Everything is fine. August is complete.

Lech Poznań, coming off two painful domestic defeats, capitalized on their one-man advantage and could have clinched a spot in at least the Conference League by midnight on Tuesday. Raków, prepared for international competition for years, is increasingly eager to sign Polish players, and the transfer of Oskar Repka further indicates to Marek Papszun that this approach can yield immediate results.

We no longer have to panic about teams from Slovakia or the Czech Republic. Legia Warsaw outperformed Baník in football, and while the Ostrava team is no match for the giants of Prague or Pilsen, in many respects, Poland's top teams don't have to fear their neighbors across the border.

Jagiellonia is currently drawing on limited European experience, but they're drawing conclusions quickly. We don't yet require eliminating teams from the top five leagues. But the earliest we'll face them will be in the final round of qualifying, or even in the league stage. For now, we want to compete effectively against teams from our leagues. Teams from our "block," or teams from Scandinavia, Austria, or Switzerland, must be obstacles we know how to overcome. Even if we drop the bar in one or two matches.

Despite the plague of puzzling injuries, is Lech's squad secure for the intense autumn? It seems so, although after the 7-1 defeat to Breidablik, many experts believed that "Kolejorz" had lost their chance to defend their title. A potential Europa League match with two extra matches in January would be an even bigger burden than the Conference League. Last year, Legia lost two December matches in that competition, and in the league, they lost in Poznań and dropped points in Mielec in four rounds to end the year. However, Goncalo Feio didn't rotate his squad for a long time during that period. The side effects didn't take long to show.

Is Edward Iordanescu still playing with his predecessor's lineup and not complaining? The team's structure from Łazienkowska Street can be based on old patterns, so the Romanian is waiting for the "newcomers" to be fully ready. Especially Mileta Rajović, on whom "millions of coins" were spent. Last season's number one striker, Marc Gual, needs to seriously consider his fate, because at the moment, not only Ilia Shkuryn but even Jean-Pierre Nsame are higher up in the pecking order. Those who wonder why, despite supposedly no one in Warsaw wants the Cameroonian, he appears on the pitch in every match are mistaken. If you want to "push" him into someone's shoes, you have to show him off. Since he was the top scorer in the Swiss league several times, he still needs to know how to handle the penalty. Yesterday, he did just that, and at such a crucial moment. Even without speed and intensity, certain things cannot be forgotten.
