Przemysław Banaszak spoke about the differences between Polish and Uzbek football, his dissatisfaction with last season's game and how he came to "Pakhtakor" (INTERVIEW)

"Pakhtakor", which finished the last season as the champion, is currently holding a training camp in Turkey. Polish striker Przemysław Banasak, who joined the club before the start of the second round of the last season, is showing himself well in this training camp and contributing a number of goals. We found it necessary to communicate with Banashak on a number of questions that we are interested in. You can watch a detailed interview with the attacker below.

- Good evening! My first question is about your current club. First of all, why do you choose Uzbekistan?

- I chose this club because it is the most successful club in the country. I heard good opinions about the club and everything was confirmed.

- Why don't you select European clubs or don't you have any offers from Europe?

- Of course, I had offers from European clubs, I could stay in Poland as well, but the prospect of winning the national championship and playing in the Asian champions league convinced me to change the club.

- Who will invite you to "Pakhtakor"?

- My agents told me that there is an offer from Uzbekistan. I thought it over and answered in the affirmative. In this way, my work was directly connected with your country.

- You were a champion with "lions" last season. How was your impressions?

- I was very happy for my team to win the league, that was the goal and we did it!

- You played in 8 games and scored 3 goals. Were you satisfied from this result?

- For sure I am happy with every goal and assist because it helps to win games. I feel unsatisfied because of the injury that prevented me from finishing the season.

- You had got an injury and you couldn't play your club's all games. Do you think this injury can affect you badly this season too? How serious is it?

- During one of the trainings I injured my foot. The injury has been healed, I have had a good rehabilitation and now we have plenty of time to prepare well for the new season.

- What do you think, how different things you first see in Uzbekistan if we compare it to Poland?

- I don't like comparisons. There are definitely a few differences in the lifestyle and appearance of the city.

- Which league is better, Poland or Uzbekistan?

- To answer this question, Pakhtakor would have to play in the Polish league for a season. Personally, I think we could manage there, although the style of play is a bit different.

- Which clubs admired you most in Uzbekistan except "Pakhtakor" and why?

- To be honest, I've never thought about it. I'm focusing on playing in Pakhtakor and that's all I'm interested in now, of course, during the league several teams played nice football. The fight for the champion lasted until the very end. The league has been interesting for the last few rounds.

- You love one footballer's game and his name is...

- I like watching matches where Robert Lewandowski plays, in my opinion one of the best strikers in the world.
