Pole to Pole

It is almost ten years since a Polish club made it to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. But Polish fans will be holding their breath when Liverpool FC's Jerzy Dudek takes on his international team-mate and best friend Bayer 04 Leverkusen's Jacek Krzynówek for a place in the last eight.

World class
It may not quite have the same impact as watching former Champions League contenders Widzew Lódz, now consigned to the Polish second division, doing battle with Europe's finest but it is a sure sign that Polish football can still produce world-class talent.

Friendly foes
"We both knew we'd end up playing against each other before the draw was made", Dudek told uefa.com. "We're great friends and it is a shame one of us has to go out."

Cabinet maker
Their similarities do not end with friendship. Both were born in Poland and grew up in small cities and both were on the verge of snubbing a career in football to work in industry - Dudek as a miner and Krzynowek to become a cabinet maker. Fortunately for Liverpool and Leverkusen, two irresistible offers came to the rescue.

Moves abroad
After failing to set the Polish league alight, the duo fled their homeland in search of establishing successful football careers elsewhere. Dudek left GKS Tychy after only a couple of matches for the Polish side, he finally began to flourish at Dutch club Feyenoord. Krzynówek, meanwhile, opted to join German side 1. FC Nürnberg - a move which changed his career.

Dutch magic
Both players were now regulars in Jerzy Engel's fast-improving Polish side who were, at the time, well on course to sealing a place at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan. For the first time in their careers, however, the two were enjoying contrasting fortunes at club level. While Dudek was being named as the Eredivisie's player of the year in 2000, Krzynówek, was trying to come to terms with a life in the German second division.

Bounced back
There was even better news round the corner for Dudek. On the same day Poland defeated Norway 3-0 to secure a World Cup place, he signed for Liverpool, the club he had supported all his life, for €7.9m. Never one to wallow in self-pity, Krzynówek showed impressive self-motivation and was named Poland's best player in Japan/Korea - a tribute to his superb form which eventually earned him a switch to Leverkusen.

Spectacular goals
This season Krzynówek has come into his own. Voted as Poland's finest for the second time, he has excelled in the Champions League with breathtaking goals against Real Madrid CF and AS Roma. Dudek too remains No1 at Anfield and a key figure alongside his friend in new national coach Pawel Janas' side.

Hopefully we can hold on and win the tie

Jerzy Dudek


Head to head
With Liverpool holding an all-important 3-1 advantage, Dudek is in the box seat ahead of the return leg. "It will be a tough game," the goalkeeper told uefa.com. "We were leading 3-0 in the last minute of the first leg but I made an error to let them get back in the tie. Jacek is a great player and would certainly like to score against me but we'll have to see. Hopefully we can hold on and win the tie." No matter what the result, however, the two Poles will give each other a firm handshake come the final whistle.

My bet is Leverkusen will be moving on tomorrow. Dudek is just prone to too many errors lately and Leverkusen plays better at home. Big game for Dudek though , it'd be nice to see him play well in a big game like this.

Since when are they best friends, lol, I hate it when reporters make up crap that sounds nice.

Yeah i know, but im sure they r friends

Did anyone watch Arsenal vs Chelsea, man Fabrecas is a tard, did you see him spit in Ballacks face because he got past him, i thing all his money is goin to his head, maybe its too early to be giving 17 year olds over say 1000 pounds a week.

You mean vs. Bayern. But yea, that was pretty classless. That kid sure is cocky for his age, good on Ballack for not retaliating though, cuz the punk sure was beggin for one.

yeah sorry i was meaning bayern

chelsea v bayern,bring it on! im confident we can do the gerries and get into the semis :D the 2 italian teams being paired together should be a classic,have to say looks like it could be curtains for liverpool :grin: damn shame

I'm down with that, as long as Liverpool and Dudek lose It'll be a good week

Chelsea is in a bit of hot water!

this will be really interesting,if anything it should be morinho who cops for it and not the team,i think it would be unfair to punish the team as hes the one who has been mouthing off!

I agree. But look at what has happened because of this, especially to Frisk. FIFA have to take a serious stand on it to protect its referees.

agree with you on that but being a chelsea fan i hope they dont punish the team as they have worked very hard to get to where they are this season!

Yea that would be a very hard punishment to swallow. But they need to do something drastic, and perhaps this is a way of teaching Chelsea fans (or any fans for that matter) not to do this ever again. Fining or suspending the coach would be a slap on the wrist concerning how serious things got after his accusations. Chelsea should be punished as a team to ensure this doesn't happen again. I don't know if disqualifying them is a just punishment, but perhaps forcing them to play their home match on the road would be more just? Would be sad to see a team lose a title shot because of the thoughtlessness of its coach and fans.

It appears Chelsea need to be punished, their coach obviously doesn't get the message:

This guy just got his team in trouble for running his mouth, now he says he will do it again once the smoke clears?

:roll2:

Sounds like Chelsea will just receive a fine

i think the guy(mourinho) is a brilliant manager but i wish he would just shut the @@@@ up this time before he drops chelsea in it more than they already are!

Fines have been handed out:

But this still is not the end:
