Myśliwiec: “We Create Our Own Biggest Challenges”
Piast Gliwice coach Daniel Myśliwiec spoke to reporters ahead of the Ekstraklasa fixture against Radomiak Radom. He outlined preparations, squad status and the opponent’s recent developments.
Radomiak’s changes and playing model
Myśliwiec said the coaching switch in Radom has not produced a wholesale transformation. He believes Radomiak’s basic approach to build-up and defensive shape remains similar.
The coach noted that most adjustments are about personnel and detail. He highlighted changes on the wings as the clearest difference.
After the Jagiellonia win and the favourite tag
Piast arrives after an away victory at Jagiellonia. Questions followed about whether the team should now be considered a favourite.
Myśliwiec replied with caution and a touch of humour. He added, “We Create Our Own Biggest Challenges,” stressing that the squad often undermines itself.
Stability and repeatability in performance and mindset are his priorities. The coach wants consistent effort rather than premature confidence.
Goalkeeper situation and team spirit
Attention turned to Karol, who stepped into the starting role during a testing spell. Myśliwiec praised the player’s readiness after limited chances.
The manager emphasised the collective response. He said the team helped him and he returned the favour on the pitch.
Individual accolades were downplayed in favour of group achievement. Respect within the dressing room guided the coach’s comments.
Transfer policy and squad management
Piast has the option to use a medical signing if needed. Myśliwiec warned decisions will not be rushed.
Any new arrival must provide genuine added value. The aim is healthy internal competition, not extra pressure on current players.
Table context and mental approach
The league table remains tightly packed after many rounds. Myśliwiec wants the team to avoid emotional extremes.
He stressed the importance of treating every fixture with equal focus. In his view, season standings come down to accumulated points.
The coach also admitted he once overvalued outside perception. Now he concentrates exclusively on internal work and club conditions.
Pitch, international break and recovery
The playing surface in Gliwice has improved after earlier problems. Better turf may suit Piast’s intended style.
The forthcoming international pause will combine training, a friendly and regeneration. Myśliwiec said the staff will use the break constructively.
He closed with a lighter note about failed attempts to motivate players with extra days off. Negotiators in the dressing room defeated that plan, he said with a smile.
Piast approaches the Radomiak match with humility and growing belief. The coaching staff insists the decisive factor will be actions on the field.
