The Polish national team’s final pre-match press conference during Euro 2024 was certainly not the most cheerful of the tournament. Michel Proppers and Robert Lewandowski answered journalists’ questions.
First, Lewy spoke about his injury and how difficult it was for him to be on the bench when he couldn’t help the team on the pitch. – It was a difficult moment. I couldn’t be part of the team, I trained individually, even I can say it was my own personal drama. I helped in the locker room and in away training, but from a football perspective I couldn’t help. Now I am 100% ready. Although it is a little late, tomorrow we will do everything to win – said our team leader.
He was also asked about the departure of the most experienced players: I lived many beautiful moments with Kamil Grosecki in the national team. He is an extraordinary personality and I can only thank him for what he did as a player, but also as a person. With Wojtek I won’t speed up yet. I think these titles will not be achieved. Wojtek is not yet at that point in his career and age to think about such things. I talk to him every day. We have more than just a bond on the field. And for me, 34 years is too young to end now. We always need players who make a difference.
There was also a question about the future of the captain in the national team. But here the answer was clear and obvious. – I have this fire inside me. No one from the outside can make this decision for me. This national team really has a future. Something has happened here. There are young people who come and want to play. It wasn’t enough here, but let’s face it, we were in the group of death. The coach and staff are doing a great job and every player will continue to improve – said the 36-year-old.
-I’m ready to play from the start. Mentally, I’m preparing for 90 minutes, but I’m coming back from injury, so we’ll see how it goes during the game. – Lewy declared that he was ready to play the entire match.
Michel Proppers seemed invisible to the assembled journalists for the first twelve minutes or so, but he finally received a question about the medical condition of our staff. – Taras Romanczuk is not fit to play. I hope it’s not serious and he won’t be ruled out of Jagiellonia’s first matches. The rest is ready – pOur coach admitted.
-I want us to be brave. The most important thing for us is to maintain the pace we want to play at throughout the match. If we had played 135 minutes out of the 180 minutes we played, we would have been very satisfied with our performance. This is a strong team. They haven’t sold their potential yet. I will not leave this path. Tomorrow against France we will also play offensively – He is very consistent in his choices, and on Tuesday we will see how his plan looks compared to the runners-up in the world, added the 51-year-old Probers.
