I don't know where this is from, was posted on a Lech Poznan forum:
June 2011.16-year-old Karol Linetty participates in specialized tests organized by the Academy of Football Coca-Cola Cup.Of the ten most talented players in Poland reaches far the best result.Organizers rozczulają over his abilities, even comparing it to Leo Messi.Moments after the test to Linettego comes Robert Lewandowski.- You have a great talent.If you will support it with hard work, you'll be great - said in private, "Left" and hands him his shirt.
Three years later, they meet again, this time as partners in the field.81. minute friendly match with Lithuania.Lewandowski has a convenient opportunity to scoring a goal.Most of these situations strike ends on target, but in this case he decided to give the ... boy, who recently handed over his shirt.Linetty varies with dedication shot and after a while rivals emerge from oppression.19-year-old has failed, but no worries.It has support Lewandowski.
He lost the final match and took the cup
Night after Polish Cup final.Around 1:00 the phone receives Elizabeth Linetty.- Mom, I'm going home.In an hour I should be.I have only one request.Prepare me pork chops - € says Charles depressed.Requests could no longer fulfill, because all the shops around for a good few hours were closed.On the second day of welcome ... the neighbors took care career: - In the garden of one of the families of friends wyprawiono picnic.A neighbor called us to come with the whole family.Several people threw into the cup for Charles.Gift came to an honored place in the home showcase.When my son saw it until zdębiał!He says to me, "Mom, but I still do not win."It was at this point does not matter.Importantly, where he came through his hard work and how much fun it poses to all of us.
Damasławek, a village in the eastern region of Wielkopolska.A little more than two thousand people.Karol Linetty is the local pride, the person against whom it is impossible to pass by.- I remember he came back here before Christmas.Probably he was forced to implement a training plan prepared by the staff of Lech.He ran the piece of paper in his hand, but only when it got dark, he could train.During the day, each accosted him, everyone wanted to talk and ask for a chance to win the championship Lech Polish - tells us one of the residents.In a conversation with a friend until races on the question of which of them the last time he saw a young Linettego on the street.
On Wednesday, around 20:00, Damasławek deserted.A few minutes later, "Kolejorz" game with Górnik Zabrze in the penultimate round league.- Really, when it is hard to see the match Lech living soul on the street.I nerves can not watch matches of Charles front of the TV, so look out the kitchen window and the town, as if swept.Empty!After impressed Charles with Legia krzyknęliśmy out loud.At the same moment we heard in several neighboring houses also shout with joy - adds Mrs. Linetty.
What this young done now ?!
The ambitions of local klubiku of Damasławka reach a continuation of the class constituency.The Falcon pupil's talent grew louder on the occasion of the appointment to represent the circle of Pila.Scouts Lech immediately after the match won number of the parents.- She came to me Linetty you and says, "What is he doing ?!Lech want it!I do not know what now.I get phone calls, send in letters, and he is only 12 years "- he tells us Kazimierz Kazmierczak, the first coach Charles.- It was the first such case in the village.With us no one knew what the hell is!Sir, the papers gave some sponsors.They said that they would be 100 zlotys a week Karol pass.Well, yes, but who knows if the boy life is not wasted.After all, it is full of crooks.I said that this is the need to go to a lawyer, because we do not help.And so you Linetty done.I put this out there for a total of no trainer by profession I'm not.Retired instructor.Talented already passed through several Damasławek, but I was sure that Charles make a career.On the stadium he was of two kilometers, and on the training followed by raising the ball.Most important, however, it was that the family of the young stacked in your head!
Although the house Linettych not poured out, the parents decided to take a chance.From the sixth grade they had to deliver his son to train Lech.The two sides did over 150 kilometers, frequently jumping up early from work.- There was no way we gave advice every day podwozić Charles, hence ridden for two or three workouts per week.Is it lacked money?When you see a child the joy and sparkle in the eye during class, do not look for the money - he says with clear emotion Elizabeth Linetty.
