There would be no only goal with Lithuania (1: 0), if not for the ricochet. In turn, the gross ineptitude of our rivals, who in the 27th minute, simply put the ball to Karol Świderski into an empty goal. In the second half, the Panathinaikos attacker completed a doublet, after a nice action performed by white and red.
Karol Świderski’s goal after the bizarre mistake of the Maltese:
How to enjoy after such a victory? It all depends on the perspective chosen. Before this grouping, would we accept such a result and the course of the match with Malta with a kiss of the hand? Well, no. But after such feats as in a meeting with Lithuania – yes.
Such a win will allow you to calm down the moods around the staff a bit. We have not accepted the end of the grouping long ago with such relief. Last time probably – ho, ho! – In November. However, some things will not go down to the background. Especially if they concern the most important footballer.
Karol Świderski goes with Malta for the second time:
Lewandowski gate
We have such times that if you don’t show off yourself, nobody will praise you. So I could ask, winking with this eye, who announced it in advance that Lewandowski would give up the match with Malta? However, I have no satisfaction. Because this matter left a lot of Absmak. No wonder, since it was played like this.
I understand the bitterness of the fans, including Mateusz Borek, who did not leave the Captain Dry Nitka on the decision about the absence of the absence. I also understand the perspective of Przym and Lewandowski.
However, there is a lack of consequences in playing the whole case. The coach admitted at a post -match conference that the contract with the captain was such that he would enter the field if the situation required. But is it really that?
Continuation of the material under the video
Lewandowski changed Krzysztof Piątek in 66 minutes. Poland was leading 2: 0 at the time, and Malta no longer had the strength to bite us. So it seemed that if it happened at one goal, then not under the one guarded by Łukasz Skorupski. It really was. For what purpose did Lewandowski appear?
Since he entered the pitch at a moment that was not sensitive at all, he could apparently appear on it at any other moment. Especially since the day before to the question of journalists about health he answered that everything was fine. And later he completed the entire pre -match training.
This harmonizes with the information of Tomasz Włodarczyk. – It is not related to his health – the captain is in full strength. I don’t know if he will play – he will enter the field only if necessary. “Lewy” will be an emergency option today. His presence on the bench can be called managing his own body – told the editor -in -chief of matches.
So since Lewandowski decided to save himself for Barcelona matches, his choice. But don’t be surprised to be angry with angry fans.
There was simply a proper strategy in playing this case. No specific information was provided in advance, and when the milk spilled, there were attempts to relieve the message by adding some Post Factum stories.
And just before the match with Malta, and just after the Terle, he pointed out that Lewandowski came to the staff with pain. And that praise him for that. Ok, if it was so, I buy it. Only such words should fall at the beginning of the grouping. Then everyone would accept it with a much greater understanding than such a translation after the fact.
It is known, however, why this information came only on the day of the match. If it happened earlier, more than 55,000 would not register at the match against Lithuania. fans, and Malta – about 10,000 less. There is no denying that a large part of them bought tickets for the Monday match because of the captain.
I met with the opinion that Lewandowski’s entrance with Malta was a nod to these 45,872 fans who, despite the hopeless match with Lithuania, appeared at the next meeting. Let us leave such stories where their place. On the shelf with fairy tales. Because it so happens that you pay for tickets at the time of purchase, not at the exit from the stadium.
Lewandowski turns his nose
In this whole situation, the bridle and Lewandowski walked under the hand. But shortly after the end of the match their paths forged.
– I won’t powder. A lot of work awaits us. You have to say clearly. From the smallest elements to schemes, to playing. However, you have to answer some questions that we had before this grouping. Ok, we have a base, but it’s time to get to work and improve our game – Robert Lewandowski not so much said these words, which – as it is commonly described now – he burned out.
It is hard to find a more clear review of Probierz’s work. This time the selector – unlike the previous match – will not be able to cover the fact that Lewandowski’s words were out of context. It is a pity that TVP issued a conversation with the captain after the coach’s press conference, so he could not be asked about this very clear declaration.
Meanwhile, the selector still insists that the match with Lithuania was not as hopeless as he was widely assessed. I don’t know why the Printer rehew the cutlet from three days ago. It would be really better to drain the curtain of silence over that compromising performance.
On the other hand, however, you have to give to the prone that he has been reflecting in some way. His words at the conference after the match with Malta were not as buzzing as on Friday.
– We will do everything to improve the game of the team. We are not satisfied with everything. I would be a hypocrite if I said it was great and great because we scored six points. We are struggling with problems. I also understand journalists that this criticism is. This is a natural way of things – said the coach (the quote came in).
There is some light in the tunnel. But it can still be an oncoming train.
Because suddenly you can expect progress in the game of national team if it has not happened in the last year and a half? Nobody will probably be surprised if we make fun to the end of the group stage of these eliminations. We will probably enter the play -offs, because our biggest rival (the Netherlands cannot count) did not show off again. After 1: 0 with Malta Finland only drew 2: 2 with Lithuania.
We will probably also win the semi -final of the play -offs. In the finals we will be waiting for the path because of the torment, largely depending on the rival, whom the fate will assign us. Only that this happiness can be helped. You just have to want.
Printer never concealed that the results, not style, count above all. “The dust will fall and we will have three points,” he said on Sunday, reference to the match with Lithuania.
This approach has – of course, from the point of view of the person who cultivates it – the basic advantage: it can be verified only after the fact. Because if the team were evaluated through the prism of the style of play, its potential could be assessed quite precisely.
The pronter had no choice
We won the match with Malta thanks to the individual skills of several players, not some great strategy. First of all, what we have already trumpeted were confirmed. Since the Printer was counting on an adequate replacement for Nicola Zalewski, it was obvious that there was no better candidate than Jakub Kamiński. Especially since the left flank is its natural.
And what a surprise! It turned out that players look best in natural positions. After a good change against Lithuania, this time Kamiński has a nice passion from the beginning to almost the very end of the match. Only a goal was missing for a perfect performance, which he should have scored after passing Świderski.
It is also good that Prdyk accused the idea of pushing Jakub Piotrowski as a potential deputy Piotr Zieliński. In the long run, this boy would be simply inhumane.
So the Printer solved the problems he created heroically. It remains to be hoped that during subsequent groups, injuries will no longer harass the leading characters of this crew, i.e. Piotr Zieliński and Nicola Zalewski. Then this plane can even fly on an autopilot.
