Polish players after four qualifiers Championship with three wins and one draw occupy first place in group D. Christopher Kuzak asked Jerzy Engel – former coach “red and white” – to assess the performances of Adam Nawałki charges.

Krzysztof Kuzak: Ladies trainer, remember that the coaches recently had such a successful opening elimination and has put fans in so good mood?
Jerzy Engel: Let’s say that I was one of those who started the eliminations so well with his representation. Let us remember that it is not only our thanks. Of course, we as coaches meet the most important role – selection, preparation, we are the most important leaders of the team, but everything always in the hands, feet and hearts of the players. They create a team with a group of players who must finally grasp on the pitch and are able to devote themselves to the club. They learn what it is the national team, they will understand that this is the most important team representative in Poland, that are the driving force that actually pulls not only football, but all Polish sports. And such results as at the moment mean that all fans in Poland feel strongly otherwise, feel valued.
KK: The valorisation, with high hopes that it will manage to qualify for the European Championships. Of course, if it is 40 percent what you need to do.
JE: At the moment our team is in first place in the table with a three-point advantage. And this is important because it is a comfort that makes even a draw in the away match is not a tragedy. It is simply a game that can move us forward and let it worry about the others who are behind us. At the moment we only have recourse, and the others have to chase us. We have succeeded. Escaped from the first match and with two games before the end of the World Cup moved up to the first team from Europe. It was extremely nice, extremely nice. And now it is again a fantastic situation, when leads the Championship qualifying group, which is the easiest way to go, because it falls almost half of the competing teams. But that’s not the point. It does not matter who you’re playing, no matter how it looks. Key to the game. The team in addition to being the first, playing very good football. Football offensive football “yes”. Misses the goal. Playing as an equal of the toughest rivals. We could see this especially in the German team could, we managed to outplay them. Thus, the same superlatives, the same praise. Deservedly so. Adam Nawałka, Robert Lewandowski and the whole team now collects the same praise.
KK: Robert Lewandowski when he was the captain of this team has matured incredibly. That’s how it behaves on the pitch, it was dismantling the ease with which the Swiss defense. This is truly a World Class footballer.
The JE We believed that he will be playing in the national team at this level. I Lewandowski, and all the other players – they have learned this representation. They already know what you come to the matches of the team that this is not an exhibition match for humans. Only that it is a game that you have to win at all costs, because we all believe in it and when they come to see the victory of the team. And this is a great victory for Adam Nawałki who could muster the possibilities that lie dormant in them. And I think that this representation will give us much joy, because it is an interesting team that will be at once better. These are young players who can only progresować.
