& gt; & gt; & gt; Poland – Germany 2: 0. “White-Red” defeated world champions & lt; & lt; & lt;
The Germans, who in July won the World Cup in Brazil, created a lot of convenient situation to get a goal, but lacked the effectiveness and very good performance was defensive. Wojciech Szczesny several times saved his team from losing a goal, Kamil Glik once again showed off successful interventions.
White-Red turned out to be in terms of effectiveness excelled. They actually only two chances to goal scorer, both used. In the 51st minute the keeper Manuel Neuer beat Arkadiusz Milik, and late on the second goal has made substitute Sebastian Mila after an attack on Robert Lewandowski.
After the game, fans inflicted ovation winners, thanks for the selfless attitude, and great ambition players Adam Nawałki stressed, inter alia, German coach Joachim Loew.
Result form a goal, not statistics
It was the first match in 14 years, in which the Poles played with current world champions. Before the meeting, you could feel the atmosphere that lent belief in success. Germany is in a phase of reconstruction, came to Warsaw depletion of injuries, Joachim Loew had also come to terms with the loss of captain Philipp Lahm, who decided to give up representative career.
As expected, from the first whistle dominated Germany. World champions ran the game and dictated the terms of this meeting. Poles defended wisely and looking for their opportunity to counter-attack, but lacked the accuracy to threaten the goal Neuer.
Post-match stats show, he looked like the game – the whole meeting Poles gave 5 shots on goal. Germany – 29th Possession is 67 to 33 per cent in favor of the visitors. Statistics, however, is not always the determining factor – in the most important numbers, talking about goals, on the side of the Poles It showed 2, on the German side was the 0.
Therefore, it is worth afford not to interrupt the joy and euphoria after the great result.
– We played after the current world champions. And for a few weeks no one will mention statistics cast by both teams shots. What matters is the result, which went into the world. Yes it happens in football, when you do not use the opportunity. Polish national team enjoyed a historic success – said Radoslaw Gilewicz, a former player of clubs, among others, German and Austrian.
Poles have with each other in this match very much left on the pitch heart and showed a lot of commitment. Germany had to stand up to fight first of all, and that in no way can our representatives refuse.

“We can play with the best”
– I wish that there was Tuesday’s match against Scotland, thanks so we could enjoy defeating the Germans. We showed that we can compete with the best. I hope that the next meeting will play an equally great commitment. I do not think I had to defend hard shots, because the hardest blocking defenders. Most of the strikes were directed at the center of the goal. Surely this match will improve the atmosphere in our team and among the fans. Hearing the national anthem at the end of the meeting, passed me shivers on the back. Even to this moment was worth it to play the game – said Wojciech Szczesny after the final whistle.
Polish goalkeeper deserved praise, as Kamil Glik, the captain of the Italian Torino, who repeatedly saved the team in difficult times. Announced before the game winning goal after it, and although this scenario is not checked, then certainly he has no reason to complain.
– We should be pleased with this victory, but at the same time tone down the mood, because on Tuesday waiting we probably even more important meeting. Saturday’s game showed that in football anything is possible. We were preparing for him with deep faith in success. We knew that, despite the weakness German team was still the favorite. For us it was important that managed to take advantage of situations that we created – Glik said.
Germany after the match did not try to look for excuses, agreed that in their game lacked effectiveness.
– In my opinion we played a very good game all the time We dominated. We had a few opportunities, but the biggest problem was that we could not use them. Of course it is annoying that the rivals had two chances and scored two goals. The result is negative, but I am convinced that as such we will continue to work, it will come victory. I do not believe that the Poles were dangerous on counter-attacks. Maybe in the last five minutes, but other than that I felt that in this way have caused us a problem – said Toni Kroos, the best player in the visitors in the meeting.
Qualifying for the European Championships in France in 2016 until the started, and joy after the match with Germany will not, unfortunately, a lot of time. On Tuesday, our representatives will face with Scotland, again at the National Stadium.
