Edi Iordănescu housed 10 players last Thursday, in the Conference League match with Samsunspor, to have a new Sunday, in the “shock” against Gornik Zabrze. The result: Two defeats! After 0-1 with the Turks, at home, the Legia also lost in Zabrze, with 3-1!
The team of the former Romanian coach is now in 7 in the standings, no less than 7 points behind Gornik, the current leader, and at 6 by Jagiellonia, who has a less disputed match. The conclusion of the journalists from the Preglad Sortowy: “The Romanian not only put a stick in spokes, but he also scored the saddle before climbing the bike.”
Romanian journalist Kolton: “The coach has no control over the situation …”
Editorialist at Prawda Futbolu, Roman Kolton wrote that “This week Edward Iordanescu broke his both knees. The fact that Górnik ran 6 km more than a rested law is … an important thing that shows that the coach has no control over the situation … “.
And another analyst, Tomasz ćwiąkała, sees a few arguments for the Romanian technician to be kept on the bench. “For now, the most important arguments for keeping Edi are the large number of transfers and his short mandate. A little few for me. I wonder if he will deliver more,” Cwiakala commented.
Legia na had no chance in Zabrze, with Gornik
Finally, Jakub Kłyszejko, from TVP Sport, believes that “coach Iordanescu has prepared quite a lot. He ignored Samunspor for fighting the title in the championship and focused on the duel with Górnik. Eventually, he lost both matches and is now behind Jagiellonia. I saw better plans”.
In Zabrze, the Legia Na had no chance. Gornik opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, through Khlan, and Ousmane Sow high to 3-0, with a “double” (31, 83). Edi Iordănescu's team only managed the goal of honor, scored by Bichakhchyan in the 90th minute.
