Will this footballer lure fans to the stands in Gdańsk? Tomasz Kaczmarek, the white-green coach, has already said he hopes his team’s play will be a magnet for fans, not rivals. Podolski is undoubtedly a very good footballer with high skills, but he does not show it on the Polish fields so far. In six league games, he provided one assist and received two yellow cards. He became more famous for two brutal fouls, for which he did not receive a red card. Today much more is said about this than about his ball game.

– I expected that Lukas’s game in Górnik would not be perfect from the first match, but it gets better with every match. His football quality is great and he shows ideas and dedication on the pitch. It may not be visible in numbers, but he is a footballer who can decide the result with one action – Tomasz Kaczmarek, the coach of Lechia praises Podolski and his abilities. – Lukas cannot have a seat on the field, he must be under our control. He quickly notices many things on the field, plus his punch, left foot. You don’t lose it. I know there are discussions about his fouls, but I see football quality in him. It will be a big challenge to prevent him from communicating with Jesus Jimenez, Bartosz Nowak or Piotr Krawczyk. Three of these four players play and form an offensive at the highest level in our league.
