Match

Nowhere to hide for Slask

0‑4 against Lechia, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Petr Schwarz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Slask this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Petr Schwarz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Petr Schwarz, and the manager let it.

Squad

Mariusz Malec falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Michał Mokrzycki stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michał Mokrzycki and Slask agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Slask dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

The clock runs on Piotr Samiec-Talar's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

A long bet from Slask on Michal Piatek

He is 16, and nobody at Slask signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

A long bet from Slask on Robert Zalewski

He is 14, and nobody at Slask signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
