Perhaps the most about this representation says that Monday was her normal working day. Players dispersed to clubs and bars staff analyzed Sunday’s match against Ireland. And so strange that the meeting did not take place as usual – on Sunday, immediately after returning to the hotel. – Success? What is success? This is only the beginning of the road – told me yesterday Nawałka.
This is not his team. At least for the stands. At the time of the stadiums Beenhakker was carrying out “Leeeo,” Smuda had “miracles”. Nawałka audience fetowała rare. It was a team Lewandowski, frequented Szczesny, Fabianski, Milik and Mile. A little bit of vision Zbigniew Boniek who thinks that success only at 20 percent. depends on the coach.
But the coach took over personnel plunged into apathy after the unsuccessful World Cup qualifying in Brazil. He found a few players generating brand in European clubs, but the team without forming properties, frail in defense and in attack unwieldy. This representation had come up, find a way to began to play – only and up – to the best of their abilities.
Nawałka decided that its strength should be attacking and free kicks and different. Footballers set in a 4-4-2 system, sometimes passing in a 4-2-3-1, and sometimes at 4-3-3. Without any frills – chosen elements in which players feel the best and that he could improve on short training camps.
This idea is not necessarily to please, there is no doubt that it did not make the team complete. Attack position as non-existent, so there is still often it’s not the Poles decide how the game (only five games to eliminate were more on the ball than their rivals). The coach prefers to players responded well to what I propose rival, and took advantage of his mistakes.
So there is no doubt that the Poles could enter the euro in better style, yet trembled for promotion to the last moment. But today it does not matter. Road to success is a lot of, what counts is that Nawałka found one, even if it is not the best way.
Ponton after promotion
It all started with the game against Germany. But not this at the National Stadium, only a goalless friendly against May 2014. T-founded representation when Maciej Wilusz (now reserve Lech), Rafal Wolski (Mechelen) and Marcin Robak (recently injured). Lewandowski missed and glycans. Joachim Löw issued a third penalty consisting of players competing for a place in the squad for the World Cup. Nawałka then tested tactics were preparing for the autumn match for points (after minor adjustments benefited from it in October), and the players saw that even in Germany can not lose a goal. In previous qualifiers we failed even in San Marino, now stopped the team with the players for tens of millions of euros. Six of the match two months later enjoyed a World Cup gold.
Representation built just such a beenhakkerowym “step by step”. A month after the draw with the Germans, Poles lost against Lithuania, but they won 2: 1. For the first time in Nawałki they turned the match could feel the power in attack – gave up 22 shots, 11 times they came in to score. This grouping was different than all of them. Trainings lightweight, staff played golf, went to the movies, visited the Gdansk shipyard, cheered on the players hand in the match against Spain, flowed dinghies from Gdansk to Jurata, and after the match went to a party. The idea was to integrate the team before eliminations. Robert Lewandowski recalled that when the holidays came to the match with Gibraltar, I immediately saw that in the locker room is going well.
Then something clicked, because it was not love at first sight. Nawałka laboriously gained the trust of the players. At first I changed neither the results nor the atmosphere around the team. Grandstands in Wroclaw began to whistle before the break sparring with Slovakia and did not stop until the end of coach debut lost 0: 2. Later, the players saw that despite setbacks the coach does not perform sudden movements. That is the idea, and consequently it holds. The first months were to serve selection and a series of four matches without a win have not changed. Teams had to play two strikers and although 419 minutes without a goal scored selector persisted in the idea because he felt that Lewandowski needs a partner to hit regularly. And a player who in the last World Cup qualifiers scored only three goals (two against San Marino with penalty kicks), turned scorer in Euro 2016 elimination, which deserved to be at 17 goals (13 goals, four assists). Grosicki would later say that in Nawałki most like his consistency, that “does not change the idea of what the game does not load suddenly to a penalty of six defenders, does not introduce chaos.”
Human Resources Plan Z
Nawałka deliberately stepped back into the shadows. Beenhakker seduced fans in the media, Smuda spoke on every subject, and the current coach of the year does not give interviews. Answers calls or calls back and would be happy to talk to, but asks not to write down his comments as an interview. In the long interview will arrange only “after the success”. Apparently, one of his superstitions. He was silent before the victory with Germany, so why change the habits that have brought happiness?
There’s more. I’ve seen fixing coach with the players the order in which they enter the press conference. When the October grouping Nawałka saw journalists sitting on a bench outside Warsaw hotel staff, very surprised and congratulated them courage. In September, a bus staff squashed because sitting on the same bench man (nothing has happened to him). That coach with the players in the middle is prohibited from throwing back, it is a matter of course.
Superstitions all the more surprising that the coach is doing everything possible to limit the role of chance. He is considered a workaholic and szczególarza scheduler everything can be planned – by ending qualifying tie against Scotland and Ireland thought right after the draw. It was known that Poland will play in Glasgow on Thursday, so training camp on time will be barely one workout. In the first half of last year kadrowicze therefore they practiced twice a day to work out schemes, which were used to finish the qualification.
The players quickly felt the grouping takes virtually without interruption. During the season the coach calls them even once a week, and if something happens – a player limped off with an injury – immediately goes to him. Arthur Jędrzejczyk visited after surgery, to show that he believes in defense of FK Krasnodar, who tore cruciate ligaments.
There is indeed a player who could complain about that coach it ignores, because headquarters watching as many games as you can and necessarily all in the league. Even if the court Chasing runs and Crown, which has long been not given representation of anyone. Nawałka and his colleagues look at the players some space in the starting XI, those who for a long time did not deserve the appointment, and potential newcomers. Occurring in Poland and abroad. All of them.
During those trips creates a ranking of selector. It exists physically on paper. 11 items on each of several players. Sometimes it is even seen a hundred players. It happens because the ranking is constantly changing. Staff are collected after each line and incorporates all the changes. It happens that these meetings continue and three days, they start early in the morning and end late at night.
Ranking acts as a purely technical, but brings order, whose previous representations were missing. There is no question that player for the first time invited to the training camp immediately jumped to eleven. He must earn the preseason, understand their role, know the style of play. So that on the pitch he did not look like a foreign body. Michał Pazdan made his debut in the qualifying match with Georgia in June – and this from the first minute – but previously appeared in four preseason team Nawałki. Slawomir Peszko unexpectedly appeared in Ireland, but he checked him coach a year earlier. Then he stopped sending vocation, because 30-year-old winger stopped playing at the club.
The problems of employers do not always disqualify. Mateusz Klich and Luke began She was looking for – respectively – the previous and current season on the benches, but the September matches played, because in the summer regularly trained and played in the preseason. Both clubs stranded on the bench, Klich did not return to the team, and was looking for was demoted to the reserve.
The ranking showed that a place in the middle Krzysztof Mączyński deserves. A player of Chinese Guizhou Renhe, then the Vistula even the most celebrated 27th birthday as a reliable leaguer, in Nawałki turned into a full-fledged representative. In the qualifying rounds he played eight games, had four assists. At the end of the fight for Euro 2016 no longer deserve for it to be the most criticized player personnel. More: he was one of the best players in the October matches against the islanders. Nawałka had indeed leave, other central midfielders club stuck in the reserves (Defense Minister) or lacked health (Linetty). Any other coach would need to find your Mączyński.
