Does the Retiree Save the Eagle? He's almost 50, but he "loves to rock"!

Holta raced for second league PSŻ Pozna last season, but could not find a new employer in the November transfer window. He patiently waited for his chance and got it.

“We want Ron to be with us and he wants to ride for this team too. We are entering a phase of the season where you need security to achieve something. One injury can put us on our backs – said a few days ago, Eagle coach Marek Šilak, in an interview with the official GKSŻ portal , polskizuzel.pl.

“Our condition is not terrible. We won in Poznań and Ostrow. If we beat them at home, we will get six points. We also have a chance to get a ROW bonus because we didn’t lose much there. We still have a lot to do in this league. This team is in the game. For now “Only Valopaz is sure of his safety. The remaining seven teams can qualify for the finals, as well as fall into the second league,” added the coach of the Łódź team, which is currently 4th in the 1.LŻ table, but the pressure in the table is so huge that they are hardly separated from each other. The last team with two points.

What could the 50-year-old offer H. Skrzydlewska Orłowi in this situation?

“It’s hard to answer that question because we don’t really know what the Eagle is going for. It bothers me a little bit, because when I was leading teams, I did it differently. I set clear goals, and sometimes I screw myself up. I think that’s how it should be. In professional sports. The fans should know exactly what the team is fighting for. The players too. Meanwhile, in the case of the Lodzians, we don’t know why Holta came up. Is it a relegation battle, a good speedway into the middle of the table, or something else? – said Jacek Frątczak, a former extra league coach.

Holta still has potential!

– If it’s just a matter, as coach Celak says, of securing the team in case of injury, then Holta will definitely come in handy. In the case of fighting for higher goals, it becomes difficult to assess the usefulness of this player. We don’t know what his position is. I personally like him very much. There are some stereotypes about his personality in the environment, I once evaluated him differently, but thanks to our cooperation in Toruń, I changed my opinion about him. Sure, the injuries a few years ago slowed him down a lot, but I think he can still drive at a good level and I wish him well.

– He’s still a player with potential, but he’ll only show it in certain track conditions. I mean both the surface and the track geometry. If Flemming Graversen’s engines get him out, he’ll score points on a wide track with drivable surface. This is a highway racer who, colloquially, “loves rock music” – Frątczak’s assessment.

Holta will have the chance to make her debut tomorrow, when H. Skrzydlewska Orzeł takes on the competition favourite, Enea Falubaz Zielona Góra. – I don’t think that even with Holty’s help, the people from Lodz could win this match. There are no captains on this team who can win rounds on a regular basis. Zielona Góra has a definite advantage in potential. Even the little ones are starting to do well. The fact that they have a longer break in league matches shouldn’t knock them off the pace either. Firstly, they took part in foreign leagues and youth competitions, and secondly, they had some time to rejuvenate. These breaks can be very beneficial. Another issue is the Lodz track. Since the hosts lost to a weak team from Gdańsk, it is difficult for him to hide the secrets of a team with non-league aspirations. It’s a big and wide track, on the second turn it’s very similar to the one in Zielona Góra, where you have to go to the curb and then get out. That would be good for the Vallopaz players, Friczak concluded, who should have about 50 points on Sunday.
