The Piast showed a lot of competition throughout the days and it is on its own merit it is guaranteed in the final octagonal.

That is precisely why he does not want to stumble on this day. Therefore, we can expect a team playing attack and always looking for the goal. By listening to the final whistle you want to celebrate all three points.
