Report by our collaborator Piotr Girczys (Special thanks also to Ania Kozdron - Clearex Chorzow)

After first day matches of the Uefa Futsal group in Chorzow, Clearex manager Zdzislaw Wolny wasn't happy even if his team won: "We have played a bad match. Worst than we did in the polish league. We could even lost this match, but fortunately we had an happy ending.

On the other side, Iberia 2003 club assistant Beka Kvitsiani told to the press that Clearex is a very strong team and could have some chances to conquer the group, considering that Charleroi Action 21 has now a younger team and players with less experience than in the past.

Tournament introduction by Piotr Girczys

9/10/2005

Clearex Chorzow is ready to fight for second round UEFA Futsal Cup

“We know that Action 21 is one of the best team in the world and that in Iberia there are good players as well. But we have a strong team. Our players are not afraid of anybody . This tournament is the biggest futsal event in Poland in this season” – said Zdzislaw Wolny, Clearex owner, during the friday press conference.

Team from Chorzow has prepared for tournament not only in hall but on the beach too. Clearex won the Polish Cup in beach soccer and lost in final Polish Championship. “There were strange arrangements but we will see… Maybe successful”- said Wolny.

In Polish futsal league Clearex won all three matches played until now, scoring 11 goals and suffering just 3. But the team from Chorzow had many problems to win. Their forwards had many good chances but… they couldn’t turned them into goals as well.

Four years ago Clearex won the qualification tournament in Chorzow, thanks to the triumph over Spartak Moscow and Program Dubnica. It was the first ever edition of the UEFA Futsal Cup, and also the first (and last until now) time in which a Polish team managed to reach the final stage.
