What did Lupashko say?
In an interview with the media before the match against Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki, coach Vladyslav Lupashko said: 'Young players have our trust, but they need the support of the fans. We, as a team, including the entire coaching staff, showed them that they have our trust.'

About Bartosz Szczepankiewicz
Lupashko said that Bartosz Szczepankiewicz looks good in sprints and in training, but is still being monitored by the medical staff, so he cannot yet say whether he will be available for the Saturday match.
About young players
Lupashko emphasized that young players are young, talented, but still have a lot of work ahead of them. We, as a team, including the entire coaching staff, showed them that they have our trust. In recently played matches against a very demanding opponent. The fans also need to support them, because making their debut at a stadium like this and for a club like Lechia Gdansk comes with a lot of pressure.
About the team's captain
Lupashko said that he wanted to make a decision regarding the captain's armband once the squad was fully assembled.
About the goalkeepers
Lupashko said that the situation with the goalkeepers is similar to the situation with the outfield players. Szymon has more experience, Kacper is adapting very quickly and has an interesting goalkeeper profile. They are completely different goalkeepers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. I still have to make that decision. I am very pleased with how they have adapted to the demands of our new goalkeeper coach and are performing at the highest level.
