Marked for Mateusz Grudziński

Crisis
Squad26 Oct 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Daniel Stanclik
51 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Miedź Legnica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match24 Oct 2026
6 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.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Up for the corner, and Jakub Serafin delivers — 7.88
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Jakub Serafin scored, was marked 7.88, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.
Match24 Oct 2026
ŁKS Łódź left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ivan Lučić, and the manager let it.
Squad26 Oct 2026
Words at Miedź Legnica training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Miloš Jovičić is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Loan watch26 Oct 2026
“I did not go to Liepaja to sit and watch. I want to come back to Miedź Legnica and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
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 1‑3 Dawid Zielinski left the room before anybody could ask which.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Back issues

Uneasy
Squad19 Oct 2026
58 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Miedź Legnica lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match14 Oct 2026
Widzew Łódź go through and Miedź Legnica go home, 0‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Squad19 Oct 2026
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.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Match17 Oct 2026
No end in sight to Miedź Legnica's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Miedź Legnica has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Miloš Jovičić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Loan watch19 Oct 2026
“I did not go to Pogoń Siedlce to sit and watch. I want to come back to Miedź Legnica and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
Something was said to Andrii Andreichuk and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mateusz Grudziński trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Steady
Squad24 Aug 2026
115 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Miedź Legnica lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Market24 Aug 2026
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Miedź Legnica, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market24 Aug 2026
The offer from Znicz Pruszków for Oliwier Szymoniak was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Mateusz Grudziński was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. KAA Gent have kept their man, and Miedź Legnica go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match22 Aug 2026
It finished 1‑0, and it was Mateusz Bochnak’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Miedź Legnica.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Miloš Jovičić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Dawid Zielinski, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
