A larger fragment of the trainer’s speech appeared. – Just before the game, Igor Lewczuk had a fever, but as we had no one to replace him, he tried to play.

– It is suitable for a meeting of the League Committee – Mateusz Januszewski from Ekstra Stats wrote quoting Michniewicz on Twitter.

First explanations from Legia. “Lewczuk after the warm-up had 36.6”

There are also the first explanations about the performance of both players in the meeting. – Lewczuk had a temperature of 37 before the warm-up, and 36.6 after the warm-up. Pekhart did not report anything before the match, and during the break he said that he felt strange and did not taste the drink he was drinking – wrote on Twitter the report of people associated with Legia, journalist of “Gazeta Wyborcza”, Radosław Nawrot.

– Each player has the temperature tested before the match. It was no different in the case of Igor Lewczuk. One of the measurements was about 37 degrees. It can hardly be called a low-grade fever. We checked it a few more times and each time the result was at the normal level. It was the same after the game. It happens that after exercise, players have an increased body temperature. In the case of our defender, the measurement was perfectly normal. (…) We approach the whole situation calmly and react quickly. I would not jump to conclusions. With exertion, the nose is sometimes blocked, making it worse. The whole situation with Tomas Pekhart was more about disturbance than total loss of sense. It is also crucial that he did not present any symptoms related to the coronavirus – Filip Latawiec, a doctor from Legia, spoke for TVP Sport.

– Incomprehensible. The trainer’s honesty is also puzzling. He doesn’t realize what happened or what is it? – wrote the journalist of TVP Sport, Maciej Łuczak. There was a storm among the fans after the match. they write about “unnecessary statements from the coach”, “a bizarre decision to leave players on the pitch” or “deliberately endangering not only their players, but also the referee or the opposing team”. They demand punishment for irresponsibility Laws.

Legia is to play another league match on Sunday, November 8. He will then face in a hit, home match with Lech Poznan. Its beginning is scheduled for 15:00.
