After the Poland-France match, Robert Lewandowski’s statement became loud, hinting that the national team’s defensive style does not bring him joy. Cheslav Mikhnevich referred to the words of the captain, who admitted that he spoke about this with the Barcelona striker in Qatar.
After the defeat of the Polish national team in the match of the 1/8 finals of the World Cup, Robert Lewandowski met with journalists and asked about his future in the national team. “The next World Cup is still far away. The joy of the game is needed even in the near future. When we try to attack, everything is different, when we play defense, there is no joy, - said the captain of the white-reds.
Cheslav Mikhnevich’s wards at the group stage played very defensive and unattractive football, and in the match with the Tricolor team they showed themselves from the attacking side. Lewandowski referred to this change in style. “We can’t go from one extreme to another from game to game. If you only think about defense in one match, you don’t even try to attack, then you don’t have a sense of the ball.
