Siemieniec on Team Fatigue
In his statements, Siemieniec emphasized the primary goal of recovering from the prior week’s defeat. He reflected on the team’s physical and mental state, noting the challenges posed by a demanding schedule. The match against Lechia revealed significant issues with team preparation.
“Nothing worked against Lechia. We struggled physically and mentally, leading to a disappointing performance,” Siemieniec remarked during the press conference.
Assessment of the Previous Match
