00:01Okay, Adrian, you have played in several countries, including Spain, Netherlands, now you're in Poland.
00:07What difficulties, differences have you noticed in Polish football compared with the other countries?
00:15Yeah, nowadays I am playing football in Poland.
00:20The big difference, I would like to say, is the winter conditions that we have here,
00:26because of the cold, the snow, you know, especially in that time, in December,
00:34now starting the second half of the season, you know, about the temperature, the quality of the pitch,
00:43because now mostly are frozen, so I think this is the big difference between Poland and, for example, Spain,
00:51for sure that we have a better weather in that sense.
00:56You played for Corona-Kielce when you arrived to Poland and now you're in Piask-Libice.
01:01How was your adaptation to, not only like Polish extra grasa, because the football is a one part, but also
01:07for a life in Poland?
01:09Yeah, from the football part, I have to say that the adaptation, it was longer than the adaptation at the
01:20normal life,
01:21because the first year in Corona-Kielce was a bit difficult changing from Spain.
01:28From Spain, I was coming from Alcorcon to promote it to second division.
01:33And yeah, what I said, the football is different between Spain and here in Poland.
01:40And the first year was everything, a lot of new things, different ideas to understand football,
01:46the way of playing, more physical, less tactic, I would like to say.
01:54And yeah, it took me a bit more of time to adapt to extra-classes.
02:00But then the way of, what you said, the way of living as a personal part, it was very good.
02:07I adapted very well.
02:09Just accept what I said, the winter you need to adapt at the software also these few months.
02:17But the rest of the year, I was very good, satisfied with my life in Poland.
02:25Everything is fine at the country, also in summer you have a very nice weather.
02:30So everything was perfect with me, with a good connection also between Spain and here with the flight.
02:37So yeah, I can't complain.
02:39Well, what's the secret, Adrian, in your opinion, of course?
02:44Like Spanish players, they adapt very well to the politics.
02:48Actually, also to live in Poland, because it's like two different stories.
02:53But what do you think, what's the most important for what Poland has actually,
02:58what the Spanish people, if they're comfortable?
03:02Yeah, for me, Polish extra-class offers to the Spanish players,
03:07the players that, for example, they don't have a chance in La Liga,
03:12because we know La Liga is a tight league with a lot of competition,
03:17and the clubs and the players, and not all the Spanish players,
03:20they have a chance to play La Liga.
03:23So the Polish extra-class offer is showing yourself in one of the most competitive leagues in Europe,
03:31that you can play European competition, you play against great teams,
03:36a lot of people watching you in your games, because it's a good connection between other countries as well.
03:44And yeah, in the life part, you can find a very safe country for you, for your family,
03:52a cheap country as well for the cost of living, and yeah, the gastronomy, and the people are kind.
04:00So yeah, for me, it's a country that if you come with a bit of open mind,
04:06that maybe you will find or you see things in the beginning that you are not used to seeing,
04:12but if you are coming with a bit of open mind and a bit of a resistant mentality,
04:20then you can adapt very well.
04:22Your favourite Polish dish then? Polish food?
04:26For me, the Jurek soup, that is a kind of traditional soup in Poland,
04:33especially for the winter time when you are trading in minus 10 degrees,
04:38then you go home and you take this soup, it's very nice.
04:42Adrian, right, Piaz Gliwice is really struggling in the beginning.
04:48Now, you've got a good form, beating Legia twice,
04:53wins against Lech Poznań, wins against Isla Plosk.
04:56What do you think is this transformation?
04:58What is the secret of the current performance for Piaz Gliwice?
05:02Yeah, we had to pass a lot of difficult moments.
05:09We had to struggle with a very bad start of the season,
05:14a lot of new players that they came late,
05:18a lot of other players that we were injured, my case as well.
05:22Yeah, we couldn't perform as the club wanted the project, you know,
05:27so we started very bad at the bottom of the league,
05:33and, yeah, it's difficult to explain because we were working hard,
05:37the ideas of all the staff, it was very good as well,
05:42but at the end it's about results, and, yeah,
05:45we couldn't find the good way to get the points, and, yeah,
05:49with the change of the staff that Daniel came, you know,
05:54he has a lot of experience in Estraclasa with Vitev,
05:59and he changed the mentality of the team because, yeah,
06:02we were the same players, but at the end he found the good way, you know,
06:08to touch the point that we needed, and we changed the mentality,
06:12and then started the results game for us.
06:16It's a fact that from the last three months,
06:19last ten, eleven games, we are the top team in Estraclasa, so, yeah,
06:23we are now on the way where we want to be, on the table.
06:29What's your relation, Adrian, with Daniel Mislivius,
06:33and what, actually, how would you describe him as a coach?
06:37Yeah, he's a methodic coach that he likes, you know,
06:42from everyone to do the good work, and I think he finds the good group,
06:50because we are a group that we like to work hard every single day, every week,
06:56that we adapt to the conditions, doesn't matter if the results are bad,
07:01or now in winter that, you know, the pitches are not well, yeah.
07:05And I have a good relation with him because I think he trusted me,
07:09and now it's about, you know, to push him for my place on the team,
07:12because what I said before, I was with the injuries and the change of the coach,
07:17and now we are, you know, in the good shape of the results,
07:21so now I am trying to work hard to put, you know, myself to the service what the team needs,
07:28and, yeah, and try to change the situation and keep going on the results.
07:36If you're just thinking about the Polish extra class, who has been the toughest defender you faced in Poland,
07:45in Polish extra class? Do you have that?
07:50Difficult to say as well, because what I said, a lot of teams are mostly strong as a team, you
07:59know,
07:59as a group, as a way of defending that, what I said, all the games are tough,
08:07are very strong in a physical part, and, yeah, I can say some defenders from Village, from Lechpoznań,
08:17some from Pogon as well, yeah, they have, it's difficult to number one,
08:22but, yeah, you face a lot of strong teams in that sense.
08:27Allian, best luck, hopefully you will come back strong shortly, you're scaring a lot of goals,
08:33and, of course, the Fiasco future can play at the same, in the same form as they're playing the last
08:39couple of weeks.
08:41Thank you very much.
08:42Thank you for your help and for your time.
