Cheslav Mikhnevich: I regret throwing Zelinsky
Cheslav Mikhnevich knew that the meeting would not be easy, and from the very beginning he was aimed at ensuring that the French played the game. As it turned out, our players found several weak spots in Les Bleus and were able to threaten their goal. The coach recalls the moment when Piotr Zelinsky failed to change the score to 1:0 in favor of Poland.
“We knew it was going to be a tough game. We wanted to play differently. We had a few moments when we held the ball and it could have ended in a goal. I regret Piotr Zelinsky’s hit and that rebound. The worst thing that could happen to us is the gate to the locker room. As a result, in the second half, France could feel confident, which they did, - said Cheslav Mikhnevich.

- It’s time to take stock. Today emotions. I would like to thank the players and staff for the work they have done in preparation for and during this World Cup, as well as the fans for their support.

Cheslav Mikhnevich sees potential in our team
The coach of the Poles noted that the Polish team has great potential and chances for a bright future thanks to young players. He added that there are several things that the Poles should practice.
