On Wednesday, August 31, midfielder Yevhen Konoplyanka finally managed to score his debut goal in a Cracovia jersey. LKS Lagov suffered from the blow of the Ukrainian.
Evgeny KonoplyankaKonoplyanka, after missing the match of the Polish championship against Warta (0:2), appeared in the second half of the 1/32 Cup final game against the representative of the fourth division of the country. Already in the last seconds, Evgeny set the final result - a 3:1 victory and a pass to the next round.
The publication Gazetakrakowska analyzed the game of the ex-leader of the Ukrainian national team. As you can understand, journalists are in great surprise from the realization that a player with such a track record took part in such an ordinary duel.
“Evgeny Konoplyanka scored a goal against LKS Lagov — doesn’t that sound surreal? Just six months ago, if someone had made such a prediction, they would have been declared crazy. And it is true. The Ukrainian took advantage of this opportunity with great composure.”
Experts note a clear lack of physical condition of the left winger, emphasizing the need to provide him with stable match practice.
“In general, he helped the team in the second half. He needs to get in shape in regular matches, because that's what he misses the most. Usually he is either replaced or injured/sick. He is in dire need of constant playing time, ”the publication summarizes.
Recall that this season, the ex-midfielder of Dnipro, Sevilla, Schalke and Shakhtar has three matches for Cracovia. His contract runs until June 30, 2023.
