In the Netherlands, they believe in Polish youth. Will they go to the national team with Vitesse?
It remains to be hoped that by November Mateusz Klich and Christian Belik will be in better shape, and Szymon Zurkovski will start playing regularly at the club. Otherwise, Mikhnevich will have to solve this problem differently.
2. How to free Zelinsky and Levandovsky
Each coach thinks what to do to make Petrek play in the national team, as in the club, these are the words of Mikhnevich from the conference immediately before the match with Holland. Zielinski played very well against Orane. He twitched, tried to speed up the action, play combinational actions with Lewandowski, but … he could not do anything else. This time the problem was not Zelinsky’s bad play, but the bad play of his colleagues. Mikhnevich needs to find a way to give the attackers more options in the game.

Meanwhile, most often in the attack we saw a lonely Lewandowski, deeply returning for the ball, and just Zelinsky. Apart from them, few wanted to attack the gates of the Dutch. It’s impossible to win this way.
3. Is it worth it to play with three players?
Theoretically, we have players in the team who perform well in such an environment in clubs. In fact, in the Polish national team, he is quite average. Especially in a situation where Jan Bednarek is not in the rhythm of the match and it is clear that the lack of regular performances has a negative effect on form.
Mikhnevich’s risk was even greater, as he put two players on the pendulums who play much better in attack than in defense, which, unfortunately, was noticeable on the field. We were often late with the guards and left the opponent a lot of free space.
With this kind of play, it might be worth considering the much simpler and more familiar four-back system.
