Courteous conversation with the President of PZPN a few days ago. – Do not you see a Polish candidate for the coach of the national team? I advise you to put on glasses – says Zbigniew Boniek to the catcher. The head of football headquarters likes to joke, so this time it sounds like a dose of good humor in his mouth. It was difficult to find another Vistula coach in his head, who could fully shoulder the burden of leading the country's most important team. However, with the passage of time, the leaks on the departure of the foreign option have become more and more real. Suddenly, Bum, Boniek, a boxing fan, hit the mark announcing Thursday morning that Jerzy Brzęczek would be the coach. This is the continuation of the path that he took five years ago. Brzęczek is as surprising as Adam Nawałka. This causes mixed feelings. There are several difficult tasks ahead of him. Among other things, rebuild confidence undermined by a failed performance at the world championships.
Fire in the eyes
Let's go back ten years. Boniek and Brzęczek, both experts of Polsat during EURO 2008, talk about coffee at the Polish national base in Bad Waltersdorf: – Jurek, train yourself. You will be really good – he turned to an expert colleague. Who would have thought that he would use it as a coach a decade later. The president of the PZPN was looking for a new impetus for the team that did not accomplish the task during the World Cup in Russia. White and red did not leave the group. They presented themselves as one of the weakest finalists of the event. It was obvious that some idea had burned. There were personal problems related to injuries or catch-up in physical preparation, after the defeat of Senegale 1: 2 the atmosphere began to become denser. A machine that works well, Nałałki, stuck. After the World Cup there was a split.
– Jurek has all the qualities that a selector should have. He is an experienced player, representative of Poland, silver medalist of the Barcelona Olympics. For this character and what is very important to me – the fire in the eyes and a huge desire to work hard. I am convinced that it is the right choice. I sometimes have the impression that it would be better to hire a magician, David Copperfield, who would solve all our problems and ensure success. So everyone would be happy, but the world is not working. We needed a strong, honest and decent person in this position and I chose this one, "Boniek told Sport Review, who finally shook hands with the new employee on Wednesday. The key to his job Brzęczek fits well not only in the profile of the coach, but also in the man in whose hands the performance would be handed in. Intelligence, consistency, strict rules, calm , refinement, managerial abilities – maybe this does not cause any experience, but meets the requirements of a good potential manager
The young and hungry coach takes over. This argument was Brzęczek is only 47. Among the top 20 FIFA team, only two coaches are younger than him: Roberto Martinez and his contemporary Ryan Giggs, both born in 1973, were born two years later late as the new white and red coach. Especially the first shows that age does not matter. On Saturday, Belgium will play with England for the World Cup medal.
Nevertheless, being a manager is associated with a huge challenge and no matter the experience so far, it will be a whole new opening for Brzęczka. Walking on fresh ground, because working in a club can not be equal to managing a group of players on short teams, playing in strong European teams with great ambitions, but also the ego. Establish a relationship, win trust, build authority will be a very important task for the new boss
The former coach of Wisła Płock must naturally raise doubts because it is not filled CV – a bit like the Croatian hero, Zlatko Dalicia. working until now in clubs in the Middle East. No one in their good sense could assume that he would lead the team to the World Cup final. Similarly, Brzęczek, who has no major success on his account. Until now, he was building a last name. He managed the best and impressed the previous season, when just before the start of the season he took the reins of the Nafciarzy team. He was in a difficult situation after the sudden departure of Marcin Kaczmarek who was quarreling with part of the locker room. He quickly sorted out the team that fought for the show in European competitions until the end. He was not afraid to bet on new names. He pumped a lot of fresh blood to Płock. Young regular players played regularly – until nine under 24 played in the first league a thousand minutes and over. One can expect that Brzęczek is not afraid of the renovation of the team. Like Nawałka, who likes to research, give opportunities to non-obvious candidates. We would not be surprised if in autumn, in front of the League of Nations, some young footballers came to the camp
"Uncle Kuba"
This patch was sewn in Brzęczka immediately after announcing it as coach. It evokes a certain embarrassment and raises unpleasant questions before the signing of the contract: How will Cuba be treated? Will he be called on merit? What about the captain's arm in the hands of Robert Lewandowski, who has been the subject of a dispute in the past, and the subject came back after the World Cup? To our knowledge, Brzęczek does not intend to make a revolution in this area. Instead of merging, this would cause a storm, and Robert could think of the future in the frame. Naturally, he will direct all the worst suspicions that, from a professional point of view, are just not right at the moment. From a teenager who quickly took over the captain's armband at Warta Poznań, through the head of the Olympic team, to a future coach, he made himself known as a person just honest. It is doubtful that he could play his name with impure licks or nepotism.
Brzęczek should receive a loan of confidence, which the Nawałka case has taught us. Nothing happens twice? We will see. The results will be settled. Of course, this choice raises doubts, but would not it be in the case of Gianni De Biasi or Cesare Prandelli? Doubtful. The job of another Pole is an act of courage and no one right now knows what it will end.
