Celik sacrificed the league to play in the national team. That’s what Cannavaro told him!

At the meeting with Chile, the selector bet on a partially reserve team. For example, Robert Lewandowski did not appear on the field for a minute. Another pillar of the team – Camille Glik – played 45 minutes. However, this was not the result of any health problems, but rather of prevention. – I feel good, for the past 2-3 weeks I have trained 100% in the club. I could have played at least one more league match, but I didn’t want to take risks, I preferred to be healthy when I came to the national team training camp. Coach Cannavaro fully supported this decision, and also advised me to give up one or two league matches in order to bring the best benefit to the national team, – Glick revealed.

After the match, the experienced defender was also asked if the Chileans feel good about the Mexicans. In PZPN’s assumption, the team from South America had to resemble our first group opponent in style of play. – Honestly, I haven’t watched the Mexico matches yet. We will have time for this in Qatar, and each of us will have a video ready. We will definitely know all the details about the rivals, – assured the footballer.

Finally, Glick pointed to this year’s little balloon of expectations. In recent years, the pressure around employees has been much greater. Now is different. “The more wind blows in the eyes of this national team, the better for us. In previous years it was different, and the balloon of expectations was much bigger. I like situations where no one expects us and we can show our quality later.

The Poles, with the exception of Mexico, will also face Saudi Arabia and Argentina in the group.
