Krystian Bielik’s Candid Admission to Blues Teammates
Krystian Bielik, the captain of Birmingham City, recently made a candid admission to his teammates that he felt ’embarrassed’ by his performance in their recent defeat to Shrewsbury Town. The surprising 3-2 loss to bottom-of-the-table Shrewsbury was a tough blow for Bielik and the team, marking one of only two defeats in their opening 16 league matches this season.
Bielik opened up about his struggles in the game, telling Blues News before their match against Stockport that he did not feel physically well and was not himself in terms of positioning on the pitch. Reflecting on his performance, he expressed his disappointment, saying, “I felt like I was embarrassed by the performance in that game. My body felt weak, the pitch was soft, and my legs had no power. It was a very difficult game for me personally as a player.”
Bielski’s Redemption
Despite the setback against Shrewsbury, Bielik and the team showed resilience in their next match against Exeter, securing a 2-0 victory. Chris Davies, the manager, made a strategic decision to play Bielik at right-back for the first time, a move that paid off as Blues looked more solid defensively.
Adapting to a New Position
Bielik embraced the challenge of playing in a new position, stating, “I kind of enjoyed it, and it was something new for sure, especially when we did not have the ball.” His versatility and adaptability on the field proved valuable as Blues secured another 2-0 win against Stockport with Bielik once again at right-back.
