captain Krystian Getinger about the upcoming challenges and the completed autumn round Krystian, to begin with I would like to ask you how you evaluate the autumn round performed by our white and blue team As captain of FKS Stala Mielec I would like to start by saying that we came out fully motivated for each of the games in the autumn round and our goal was always to get three points There were many very good performances behind us we did not win 3 points or lost a goal in an unfortunate way both I and every player in our team feel a certain lack of satisfaction but we are optimistic about the optimistic about the future let me ask you a little more about the past you played your league match number 400 in the blue and white colours of Stal Mielec The moment when President Jacek Klimek, together with Director Damian Gąsiewski handed me a commemorative jersey and a trophy on the pitch and all our fantastic fans were standing up chanting my name and rewarding me with applause this is where I grew up and where I spread my football wings During those 400 matches there were tears of joy as well as sorrow matches after which you had to get up from your knees and keep moving forward and such matches after which you felt as if you actually had wings and celebrated victory with the white-and-blue fans I always say that putting on the jersey with the crest of Stal Mielec is a great honour but also a responsibility – for the team for the fans and for the whole club and its history which we create Did you manage to get some rest during the Christmas-New Year break It was a period when I was able to spend more time with my family but it was also necessary to stick to the recommendations related to diet and the training schedule I was also very happy to be able to play in the annual Christmas Eve match with our fans So what is there to wish you in the new 2025 May I avoid injuries as much as I have so far then I know there are still many fantastic moments ahead of me with our team it hasn’t been very often that I’ve suffered an injury and I hope that this will also be the case in 2025 The team will soon go to a preparation camp in Spain Last year’s training camp in L’Albir showed that the Spanish direction is much better than training in Turkey In Spain we have much more weather stability which will ensure that we can carry out the training units as the coaching staff intended We have fantastic training conditions there – the pitches are properly prepared before each of our training sessions The fact that more teams chose the Spanish training camp than in previous years only confirms this What do you think this year will be like for FKS Stal Mielec in which we will have to give not 100 but 120 per cent commitment and determination in every game We all know that these will not be easy matches We simply have to show that we are made of steel We need to secure a secure retention for the 2025/2026 PKO BP Ekstraklasa season as soon as possible and then

war spread beyond Ukraine’s borders How long the paratroopers will remain in the country and what comes next for the broader U.S military mission in Europe aren’t yet clear Blinken said Russia’s attack in Ukraine will have implications for a new NATO strategy which is now being developed and will be finalized at a summit in June and the events of the last few weeks will further inform that future,” Blinken said the mission on the ground in Poland so far seems centered on matters more mundane: train Much of the work by the 82nd Airborne is taking place at a Polish army base in Nowa Deba
