Cheap leather is not for sale. Michal Leathers is fighting for a place in the national team at the World Cup
Poland national team: Jakub Kivior had a great match against Wales
The second thing that is good for us is the form of Jakub Kivior. If in the match against the Netherlands he looked a little depressed, then in Wales he was just a professor, and it was this young man with more experienced friends who gave us the most calmness in defense. In addition, he has proven that he can throw the ball, which is extremely important in the system of play that Mikhnevich prefers.
Another thing - Robert Lewandowski, even if he does not shoot, is still dangerous. A perfect pass by Karol Swiderski was the highlight of this ugly match full of fouls and dirty games. If the Barcelona striker creates situations for his colleagues in this way, and we win in the next games, then he will probably come to terms with the fact that he himself did not score.
The scorer also deserves two words, because Swiderski begins to lead in the fight for a place next to Lewandowski. And that could also be the reason Mikhnevich is abandoning his vision of playing with two attacking midfielders and betting, according to the captain’s preferences, on two strikers.
And finally, Wojciech Szczesny and Piotr Zelinsky. The first defended as if in a trance, showing that he was still number one. Zielinski is the only one who can say that he had two good caps in September. He created, protected and threatened. We want to see such Zelinskys more often.
On this list of pluses should be closed. There are still many shortcomings, and over the next two months, Mikhnevich must come up with a plan on a piece of paper how best to hide them.
Poland squad: Grzegorz Krychowiak fails again
The hardest part will be to fill the hole in the middle of the field. Grzegorz Krychowiak is distinguished only by his number. Because the “10” on his back is simply not good for him. The midfielder has been playing terribly for a long time, and it is quite difficult to expect that something will suddenly change and Krych will charm us during the championship.
Mikhnevich’s warning. “There is no room for error”
The problem is that not only is Krychowiak out of shape, but other players who can play in this position are in a weak position. Szymon Żurkowski played poorly against Wales, Karol Linetti played hopelessly against the Netherlands… Mateusz Klich has problems at the club, Christian Belik is just coming back from injury… Pink is not.
To this is added inaccuracy, a small number of created situations and a few more things.
One can only hope that Mikhnevich will find a magical way to somehow glue it all together. Otherwise it will be bad. Because Mexico and Argentina play much better football than Wales.
