The Gornik Zabrze Chronicle
Squad25 Dec 2028
Tomasz Loska keeps Gornik Zabrze in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The wait goes on for Gornik Zabrze
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A falling-out at Gornik Zabrze
Thodoros Tsirigotis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Lukáš Sadílek 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.

Motor Lublin take the points off Gornik Zabrze
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

A muscle injury sidelines Tomasz Lewandowski for 14 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Gornik Zabrze will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Arkadiusz Jozwiak answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

No hiding place for Toni Ramón
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Toni Ramón, and the manager let it.

Nobody could get near Roberto Massimo
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
In brief
