The defeat against Jagiellonia enraged him. “I won’t answer that question for you”
Jagiellonia Białystok sensationally defeated FC Copenhagen in the first round of the league phase of the Europa Conference League. After the match, the host coach did not hide his anger.
Thursday turned out to be a very good day for Polish clubs in the Europa Conference League. First, Legia Warszawa defeated Real Betis 1-0, and then Jagiellonia Białystok defeated FC Copenhagen away 2-1. It is worth emphasizing that the Polish champions were losing 0:1, but they were able to turn the tide of the competition. In the eighth minute of added time, Darko Czurlinow scored the winning goal. There was silence in the stands – apart from the guests’ sector, of course.
Jacob Neestrup furious with the team
Jagiellonia’s sensational win caused the home team to be booed by the fans. After the match, Copenhagen’s coach, Jacob Neestrup, was furious with his players. He pointed out that the defenders had behaved very badly in the last action. When journalists asked who exactly the defenders were at fault, an unusual answer emerged.
– I’m not going to answer that question – admitted the Copenhagen coach. – The last time I answered a question like that, my relationship with the player wasn’t the best over the next few days. Therefore, I think that you need to analyze at home who was at fault so that I don’t find myself in the same situation as in the last case, he added.
Copenhagen is looking for the culprit
Therefore, journalists quickly started looking for the player who had the greatest “participation” in the goal for Jagiellonia. The Danish media indicated that it was the right defender – Giorgi Goczoleishvili.
Neestrup is also criticized because it seemed that Copenhagen had an advantage in the clash with Jagiellonia, but was unable to use it. The Polish champion won a valuable victory in the context of the fight to play in the European Conference League in the spring. Let us remind you that the eight highest-ranked teams in the table will go straight to the 1/8 finals, and the next 16 will compete in the play-offs.
