KRAKOW, Poland. Sept 6 (PS) — Wisla Krakow fans for quite some time argued that their team needs a coach the likes of Dan Petrescu, who will force the players to their increased effort and run plenty throughout the match.

It is such a coach that could be Robert Maaskant.

How Petrescu's adventure at Wisla ended everyone remembers well. He was expelled from the club after a large number of players complained about him to club owner and president Boguslaw Cupiał.

He left, then took over the little Romanian club Unirea Urziceni, won the national championship, and advanced to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.

"When I lead Wisla, the players frowned when they had to dish out a strong, comprehensive training. They walked up to me and said they will complain about it the club president Cupiał. They said that I was an executioner, and this is not how they should train. Cupiał committed a serious mistake here. He believed that they train too hard, and got rid of me at his first opportunity." Petrescu told press behind the scenes of his dismissal.

Maaskant will also not go easy on the Wisla players. Especially with breaks during training confined almost to a minimum.

"Because in modern football what matters is the constant movement of players and the ball," the Dutch coach explains.

The press now wonders if the Dutch coach in the next Ekstraklasa league match with Jagiellonia Bialystok will play the traditional formation of 1-4-4-2, which was played by Henryk Kasperczak's Wisla, or risk the game with a 1-4-3-3 system, which has tested positively in recent scrimmage matches.

Maaskant convinces himself, however, that the formation is not crucial.

"You can have fun in the passes and say that someone plays like that, yes, but it is not essential. My players must run," says the new coach of Wisla Krakow.
