Sergi Samper (29) signed at the beginning of August for Lublin engine Pole, with whom he spent one season. The former FC Barcelona midfielder, who later played for Granada, Las Palmas, Vissel Kobe and Andorra, made his debut in a match against Legia in Warsaw.
Upon his arrival, he told the club’s official media: “I spoke with the coach and the sporting director and I felt they believed in me. It is also clear that the club is developing. The path it has taken from the second division to the PKO BP Ekstraklasa “(First Polish) is an amazing story, the training facilities are amazing and the stadium is really beautiful. I think I’ll be very happy here.”
Now, after his debut a month and a half after landing, he revealed something interesting to ‘Sport.pl’: before signing the contract he asked a Catalan player from Legia Warsaw and former Sevilla players: Marc Gual. “I heard about the Ekstraklasa, because a lot of Spaniards play here. I looked to see if anyone had played in Motor before, but I couldn’t find anything. I asked Marc Gual and some other players. They spoke very well about this country and teams , So I decided to go.”
Samper admitted that he had offers from other leagues abroad. He sees the difference in the game in Poland compared to other competitions. “The Ekstraklasa definitely has different characteristics from other countries. However, I am in a team that wants to play from the goal and that is why they signed me. We want to play football and I want that,” he added.
