Michal Listkiewicz: - Nothing much has happened. Beenhakker: It is a great shame for Poland. Organizer, who is responsible for all this is not suited to this work. If I did something such
stupid as a coach, I would have been sacked
In 77th minute of Polish Cup Final pseudofans of Legia Warszawa started to throw flares into the sector occupied by the supporters of Wisla Krakow. There have been fights, the match was interrupted for 10 minutes.

- This is a great shame for Poland. Polish football doesn't have a good image in the world anyway, do you think that these incidents will improve it? Anyone who was involved in organising the finals, should be ashamed. They could think reasonably and avoid a blame - says Leo Beenhakker. - The choice of the stadium was the first of errors. I respect residents of Bełchatów, I know that Poland does not have modern stadiums, but - for God's sake - everyone knows that there's a rivalry between hooligans of Legia and Wisla, they must be separated. One should be in the sector next to one goal, the others next to the second one. And here they couldn't be separated, because the sector next to one of the goals was being repaired. No, but someone has decided that the match would take place in Bełchatówand supporters sat next to each other ...
- I do not care whether it was Polish Football Association (PZPN) or PPPO [to decide about this], it shouldn't happen! Above all, I hear yet complaints of Wisla's coach Maciej Skorża that Wisla players who didn't manage to accomodate on the benches, had to sit in the stands among hooligans. This is just unthinkable! I say this, but the organizer, who is responsible for all of this, is just not suited for this work. If I did something such stupid as a coach, I would have been sacked. And it would be proper thing to sack me in such case. But here I see only shrugs: "It just happened."
