Fernando Santos cannot be satisfied with his debut for Poland. The team of the Portuguese coach lost in Prague with a score of 3:1 to the Czech Republic. The coach immediately after the game did not want to jump to conclusions. During the press conference, he revealed some details.
Fernando Santos had probably one of the worst coaching debuts in Poland. The White-Reds conceded two goals in the first minutes, and later got a third. Damian Szymanski’s goal did not change the fate of the meeting, which is why the players returned to Warsaw in a bad mood.
Fernando Santos summed up the results of the match Czech Republic-Poland
Fernando Santos prepares the team for the first match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers in front of his own public. On Sunday, he attended a press conference before the game against Albania. Although, as a rule, the topic of such events concerns the upcoming match, the Portuguese were asked about the Friday match en masse. While pointing out the reasons for the loss to the Czech Republic, the coach did not want to place the blame on individual players or on a specific scheme. In his opinion, the blame lies with the whole team. He promises that such situations will not happen again.
“These things are often simplified. If we lose, then in defense, and if we win, then in attack. I don’t like this kind of thinking! These are not independent lines. The defense played well in Prague, the whole team played poorly! Santos said. “The first goal after the throw-in, when four of us did not react. Second in a row after losing the ball in midfield. It was not a security error, it was a team error. And this should absolutely not happen again. Moreover, I am convinced that this will not happen again, said the Portuguese, quoted by WP Sportowe Fakty.
