This is an extremely intense grouping, because the national team must not only tame the mess on the pitch, but also sort out off-field matters and. So on Monday there was a conciliatory dinner – on Tuesday, tactical training on Tuesday, and on Wednesday pre-match activities: first an official press conference, followed by training at the National Stadium. The whole thing took place in the fog of the profession following the defeat in Moldova and following a sharp interview with Robert Lewandowski, in which he honestly spoke regarding the problems of the team and Polish football in general.

– Robert Lewandowski is the best player in the history of Polish football and he has the right to his opinions. He expressed them. I think we have a lot of character in the squad, but in some aspects and match situations we lacked it. At such important moments, we mightn’t control it. But we have a very good team, with a lot of quality and if we believe in ourselves very much, we will also show it on the pitch. I am absolutely convinced of that. I believe that on Thursday we will play a very good match, we will win and we will feel good in the group following a properly done job – said Bednarek and admitted: “On Monday we explained everything, we spent more time together. We needed it.”
Jan Bednarek: “We are honest with each other”
The press conference, however, began with the observation of one of the journalists that Bendarek had recently met with journalists following losing matches followed by victorious matches. This was the case at Euro 2020, when he appeared at the conference between matches with Slovakia and Spain, as well as at Fernando Santos’ first training camp – between meetings with the Czech Republic and Albania.
– May it be so this time as well. But Kuba Kwiatkowski chooses.
“I haven’t thought regarding it,” said a PZPN spokesman.
– I think it’s a coincidence, but I would love for it to continue – he said and once more referred to the ongoing training camp.
– We talk a lot. We are honest with each other, both in the staff briefings and in our Monday meeting. The coaches told us what we were doing right and what we were doing wrong,” said the centre-back. But he didn’t want to go into details. He preferred it to remain a secret. – What is on the briefings should stay on the briefings. We have to be effective in defense and in attack.
Bednarek was relegated from the Premier League last season together with Southampton and this season he plays at the back of the best English league, where the level is naturally lower. “If the coach calls me, it means I’m ready. There are also strong rivals there, it’s a strong league. I do my job, I work hard, I try to be an added value to this national team.
Don’t go back to Moldova. “We will not play this game once more”
And regarding the next match he said: – We want to approach it with a cool head. Play smart. We want three points, it will be useful to turn off the emotions. But I don’t want to go back to the last training camp, because we won’t play this match once morest Moldova for the second time. The team goal is the most important and this remains the same: we want six points following this grouping to improve the situation in the table.
The match once morest the Faroe Islands starts on Thursday at 20:45. After three qualifying matches, Poland has three points.
