[ad_1]

  • Adam Nawałka ends a five-year term as a manager of the Polish national team. C & # 39; is the oldest coach since Antoni Piechniczka
  • We all remember the wonderful moments after the historic victory over Germany, but also the last defeats of the 2018 World Cup.
  • "Przegląd Sportowy "sums up the work of Adam Nawałka. We point out positive points, but we also present errors that he made during his work

Adam Nawałka is the oldest coach since Antoni Piechniczek, which is in itself his great success, obviously due to the fact that He was in this role. Highlighting the positives of his term is a child's game. Negative points require further digs and end in the World Cup final. Two worldly defeats affect the whole of the evaluation, which can however be an exaggerated simplification. The Russian wounds are fresh, after all, we were hardly convinced that we were able to leave the group. The clash with reality was so drastic that he had to hurt. – For that, you have to adjust the trainer in a fake way, and yet I fear that we can not always miss the coach Nawałka – warns the Polish representative of 70 years, Piotr Świerczewski. It is quite possible that he is right.

On the plus side: the staff again with their faces

It should be remembered in which situation Nawałka embraced representation. The staff fell into a spiral of unsuccessful sports projects. She is stuck in stasis, no idea of ​​how to get out of it. The collapse lasted six years – it began with the burned out final of EURO 2008 by the team of Leo Beenhakker, for which we also went with high hopes. Then, there was a qualification for the World Cup in South Africa, which was also nominated by the Dutchman. President Grzegorz Lato fired him after his defeat against Slovenia (0: 3) on the parking lot. The representative ball had to find its face in Slavic EURO 2012, but Franciszek Smuda's team managed to win no match. Waldemar Fornalik tried to stick everything together and still wtopa – lack of promotion to the final of the World Cup in Brazil. In this situation, Nawałka came to work with white and red. Somewhere out of the periphery of a great football, he has introduced it into the top ten world rankings. On the plus side: German work

– I've never been so excited to watch the Poles match, as when we won against Germany – says Zbigniew Boniek, president of PZPN. And with Boniek, millions of Poles have moved. We all know that whites and reds of ancient times played monumental matches with England, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium or the USSR, but just when? The Nawałka team has created a national mythology with which new generations of football can identify. For the first time, the whites and reds won with the Germans, in addition to the new world champions. Football was better in this match. he felt from the beginning. But the Poles have won the way – miraculously using their strengths and defeating the rival's weak points. For this idea happily implementation of Nawałka, he deserves a great respect

Positive side: Operation of the Euro 2016

Good qualifying, then unbelievable matches in the final of the championship of Europe – in France Nawałka has definitely won over fans. He neglected nothing, he remembered everything. The team is really well prepared for the tournament. Malicious allegations about happiness and ambition are essentially praises, because both are very necessary in the sport. We have been learning for decades that the Poles always blow in the eye, that they have to endure them quickly, because something will surprise us. There remained an immortal eulogy that would soften the tormented bitterness of failure. In France, however, it was different – our team, even with the most dangerous rivals, was eliminated only in the quarterfinals after the penalty shoot-out with the champion of the day. ;Europe. Nawałka reported the resulting pride of watching matches with the participation of white and red.

On the plus side: the valid standards

Nawałka in the frame is above all new standards and on many levels. Everywhere, it has made a strong impression, making it easy for people working on representation to have clearly defined rules. He already introduced iron rules to Gornik Zabrze, but there he had far fewer financial opportunities to implement ideas. This professionalism – from cooperation with clubs, tracking candidates for the game, selection systems to organizing camps and creating a database about their players and their methods of rivals – allowed to raise the ball at the European level. And that makes the successor – no matter what – is easier. Because Nawałka showed that it was worth investing in the national team.

On the plus: faith in footballers

. Leo Beenhakker, but in his words there was a lot of football picture campaign. Nawałka – in addition to the student coach Beenhakker – the Dutch motto has been creatively developed in a practical action. He insisted on specific players, though some of them were hitting their foreheads, seeing who he was calling to the team. It is thus that was created the army of Nawałka, in which Sebastian Mila, author of a goal for the Germans and Krzysztof Mączyński, who was voluntarily criticized, s & # 39; is shown, but that finally showed that he deserved a place in the team. Nawałka had intuition and was independent in her decisions. He took the opportunity to make thoughtful and sovereign decisions. He was consistent in them. At least up to the time …

Down: Victim of the scandal

The drunken alcohol case of autumn 2016 was settled by the manager, but in retrospect, it was not necessary. Not surprisingly, players have dared to use the trust of a perfectionist like Nawałka. It was, however, a signal that they were not treating him with the seriousness that he deserved, that other habits and habits were more important to them. This incident cast a shadow over the work of the staff, as the real consequences were only brought by the announcement of the end of Artur Boruc's professional career – in a way rather camouflaged – it's hard to talk about a solid settlement. Walałka will always have to explain from this obscure story and he will never explain it enough.

On the Negative: Inaccurate Personnel Decisions

At this point begins the "mundane section". Why did Nawałka call Sławomir Peszka, if the decision of the team certainly did not justify this decision? Is only the decisive form for the cancellation of Krzysztof Mączyński? Why in the championships has not played a minute – just like for EURO 2016 – Karol Linetty? Why did Nawałka let Kamil Glik play at the end of the match against Colombia? He was already ready to play or not? Maybe one day the coach will answer these questions honestly and wisely. On the negative: bad reactions to the World Cup

It is understandable that in the first match with Senegal (1: 2) the coach put the legendary "Nawałka soldiers", but later he corrected errors with other errors. Nervously, he exchanged players, and especially chaotic began tinkering with tactics, bringing the team some defeat in the clash with Colombia (0: 3). It was not this cold-blooded selector, painful and consistent. In short, he lost himself and could not get out of the labyrinth in which he suddenly got entangled. In contrast, the faith in infallibility

Suddenly, constructive information about the outside world came to an end, and the arbitrary conviction in the style of "I was right" began. The team was therefore perfectly prepared for the World Cup, nothing was neglected and lost against Colombia because it was weaker. Walałka took up this last argument of Robert Lewandowski and hung on to him like a drunken fence. He did not want to refer to the thesis that too many players before the tournament were in bad physical shape and he also thought he would hopefully deal with this problem. This time, his intuition failed him, but the specific challenge overtook him, because he probably did not appreciate his scale. He could not admit it.

On the negative: the disease of the breeders

At the beginning of the work with the staff, Nawałek was open to the media – he gave interviews, he came to talk about television. Later, however, he became more and more willing to sit in an ivory tower. He built a system in which he spoke – in a very simple way – only during press conferences, the number of which he systematically reduced to the minimum necessary. The impression was that the prospect of the World Cup is very stressful – and defeat deprives the media and encourages enthusiasm. He was overtaken by the illness of his predecessors – Fornalik, Smuda, Janas …

However, there is reason to pretend that Nawałka will regain the spirit of the mind much more quickly than 39; them.
