Sebastian Mila indicated the favorite of the match between Legia and Rakov. “Everyone will have it deep down in their souls”

On Saturday, the national champion will face the cup holder in the match for the Polish Super Cup, i.e. Rakov Częstochowa will play with the Warsaw Legia, which beat the Medaliki in the final of the Polish Cup Fortuna a few months ago. Last season the balance of these two teams was very even. In the league Rakov won 4:0 at home and lost 1:3 in the capital.

Norbert Amlicki: What is your prediction for Saturday’s match between Legia and Rakov for the Polish Super Cup?

Sebastian Mila (former Slask Wroclaw and Lechia Gdansk player, expert): At the very beginning of the season, it is difficult for me to make out who is in what form. I watched the match between Raków Częstochowa and Flora Tallinn, the first half was very average. Only in the second game did the Polish champions pick up the pace, and the end of this game was definitely a plus for their performance.

In turn, I have not seen the Warsaw Legia this season, so it is a mystery to me how they will play. They had a very good sparring, all wins and only one conceded goal (against Lechia Gdansk - ed.).

It seems director Zelinski was great at picking new players for the team, and I mean mostly Guala and Kuna, who had excelled in Extraclass earlier. In addition, the team recorded few losses because only Mladenovic and Johansson remained. The additions to the squad seem to be very good and Legia, who was strong last season, seems to have become even stronger after these transfers.

The final of the Polish Super Cup will be a big test for both teams before the start of a difficult season. Both teams will approach this match calmly and will not play with a bang, but they will definitely want to seize the initiative. Rakov plays at home, so this is a delicate privilege in favor of the Polish champions. In my opinion, a slight favorite is Legia Warszawa.

Is the fact that Rakov already after the first match in email. for the Champions League works in his favor or not?

For me, this match is a plus for Cancer. For them, this was a common test, and they could use their time to prepare for Lehi. The Varsovians did not have it yet, so they may be accompanied by some kind of uncertainty.

It’s the beginning of the season, so the teams are not yet in optimal shape after the pre-season. In Rakov’s match with Flora Tallinn, it was clear that the players still do not feel the ball, which was reflected in the reception and the game of football. Rakov already has this behind him, so this is definitely a plus for them, and due to the fact that this is just the beginning, the teams are not tired yet, they don’t have many matches on their feet, so I’m more inclined to believe that the meeting gives the medalists a slight advantage.

Could what happened in the final of the Polish Cup affect the course of this match?

The match for the Polish Super Cup is a new chapter for both teams. Of course, everyone will remember what happened at that meeting. However, I don’t think the clash of cups has affected player engagement. Regardless of whether this brawl takes place or not, both teams will have the desire to win another trophy.

Fixing the next trophy in the window and in the resume is so important that the players do not need additional motivation, but they will do everything to win them.

He joined the Legion Patrick Kuhn, a former player from Rakov. Will this fact give additional flavor to this fight, will it be especially difficult for him?

Definitely yes. I believe that a footballer who has been in the same team for a long time and has been associated with these players will have sentiment somewhere in the back of his head. Moreover, this is a very fresh translation. When I moved to Lechia Gdansk, playing for Slask Wroclaw for six years, I know from experience that emotions got the better of me and I was not myself at the time.

Let’s also look at Robert Lewandowski, who went to Munich with Barcelona, ​​where he spent many years of his excellent career. In his case, it could also be seen that the emotions were tearing him apart, and the same could be the case with Kun. Of course, everyone copes with this better or worse, and we’ll see how he reacts in this game.

In the end, I will go back to 2012 when you won the Polish Supercup with Slask and Legia. How do you remember that moment years later?

These are wonderful memories. These trophy games are always great memories, especially when you win. In 2012, we played at the Legia Stadium in Warsaw, because the Super Cup was played at ul. Lazenkovskaya, so it gave an extra flavor, because we had a more difficult task. Every final is great for a footballer. Each player strives for the last and decisive meeting.
