Polish football players must recover after a painful defeat by the Czech Republic. According to former national team member Tomas Klos, Fernando Santos did not complete his homework. In addition, the football expert pointed out the huge problem of the white-red team, which has been in our team for years.
On Monday, March 27, the Polish national team will play with Albania in the second match of el. to Euro 2024. In his debut, Fernando Santos had to recognize the superiority of the Czechs, and the white-reds were already losing 0:2 in the 3rd minute. Thanks to this result, Poland’s fatal streak of no wins in their coaching debut continues and doesn’t seem to end. Recall that the last coach whose team won the first match was Janusz Vujcik. It happened 26 years ago - 09/06/1997 against Hungary, with whom we won 1-0 after Krzysztof Ratajczyk’s goal.
Tomas Klos: Fernando Santos didn’t do his homework
In an interview with Przegląd Sportowy, former Polish representative Tomasz Klos stated that Fernando Santos and his staff were not personally and tactically prepared for this meeting. “Having put up such a line-up, they did not discover America, and playing in this match, we even rolled back,” he added.
When asked if Fernando Santos did his homework, the former footballer answered in the affirmative. - We lack a leader in defense when Camille Glick is injured. Janek Bednarek has the most experience of any center back but I don’t know if he has the predisposition to be a leader,” he said.
Tomasz Klos: This problem has been around for a long time
Tomasz Klos admitted that he did not understand one thing. “Our players cannot transfer their club form to the national team. The role of the coach is to identify the best qualities of the representatives so that they embody them on the field, because we all know what each of the members of the national team can do and present at the club,” he continued.
- Today this problem does not exist. Players’ belief that they can play on the international stage, i.e. in the national team, probably too small, because they do not show even 80 percent. their skills, he concluded.
