The Legia, a team prepared by Edi Iordănescu, qualified with great emotions in the unique group of League. He did 3-3 with the Hibernian, after the extensions, under the conditions in which he had won the first leg with 2-1.
Despite the qualification, Edi Iordănescu has almost directly threatened the club's management with the departure unless his expectations are fulfilled. He also complained about how players got the promotion in Conference League.
Edi Iordănescu puts pressure on the leadership
“As long as I work on Legia, I will always tell the truth. I don't think there is someone at this club that is better than myself and, if the day I will not listen to, I will say that maybe we should break up,” said the former coach of Romania.
He was unhappy with the fact that important players are sold to him and something of quality is put in place. Since the beginning of the season, the Legia lost Luquinhas (no – before Iordanescu's arrival), Maxi Oyes and Ryoya Morishita, and Jan Zoółkowski will probably leave soon.
Edi Iordănescu: “When I came here, certain things were promised”
“For two and a half months, I never complained but There are things that do not thank me. I have the support of two former players (no – the directors Michał żewłakow and Fredi Bobić), they know my expectations and what I want.
We have to close the transfer window properly. I hope there will be two or three transfers in the coming days. Players should give everything first and leave after three or four seasons. We can't be a window for everyone.
In the present, I didn't know if some players would leave or not, but Jan Zoółkowski will probably do it. Show me a coach who would be happy to see a player leaving. When I came here, some things were promised, people work, but if they were going to happen faster, it would be easier, ”said Iordănescu Jr.
Edi Iordănescu: “If we do not win the title, I will consider my future”
“Double” with Hibernian? “The first seven and the last five minutes of Scotland and the last 11 minutes in Warsaw could have ruined everything. I didn't have time to react. Everything happened too quickly. I saw the same thing in Larnaca. It wasn't bad there, but then everything has been. At such times, you have to react more mature.
We changed the structure, tactics and attackers. I had never done this before, but I had to react to how the team played. I was driving to the break but It was the fans who helped us to move on.
They were the ones who took the team to the championship. Congratulations to the players, including Rajovic, but the fans were the ones who saved the evening, “Edi emphasized, who mentioned that if he did not take the title in Poland:” I will certainly consider my future. “
