The goal scorer’s conference with Slovakia lasted 13 minutes. Press spokesman in the middle PZPN he asked journalists not to ask about the lost game anymore. – Let’s leave Slovakia, no one will give us any more points. It makes no sense to discuss it now. This is history. As Karol said: there was an analysis on Tuesday, we closed this match. Let’s look ahead to what is ahead, and not to what has already happened – said Jakub Kwiatkowski.
“I can apologize on behalf of the whole team for not thanking the fans”
Linetty was also asked whether he felt confident to be in the top eleven for the game in Seville because of scoring a goal. “I don’t feel for sure, everyone has a chance to play,” said midfielder Torino. Could be clarified: any except suspended Grzegorz Krychowiak and injured Łukasz Fabiański. First of all, replacing the center midfielder could be a problem for Paulo Sousa. There is no obvious substitute after the injuries of Krystian Bielik and Jacek Góralski. Only Linetty, Jakub Moder, Mateusz Klich and Kacper Kozłowski are still in the grouping. Each of them has a slightly different profile, but none is similar to Krychowiak. Linetta seems to have the most common features. – Everyone is ready to replace him – he assured.
