Dawid Kownacki is having a very successful season at Fortuna Duesseldorf. He has made 26 appearances so far, scoring 13 goals and providing eight assists. It seemed that since he is in such a form, he will be called up for the grouping of the Polish national team. Ultimately, Fernando Santos opted for other strikers. They are: Robert Lewandowski, Krzysztof Piątek and Karol Świderski.
Dawid Kownacki commented on the lack of call-up to the Polish national team. “No one called me”
In an interview with Foot Truckiem The 26-year-old player spoke about the coach’s decision. He did not hide that it was painful for him. “I was hoping to get an appointment.” Because when, if not now? I’ve been at my best for a long time, I’m making good numbers, I’m playing regularly and for a long time. Looking at the situation and the competition in the team, it seems to me that I could have expected this appointment. I kind of felt like someone had punched me in the face.
Kownacki also revealed that although he has been in good shape for a long time, no one from the national team has contacted him. “Nobody called me, and I had no indication that anyone from the staff was watching me at a game. The only signal I had was from the national team doctor when I got injured a few weeks ago. I got a call asking what happened and how things are, because I know that every Monday he reported to the coach about the health of the players. Thanks to this, I knew that there was interest in me, but otherwise there were no signals – he added
