Fernando Santos could be confused after the last match of the Polish national team. Although he acknowledged that his idea for the match against Moldova was good, the result proved otherwise. The Portuguese was supposed to arrive in the country in August. Unexpectedly, it will appear in the coming days.
It is difficult to find positive moments in the match against Moldova. As part of the qualifying match for the European Championship, the Poles lost 2:3 in Chisinau, although they won 2:0 before the break. Never before has Byalo-Chervoni lost to an opponent with such a low position in the FIFA rankings. The compromising oversight is constantly mentioned in the media. Although Fernando Santos returned to this match after some time, admitting that the idea was good for him, his implementation turned out to be disastrous for the players.
Fernando Santos will fly to the country for the Polish Super Cup
Santos, like the players, went to rest after the June international window. The 68-year-old was originally supposed to fly to Poland in August to prepare for matches against the Faroe Islands (September 7) and Albania (September 10) as part of UEFA EURO 2024 qualification - especially important after the last defeat.
According to the portal Interia, the Portuguese decided to change his plans. In the coming days, it will appear on the Vistula River. Together with assistant Grzegorz Mielczarski, he will go to Saturday’s match in Czestochowa, where Rakov will play Legia Warsaw in the Polish Super Cup. The Ekstraklasa champions will approach the meeting after a modest 1-0 victory over Flora Tallinn in the first leg of the first qualifying round of the Champions League. In turn, Voiskowy, the winners of the Polish Cup in 2023, has only friendly matches behind them so far. Kosta Runjajic’s team performed very well in them, winning all of them.
The alignment of the Polish team in qualifying for EURO 2024
After three qualifying matches for next year’s European Championship, the Polish team has three points (all for the victory over Albania) and is in the penultimate place in the Group E table. The Czech team is in the lead with seven points.
