On Sunday Byalo-Chervoni will face Wales, who have made great progress in football in recent years, but their defenders are still famous for their tough and sharp game. Our players will have to watch their feet, especially since the first matches at the World Cup in Qatar will be held in two months.
Robert Lewandowski overheard him raving about his teammate. “Oh my God! What a player!”
He must be especially careful, among others Peter Zelinsky. The Poland midfielder is in very good spirits and the Wales team will certainly not let him spread his wings. The 28-year-old plays for Napoli with very low socks and almost invisible leg protectors. If he does the same for Wales, he risks serious injury.
- If the knee pads do not cover the shin, it can lead to injury in a serious attack. These are “boards”. If there are any exceptions to the rules, then the players themselves are at risk of injury, - Tomasz Musial, Ekstraklasa referee, said in an interview with Fakt.
- Players generally prefer to wear smaller protectors. Probably for technical reasons and for the convenience of running. But they probably do not understand that we are talking about protecting their health, he stressed.
Match Poland-Wales on Sunday. The bet is to stay in the elite A division until the next draw.
Tomasz Musial: the referee cannot look under the socks
At the same time, he admitted that although the rules of the game require the possession of rubbers of the appropriate material, and the referee controls the player’s clothing, it is not possible to check what kind of protection the player has on his feet.
- Theoretically, a player may not be allowed to play as a junior defender, but players avoid this. The judge does not have the right to check what the athlete has under the gaiters. With the same success, you can put a piece of cardboard, and we cannot say whether it is a gasket or not, the judge pointed out.
- In the case of a foul, when the masseurs provide assistance, we see how the player pulls off the socks and this “board” is small. Then you may wonder if this is supposed to be, - our interlocutor emphasized.
Mikhnevich - the worst selector in recent years? The numbers say it, but the devil is in the details.
- The first who “introduced” such a fashion in our country was Mauro Cantoro from the Vistula Krakow. He had gaiters dropped so low with little gaiters. Now many players use these small “boards”, - judge Musial concluded.

Now the Poles will play with Wales. Zielinski likes to play with low spats and little to no rubbers.
