The Varșovia Legia, a team prepared by Edi Iordănescu, finished in a draw, 0-0, with Jagiellonia and is in 7th in the Ekstraklasa standings.

Edi Iordănescu missed the opportunity to approach the leader Gornik Zabrze and blame the referee after the white draw with Jagiellonia. The Romanian technician believes that his team had to receive a penalty, at a hen in the box of Taras Romanczuk.

Edi Iordănescu: “A very big mistake against Legia”

The Jagiellonia player made an entrance by slip and was hit in his hand from a short distance, but from behind. Damian Sylwestrzak did not give a penalty, and Var did not determine his decision.

“According to all the regulations, we deserve a punishment shot. First of all, the ball touched the hand and, in addition, is not a natural position, and the ball also flew to Paweł Wszołek, which could have been. A very big mistake against the Leg,” said Iordănescu Jr.

Edi Iordănescu: “I am sad, angry, frustrated”

Iordanescu did not hide his anger. “I am sad, angry and frustrated. After the victory over Radomiak, I had two important tests – against Raków and Jagiellonia – and, in my opinion, we deserved to win both matches.

I have to give credit to my players, because they fought for victory. Jagiellonia has scored in almost every match so far, achieving an average of two goals per match. I dominated, the team created opportunities, the players dedicated themselves completely, ”he commented.

Edi Iordănescu believes that the Legia is “on the right track”

On the other hand, the Romanian coach expressed his confidence that “we are on the right track. We have given new players minutes, but I am sure they will be one hundred percent prepared to play after the international break. The fans want to see them now, but we must gradually introduce them.”

Legia is in the 7th place in the standings, after 8 stages, 6 points by leader Gornik Zabrze, who has a more disputed match.
