On Thursday at 20.45 a game which can give rise to the Euro in 2016.
Correspondence from Glasgow
Have fate in their hands and not be dependent on anyone. Do not look back on the results of the other matches do not count goals scored and conceded, does not calculate – this probably dreamed coach Adam Nawałka, when in September last year began eliminations. And today in this situation is his team.
With a good system even draw in Glasgow does not mean that Poland will lose the chances of promotion. But both coach and players say that they want to secure a place among the finalists on Thursday. And do it can only win at Hampden Park. Reasons for optimism and a limb like that are – despite the fact that the Polish team not won in Scotland for 50 years. The most important of them is called Robert Lewandowski.
It was on Captain executives focus all rivals with coach Gordon Strachan at the helm. Scottish media did not notice anyone else, and Lewandowski looks from each newspaper. Island tabloids, as usual, keep your little game. The day before the game they dressed striker Bayern baby rompers and scream in capital letters: “Great kid, went to complain to my mother.” It is, of course, the situation of the first game, when Gordon Greer brutally fouled Lewandowski, and the judge not only showed him the red card, but never noticed the offense. Journalists ask about that situation, Lewandowski is responsible, and have a tasty title that he “complained”. A day like every day for the island’s tabloid press.
Nawałka hounded by Scottish journalist admits that Lewandowski is the best center forward in the world. – For me, this is so – said at a press conference the day before the game at the hotel McDonald. – I know him very well, I know what his strengths. It’s the best number nine in the world.
A coach does not like to go beyond the clichés of expression. When asked about any issue, and so find a way to reduce the number of round and few significant sentences, which tells about the “focus on the next match”, assures that “the players are well prepared,” and also that “the team is doing Filmaster” . Asked about Lewandowski came out but beyond your comfort zone. Although immediately added that counts the whole team.
Concerns about the aggression Scots are treated by the hosts with a contemptuous smile. Strachan He emphasized that the Poles have about 30 percent more fouls in every game and it’s players Nawałki saw yellow cards in the course of elimination (15 and 12 against us).
But when you read statements like Grant Hanley from Blackburn, who explained the Scottish reporters that at the international level need to show something more than just “przebiegnięciem after Lewandowski and kicking him,” you can actually have concerns. But both Nawałka, and the players repeat that, firstly on the aggression hosts are willing, and second, that the outcome of football skills but will decide.
Today we can see the best, as a big beneficiary of the reform, Michel Platini (magnification Euro to 24 teams) is the Polish national team and how important was the victory against Germany in October last year. It is the result of the National Stadium, which is not expected even under the most optimistic scenarios, means that today we could be finalists of Euro 2016. If it were not three points for the match against Germany, we would have a knife at his throat, they were in the table behind Ireland and Glasgow gralibyśmy for life.
Nawałka has remained faithful to his custom. Representation lived in a hotel near Glasgow, among Scottish hills, so that nobody is tempted lights and bustle of the big city. Players and staff have access to a wooded park, and the interior of the Victorian building covered with black tiles and moss growing on it, padded with thick soft rugs, nastrajały for rest and relaxation.
Composition rather, it should not be expected deviation from the rule. When former Poland advanced to the finals of Euro, coach Leo Beenhakker was (in 2012 we hosted, so a place on the tournament not fought in qualifying), and Nawałka member of staff and one of the assistants Dutchman. Then the match, which created a team that was winning a meeting with Portugal at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow. But that parallels end. Then the players won promotion from the likes of Steaua Bucharest clubs, RSC Anderlecht, and the captain Maciej Zurawski in search of a place to play had to go to the Greek średniaka – Larissa. Fans ever dreamed that the Pole will be one of the candidates for the Ballon d’Or. It shows how much Polish football went ahead. In the end it came time to rise to the big event was the expected norm, not surprising joy.
