Wisła Kraków broke a series of eight matches without a victory in PKO Ekstraklasa in great style and defeated Stal Mielec 6-0 in the sixth round. It is worth noting that she joined the match with a squad that was heavily depleted by coronavirus.
Coronavirus and injuries excluded Rafał Janicki, Adi Mehremic, Łukasz Burliga, David Niepsuj, Rafał Boguski, Gieorgij Żukow, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Nikola Kuvelji, Stefan Savic and Aleksander Buksa from the game, and additionally he was injured in the match of the under-19 team. quarantine. Wisła, however, imposed its style on Stal from the first minutes and after ten minutes it could have been 3: 0. Skowronek players had to wait a bit for their goals, but they were scored anyway. In bulk. Wisła equalized its highest away victory in the history of the Premier League, and also equalized the highest away victory in the league in the 21st century
The player of the match can be called winger Yaw Yeboah, who scored two beautiful goals and an assist. 19-year-old Patryk Plewka, who impressed with his individual rallies in the middle of the field and passes that opened the way to the goal, also recorded the captains’ performance. An extremely successful debut was also made by Felicio Brown Forbes, who on the last day of the window went to Wisła Kraków from Raków and immediately scored a wonderful hit when he threw the ball into the goal with his heel and from a roundabout.
The non-obvious hero of Wisła Kraków. It wouldn’t be 6-0 without a stopwatch
Maybe the next sentence will sound bizarre in the face of the result of 6: 0, but in our opinion, this result would not have been possible if it had not been for … Wisła Kraków center defender – Michal Frydrych, who from the moment he entered the Polish league showed that he is a footballer who could become a leader practically every club we have. Hundreds of comments from Czech fans appeared under the post in which Slavia Praga announced the departure of Frydrych to Poland. Interestingly, we found virtually no negative opinion about the 30-year-old. Everyone thanked him for his heart, commitment and very important goals for their club. After two games in the league, it is slowly becoming clear why he had such a status in Prague. Looking at the social media of the club in Krakow, you can already see that in Krakow Frydrych quickly won the sympathy of fans.
After Arkadiusz Głowacki ended his career in 2018, Wisła Kraków became a team with a very leaky line of defense. For two years, the club was unable to create a new chief of defense who would be able to command the entire defense. Wisła lost a huge number of goals, and the defensive game could be a headache. It seems that these problems have just become a thing of the past, because Wisła played the second game in a row in the league with zero behind. Both of these matches have one thing in common – the excellent disposition of Michał Frydrych, who just joined Górnik in the match. The Czech took the defensive game to a completely different level. He is confident in his moves, reads the game perfectly and can perfectly find himself in the opponent’s penalty area. He showed it already in the second match in the new team, because it was Frydrych who put the ball into the goal of Stal Mielec after a very interesting throw from the car. Young Dawid Szot, who is just learning to play right-back, also looked much better with him. And the Czech kept telling him on the pitch and corrected any mistakes.
Frydrych’s eloquent behavior, Sadlok could feel like a junior
Frydrych is a cash transfer. Wisła paid Slavia, as we hear, good money. There are even talks of up to 200,000 euros. It doesn’t really matter how much, but you can already see that it was worth it. In his career, Frydrych played as a right-back for a long time, and in recent seasons he played more and more in the center of defense. There he also competed at the level of the Champions League with clubs such as FC Barcelona and Inter. His transition to Poland can therefore be called surprising. But he himself claims that he wants to play, and in Slavia subsidized by Chinese millions it became more and more difficult.
At the league level, Frydrych looks like a stopwatch from a completely different league. The situation from the 79th minute of the match was also very telling, when Wisła was setting a wall with a free kick for Stal. At one point, the second and very experienced – Maciej Sadlok raised his hand to possibly protect his face from hitting the ball. The Czech saw it immediately and pulled Sadlok’s hand down so as not to provoke a possible penalty kick for Stal, and we are talking about the situation with the score 6-0. These are the nuances that distinguish seasoned top-level footballers from those who may not have that imagination or are simply unaware of the potential danger. Although this behavior in the case of 31-year-old Sadlok could simply surprise.

Wisła Kraków will play the next match with another newcomer and it will be against Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała. There are many indications that coach Skowronek will have more players at his disposal who will return after injuries or quarantine.
