defeat was definitely our worst game so now we want to avenge it. If we win this Saturday we will be sure to stay in the upper four in the regular season, so we have a lot to fight for. At the beginning of the season we said that finishing the regular season in the upper eight is an absolute minimum. We have already achieved this goal, but appetite comes with eating. Now we want to stay in the third position till the end of the regular season and if we do that, maybe we will be able to come third in the playoffs.
