After a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic, the Polish national team played a friendly match against Latvia and won 2-0 after goals by Przemysław Frankowski and Robert Lewandowski. Michał Probierz’s team did not play perfectly, but a big advantage of the match was the breakthrough of Lewandowski, who had not been in the squad in the previous two matches. After the last whistle, the captain of the national team tried to summarize the match and the entire training camp.

Robert Lewandowski pointed out the biggest problem of the team. However, there are positives after the match against Latvia
After the match, Lewandowski gave an interview to TVP Sport, where he looked at the winning match with optimism. Immediately, the captain of the White and Reds analyzed several aspects of the game and conveyed his conclusions to the fans.
– That was the plan, to start well. We created chances and had the opportunity to close the match early. In the final minutes there was more space on both sides, we lacked control and finishing. Maybe we wanted it too much. A match like this is important, we created chances, that was the first step. I hope it will be better in the next matches, Lewandowski said.
However, there was also a critical approach from the FC Barcelona player. He pointed out the biggest problem of the national team, which at times gave up the initiative to its rivals, played very chaotically and got lost in seemingly simple situations.
– Sometimes it happens that you want to calm down too much. There was a lack of taking a shot and creating a finishing situation. We played offensively, but we didn’t take risks. There was a lack of continuity in breaking the opponent and scoring. This was material for analysis to improve what was working. This cannot be changed in one day, says the 35-year-old.
Finally, the captain of the national team summed up the entire training camp and is apparently satisfied with it, despite the lack of promotion to Euro 2024. – I will tell you honestly what the training camp and training looked like. With smile on face. I try to enjoy being in the frame, not to force myself to prove that I have to do something. I’m happy to play and be here – concluded Robert Lewandowski.
Now the Polish national team will play in the play-offs to advance to the European Championships. In the semi-finals, Michał Probierz’s team will face Estonia. The clash is scheduled for March 21 at the National Stadium.
