Legia.Net – Legia Warsaw – Ihor Charatin: Crisis? Everyone is guilty. From footballers to the president
– How was my transfer to Legia? Everything happened very quickly. I was called up in Ukraine in Kazakhstan. Away game meeting. Just before departure, he informed me that he had an offer for me from Legia Warszawa. I was skeptical about it – there was very little time for this window, and I was flying to Kazakhstan. I did not believe that all the formalities were completed on time. The flight to Kazakhstan takes about 5.5 hours. When he landed, he called me and said: “Listen, the clubs have already reached an agreement and we only need your consent. If you agree to the transfer, you have to have to.” When I got to the hotel, I talked to the sports director of Legia Warszawa, then to the general director of Ferencvaros, and then I consulted with the family. It all took about three hours. I decided that I wanted to join Legia and I flew to Warsaw on the first flight. I have undergone medical tests now and by contract.
– In ferencvaros I felt good, but a moment in which you had to go. On the one hand, I really wanted to stay, but on the other hand, we didn’t get along with the management. To this it should be added that coach Rebrov left and the spores of change in the club were getting ready. I decided it was a good time to change, repair.
– Why is Legia, the current Polish champion, currently in the penultimate place in the competition training? This is a good question, but there is no single answer. Let’s start with the fact that I came to the transition at a time when everything changed in the band. I cannot change the changes so that in such a club there will be such great changes in such a short time. But it happened. It must have come from ten new, new ones, and it has changed. One coach was changed, the second one, and then the other. It is all visible, the permanent team that was stopped. And then the crisis began. But you have to manage. I’m sure we’ll come out with this post.
– When it comes to entering the Wola and Polish league, fans until the transition. Fans in Poland are strict and very lively in their opinions. I have noticed that this is the case all over the country. There are beautiful and modern stadiums in Poland. There are good fans and nice stadiums all over the world, but in Poland the stadiums are simply beautiful. During the matches, they are filled with fans to a large extent. As for the level, it can be decided in the game. Poland is in second place when it comes to the intensity of the game. I just don’t remember if it’s second place in the world or in Europe. In any case, it is second only to England. How I heard about it, so as not to hear immediately. Polish League and intensity! When I moved, the intense mood felt on your own skin. each team has its own training base and thus has the possibility of solid work during which the emphasis is now placed on Here. I quickly understood why these players are so strong and can run so much. You will fix yourself during the match. About the Polish league, it can be said that there are no great teams here that are classy and different. Weaker than now, differ in details, they all have a similar class. Each company with everyone else. We created the penultimate place in the trial, and this year the winter Polish champion. Imagine what the crisis is like when the team that was not so long ago the champion is now in the penultimate place ?! If successful, however, that number of matches can quickly climb to the top of the table. To a very interesting league.
– Regarding the repeating situation. All of them identify themselves very much with the club and experience what is going on in it. But in Legia it can be seen in a special way. The atmosphere on the fan side is always hot due to the very loud and spontaneous cheering. When we were returning from the match against Wisła Płock to the training base, a group of 20 or 30 fans stopped us. We realized that the situation was not fun. They started getting on the bus one by one. Nobody expected that. The first to enter started screaming loudly. I felt like a hostage. The guys in masks came right behind him. They walked slowly on the bus and then started screaming. Able, everyone stopped. Thought there would be some shit out of this. On the same strokes two. The police arrived in the reference state, the guys left the bus. I admit that I did not know how you agree? Speak out? To answer or not to answer?
– In the situation we have today, everyone is to blame. Everyone should win the blame on themselves. There shouldn’t be something like this – ah, it’s not my fault or my case. I’m serious, everyone is won from the players to the president. I understand the concerts. You have to try. These results will be the best. Everyone is very much up to what is happening and they feel very strongly about it. Now a new coach has arrived. I think he can give a good direction to improve the situation. With God’s help, he will be able to arrange everything so that it will be okay.
