Match

Lech take the derby

0‑2, and no way to dress it up. A derby defeat follows a supporter to work on Monday, and this one will follow him all week.

Market

Rúben Vinagre asks to leave Legia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ottó Hindrich

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

Player ratings

Paweł Wszołek was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Words exchanged at Legia

Rafał Adamski and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Loan watch

Henrique Arreiol has seen enough of Jagiellonia

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Legia, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Robert Moder left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings

Alex Valera leaves them behind him

Shots: 7. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Ermal Krasniqi

Nobody at Legia is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad

11 saves: Ottó Hindrich was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 11 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

Terms done: Jakub Żewłakow is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Pogon waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Legia is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets

An offer of $7.1M for Alex Valera

Legia have gone to Universitario with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Legia walk away from Karim Konaté

$8.7M was the most the club would pay and Red Bull Salzburg were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jonjoe Kenny

Legia asked and PAOK said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Cibalia come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Legia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Zaglebie watching Aleksander Wyganowski

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Legia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match

Legia see off Korona

Three points for Legia, 1‑0 the final word against Korona in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Rafał Augustyniak shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

In brief