This situation, however, could no longer continue.After a year of commuting young moved to Poznan high school and lived in the dormitory.So, in this famous boarding school, which heard the whole of Poland, and all thanks to roznegliżowanego Drewniak and the company.- The high school was the most difficult period - adds Mrs. Linetty.- The fact that we did not have the money to train the Charles in Lech, is the least important.To this day, as I recall this moment, until my heart it becomes.I remember a moment like today, when I closed the door behind him from his room in the dormitory.Charles had tears in his eyes, me too it looked to cry, but I had hard approach to the situation."It was your decision.You wanted it, so now fight for their ".All the way from Poznan to Damasławka I could not utter a word.After all, he was still a child.
At the start of the boy from the village was given a hard time well - known as elders, especially when yet familiar with each other.He was the raisins in a group, for each new.Internat was for him as military service.It established a hierarchy among the boys, and he had to survive.Younger had their suffer.Several times he called us that this is the categorical end and we came after him.He overwhelmed with homesickness and colleagues from the countryside.Once we were there, we decided to have one more chance.The boys accepted him, because in the end they realized that without him on the pitch would fail.
The group is silent, since elementary school non-stop has something to prove.- Class Charles was not the easiest.It was her - to put it mildly - a couple of guys who had something to say.He was one of those grzeczniejszych beyond that a more feisty group wanted to dominate.To him, however, they approached only with great respect.Certainly significantly affected also his football skills - say teachers physical education from primary school in Damasławku.- Charles had never disliked anyone and too much is not spoken, but from childhood he's something that the group wanted to follow him.For every break of the ball before running out of school, and after a few seconds the boys appeared with the whole class - adds Linettego first teacher, Alina Matysiak.
Playing the entire
Debut in the first team Lech lived in October 2012 on the occasion of the friendly match with Hamburger SV."Kolejorz" won 2: 1, and Mariusz Steed was no longer any doubt.Linetty was ready to play in the league.Half an hour in the match against Wisla, and already the third meeting from beginning to end.Legia rival was.- The most we experienced his debut with Hamburg.When the final whistle was running in our direction, I saw in his eyes that flash, pride and joy.It was then that he has fulfilled his dream - says Elizabeth Linetty.Premier permanently greeted his greatest talent, but the Charger was limited in exploiting the potential of a player.The main task was to protect Luke Linettego balusters, which in itself is ridiculous, because baluster in his game is still a typical insurer.Receive, accept, play forward.- In fact, from the trainer Charger Charles was such a player to the middle line - you agree Linetty.More freedom in the game he got from Maciej Sheep.- When we saw him speeding through half a pitch on goal Legion until we were shocked!Where is he?Is it actually Charles in the penalty box ?!- Says 20-year-old mother.
Linettego goal turned out to be a symbolic change of guard in Polish football.This after the equalizer Lekhs believe that the Polish championship is within their reach.Young in great style Vrdoljakowi picked up the ball, in football it humbled and ran half the pitch as on his own.And yet it was only his second goal in the league.
But the road to this year's championship (someone is still doubt?) Was embellished with a wave of criticism.Deserved?- When I found out yet that Lech lost to the Blue, it was a massacre.On this match I was his brother's funeral, everything was beyond me.After the game I called to Charles and said, "Sonny, but what is this trouble to win against them at home?You are Lech, the date of the council. "I did not go for a rematch, too little time has passed since that day.Had they lost, and I look zobaczyłabym Charles, that is quite'd just fall apart.After the game came the daughter with deep relief in her voice she said only: "Mom, we won!We play at the National, "- says mother footballer.- Do you hurt my comments after the first meeting?No one knew what took place, in addition to Charles played with the injury and struggled with the disease.There was no choice but to somebody to play.Others give it just the way they see.Sometimes, however, players move their problems on the field and you do not know what they are, evaluate the player only after what will show during the match.
