The victory and the course of the match.

“You can certainly say it was a hard-earned victory. Above all, we’re very happy with the three points, there’s no hiding that. But we’re not getting carried away, because we know there are many things to improve, and we’d all like the second half to have been less nervy at times from our perspective. Above all, we need to be calmer when it comes to controlling the ball, which would probably also make the course of the match more composed,” said Wisła Kraków captain Alan Uryga.

Defensive organization.

“Visually, you really have to admit that it looked as though Wisła Płock had a clear advantage. But as you said, little came of it. Our defense was very tight. We worked well in terms of shifting across and competing in duels. So apart from that one set piece, I really don’t remember any particularly good chances. Even though they controlled the game, you could say that we again had more chances in the second half, despite them keeping the ball for longer,” analyzed the defender.

His 100th Ekstraklasa match and his feelings about facing his former team.

“Not much, to be honest. I’d be lying if I said otherwise. My heart beat a little faster when I looked at the fixture list and saw that we were playing Wisła Płock in the third round. Of course, I have a great affection for Wisła Płock. I spent four very good seasons there, met some great people and developed a lot as a player, so I remember it very fondly. But that’s the job, so to speak—there are no sentiments once you step onto the pitch,” he said.

“Referring to the previous question, I’ve already played enough matches not to treat individual games as special because of the importance or stature of a particular opponent,” he added.

Changes in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa.

“I think it’s too early to make any assessments. I think the first opportunity will come during the winter break, when we’ll be able to analyze things objectively and say how the league has changed and what its current characteristics are,” he said.

“After the first match against GKS, I said that the biggest difference was the players’ footballing quality. That’s something I can still stand by today. As for the other conclusions, we’ll probably be able to draw them after a dozen or so matches,” he added a moment later.

Do six points at the start of the season provide greater comfort ahead of two away matches?

“That’s how it works, that’s how football works, that’s how league tables work, that’s how scoring works: the more points you have, the lighter your head is, so to speak. That’s absolutely the case. Does it change anything? No. There will be very difficult matches, as there always are. Like today’s match, the previous one and the match against GKS. AbAbsolutely. In every match, I’m convinced that we’ll have to run, fight and battle for these points, so we’re preparing as usual,” concluded Wisła Kraków player Alan Uryga.
