Wojciech Szczêsny saved a penalty in the 45th minute match with Saudi Arabia still with the score 1:0 for Poland, thanks to which he became a hero. However, not everyone was happy with this turn of events. The cameras captured the reaction of the Emir of Qatar, evidently disappointed after the intervention of the Polish goalkeeper.
Eloquent reaction of the Emir of Qatar to the defense of Wojciech Szczęsny
Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is not only the Emir of Qatar but also the owner Paris Saint-Germain. His fortune is estimated at $2 billion. The head of state, where the World Cup is being played this year, sat in the stands during the clash between Poland and Saudi Arabia. The video shows how the Emir initially stands up and waits with bated breath for the strike by the Arab representative, Salem Al Dawsari. And when Wojciech Szczęsny saved a shot and rebounded, Al Thani sat down disappointed and put his hand to his face.
The PSG owner greatly regrets Herve Renard’s lack of goals for his team. This is even more unexpected behavior, as it has long been known that Qatar and Saudi Arabia do not have the best relationship with each other. It recently turned out that Saudi fans had limited access to World Cup broadcasts. As you can see, Qatar’s most important person had football emotions.

Szczęsny, in turn, has delighted the Italian media, who are closely observing what is happening on the pitches of the World Cup. It is no different in the case of the Polish national team matches. Especially since the Polish team includes a very large group of players who play on Italian fields. “Santo Subito” – wrote “La Gazzetta dello Sport” about the Polish goalkeeper.
– He gets a lot of money for what he does, but of course I congratulate him on a fantastic performance, because not only him but the whole team showed character, and the penalty he saved was a big round of applause. It seems to me that to achieve some success at the World Cup you need to have a classy goalkeeper and we have one… Grzegorz Krychowiak, a colleague from Szczęsny’s team, said after the match.
