They may not have stars, but they have good players. They score regularly, they are strong, they keep pressing. We must be prepared for a difficult match – says Jesus Imaz before the match between Jagiellonia and Warta Poznań.

“Maybe they don’t have stars, but they have good players. They score regularly, they are strong, they keep pressing. We have to be prepared for a difficult game, but we have to play our part and not let them spread their wings. Warta will come here after winning against Legia, but this is our home, our stadium. They’re definitely not going to be easy. They’re the ones who have to worry about how to find a way to keep me or Marc. We will just want to do our job, as in every game. Of course, I appreciate their class, but let’s focus on ourselves and our strengths – says Spanish striker Jesus Imaz before Saturday’s meeting between Jagiellonia Białystok and Warta Poznań.

“When the season started, I didn’t think about it, but with every goal, everyone around me said I was getting closer to that record. In the end, I achieved it and I am glad that I have permanently signed up in over a hundred years of history of such a great club as Jagiellonia. Where is my limit? To be honest, I don’t think about it. I just want to help the team – he returned to his record of 54 goals in the colors of Jgaiellonia in the Imaz Ekstraklasa

“When my son grows up, he will see that I used to play here and score goals. Will I screw up my record? I will try to achieve this, because the next goals will mean good results for Jagiellonia. For now, I don’t think about where my limit is. Will my photo appear in the stadium and will I be added to the Hall of Fame? I would be very pleased – says Jesus Imaz.

The pre-match press conference could not miss the question about the internal duel between Imaz and Marc Gual for the crown of the top scorer in Ekstraklasa.
“I hope we both win the trophy.” It would be something extraordinary not only for us, but also for the club. But when we go out on the pitch, we don’t think about individual statistics. The team is always the most important. Before the fourth goal for us in the match against Wisła, I was convinced that Marc would finish this action himself. I saw that he was doing well and we needed a goal to close the game and avoid a repeat of Kielce. But he passed to me and I scored. Of course, sometimes in the locker room we joke that we both want to end the competition on top, but on the pitch no one thinks about it – said Jesus Imaz.
