Tomáš Vestenický: I want to get into the starting eleven
‘I played 45 minutes with Zagłębie and I felt good so I think I’m up for a whole game,’ says Cracovia forward Tomáš Vestenický.

‘I played 45 minutes with Zagłębie and I felt good so I think Im up for a whole game, says Cracovia forward Tomáš Vestenický.

- Last weekend you played 45 minutes against Arka Gdynia. Do you think you seized the opportunity?

- I think so. I wasnt half bad, quite on the contrary - it was one of my best performances here at Cracovia. However, we really need to start winning games. Were not happy about the result against Arka as we had a chance to grab three points. The draw doesnt give us anything.

- In the autumn you didnt get many chances to play. You must be hoping it will change now!

- Of course! I really want to get from the boss more opportunities to play. In the first part of the 2016-17 season I was fighting for a spot in the 18-man squad, right now I want to get into the starting eleven. Everyone wants to be in the rhythm of playing a game every week so it is of the utmost importance for me that I get a chance to play and show my skills on the pitch. Maybe I will be given an opportunity to start the game on Monday against Zagłębie.

- Youre used to coming off the bench. Are you fit enough to play 90 minutes?

- We have been training since the 9th of January. All of the practice session were supposed to prepare us for the second part of the season. I played 45 minutes with Zagłębie and I felt good so I think Im up for a whole game. Now I have to wait for the coach to decide if he will give me a spot in the starting lineup.

- Cracovia have won far too few games so far. What is the problem?

- Its hard to say, we usually play really well but lose games. And then against Ruch we didnt do good but we won. We really need to start winning points so Id rather we wouldnt put up beautiful performances if thats what it takes. We need to do that if we want to make the top eight.
