Cheslav Mikhnevich surprised the press conference. He told the story of Wojciech Szczesny
Compared to the meeting with the Netherlands, the actions of the Polish football players finally demonstrated purposefulness and determination. They bravely fought until the very end and were able to hold the ball longer. After the game, Robert Lewandowski said it was a great team game, but there was still some room for improvement. Cheslav Mikhnevich was of the same opinion.
During the press conference, the coach of the Poles praised his wards. This group included Wojciech Szczesny. The Juventus goalkeeper defended himself with the same enthusiasm. He was sensational, definitely the best on the field. - I am very glad that Wojtek helps us in decisive moments. So it was in the match with Sweden. It is no coincidence that he plays for Juventus and is one of the best goalkeepers in the world,” said the 52-year-old, quoted by Przegląd Sportowy Onet.
The coach said that from the very beginning he was convinced of the goalkeeper of the Old Signora. Even though he recently got injured. He also added that Wojciech Szczesny sent him a photo of his injured leg and assured him that he would be ready. After a while, he spoke about the amazing scene in the toilet after the match against Wales.
- We know Wojtek, he has been in the team for many years. At present, every match in the Polish national team is very important for him. It shows. He is very focused. He, too, is relaxed at times, it was evident not only in the situation with Gareth Bale. When I went into the locker room after the game, I thought the toilet was on fire. Smoke flew. I heard he’s there. - Wojtek, what’s going on? - And … the water is washed off, - said Cheslav Mikhnevich and then turned to the translator sitting next to him. “You don’t need to explain it,” he said.
