Lech poznań why so serious

But there were rays of light last season, with some optimism that success could come in when Lech Poznan celebrate their centenary. Four Poland Under internationals became regulars in the match day squad: wingers Jakub Kaminski 19 and Michal Skoras 21 , attacking midfielder Filip Marchwinski 19 and striker Filip Szymczak 19 , who will spend the campaign on loan at Katowice. That quartet are a walking advert for the Lech Poznan academy, the training school that the owners have placed great faith in as a link to the community.

Aged just 19, Jakub Kaminski is one of the leading talents in the Ekstraklasa. This is a huge club with a lot of tradition, and our goal is to make people proud and to give them joy, because we are building a European football club, built on players from the region, so our academy is very important. Homegrown players are central to this mission. When they are 24, 25, it is more difficult because the curve is going down in terms of value.

We have sold younger players, some 20 year olds, but for us what is most important is to sell players that are ready to compete straight away. So we prefer to sell to a club like Southampton rather than Chelsea, for example, because we know that in Southampton our players will play and succeed in the Premier League, whereas going straight to a bigger club in England would be much, much more difficult for him. When we get the transfer fee, we invest it in a smaller league.

Tymoteusz Puchacz is the latest Lech Poznan academy graduate to move to one of Europe's big five leagues. Then we can contact other clubs of our size where we see that he can help them. It is easier to trade non-obvious players on TransferRoom. If there are a couple of weeks before the end of the transfer window, you get an injury and you need a replacement, you just put the information into the market and many clubs respond quickly. This can be helpful otherwise you would need to go through agents.

During our trip to the former Borderlands of the Republic we have repeatedly met our compatriots living in extreme poverty, persecuted for their commitment to the lost homeland. With each of our visit we saw on the faces of our compatriots tears of bitterness - their tragic fate is a terrible price to pay for loyalty to the Republic.

Passed by us gifts only marginally compensate for the pain of oblivion to which they were condemned by the Polish authorities. It's cruel oblivion is in stark contrast with what we see in recent weeks as compared to Muslim immigration.

The hypocrisy of the elite and their media officers makes something in us rebels and we have no plans whatsoever to support current activities contrary to the Polish raison d'etat. At the same time clearly and definitely we declare further, enduring support for compatriots across the eastern border.

You can be sure that we will not forget about them. We encourage you strongly to support our initiatives. Scenes like this will probably not be seen Thursday when hardcore Lech Poznan fans boycott the match. Many groups in Europe displayed in the past banners about the refugees situation, click here to see some of them.
