Jagiellonia Białystok, despite a recent defeat, continues its fight for the Ekstraklasa championship, with its star player Jesús Imaz sharing his thoughts on the league situation. The Spanish midfielder, in an interview with Goal.pl, spoke positively about Ali Gholizadeh, who represents Lech Poznań, sparking widespread commentary.

Following their recent loss to Górnik Zabrze, Jagiellonia Białystok sits third in the Ekstraklasa standings, trailing league leaders Lech Poznań by six points. The club from the Podlaskie Voivodeship still possesses mathematical chances to clinch the championship title, though realistically, “Kolejorz” is currently closest to the coveted trophy.

Jesús Imaz admitted to Goal.pl that “Jaga” will not give up and will continue to try until the very end. At the same time, he emphasized that realism prevails in Białystok. For Jagiellonia Białystok to realistically contend for the title, they need slip-ups from their rivals from the Greater Poland Voivodeship.

The Spanish star of Jagiellonia Białystok did not hold back praise for Lech Poznań. He highlighted that the Poznań club boasts a broad and very balanced squad, which is crucial in the championship race. Imaz stated that if Lech ultimately triumphs in the Ekstraklasa, it can certainly be said that they deserved it.

Despite the challenging situation and acknowledging the strength of their rival, Jagiellonia Białystok will certainly not surrender. The team from Podlasie will strive to seize every opportunity to close the gap on the leader and fight for historic success in the Ekstraklasa, hoping for favorable circumstances in the final rounds.
