ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz made excellent use of their home track advantage in the clash with ARGED MALESA Ostrów Wielkopolski. The guests’ coach did not hide his frustration after the match, but at the same time maintained a fighting spirit, believing that this loss can be made up.

Talking after the match with the guests’ coach, it was clear that the players from Ostrów Wielkopolski missed the break after the tenth race. The well-adjusted hosts delivered three precise blows to ARGED MALESA Ostrów Wielkopolski, which greatly complicated the situation for this team. – The fourth series went dramatically. We lost it 14:4 and the match became one-sided. The hosts showed that at the home track they are very strong, and we didn’t manage in these conditions – he said.

The competition was missing, among other things, points from Sebastian Szostak. The club’s trainee was often a key player in the red and white deck of Ostrów, but this time he completely failed in the competition. In four starts, he scored only one point. – While in the youth race we overdid the settings a bit, from the next one it was already fine. Then it got nervous, there was an unnecessary switch to a second motorcycle, which was completely misaligned with the Bydgoszcz track. The last race looked good, but Sebastian doesn’t like this track and makes simple mistakes here. That caused him not to bring home those two points with a bonus – he assessed his protégé’s performance.

Is the 18-point lead recoverable? In Ostrów Wielkopolski, there is a fighting spirit and the team’s coach believes it can be made up. He knows, however, that it will not be an easy task.  – It is recoverable, but we certainly made our lives harder with this match. It won’t be an easy task, because this is a team with very good players. We have a more balanced squad, but will that be enough to cover that many points? It’s hard to say. We certainly won’t give up. A mishap happened to us at the worst possible moment. The ball is still in play, only the first half is done. We have time to think and draw conclusions – he revealed.

Also after observing and feeling the emotions of the players, one can be convinced that the speedway riders of ARGED MALESA Ostrów Wielkopolski will do everything to defeat ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz by at least eighteen points. Who will advance to the final of the METALKAS 2. Ekstraliga will be decided on Sunday, September 8, at 2:00 PM
