North Macedonia – Poland 0-1. Critical Eagles can be promoted to the European Championship first

No one can deny that the long bad times have hurt the inefficiency of our players, but that the facts are more important should not be a fact: Poland is the first team of the Old Continent which, after three lines of elimination, has a series of points and has lost no objective. The team of Jerzy Brzęczka is the first to advance towards the Euro 2020, although it is strongly criticized even after the victories.

Check the situation in the "Polish" group!

It was past midnight when, in the arena of Todor Proeski, in the group of Polish journalists, we analyzed this meeting. Admittedly, we were confused.

– I do not know what to think of this game. Do you worry more because we seemed weaker than Macedonians who play lesser roles in weaker clubs than our footballers. Should we take into account the result and the effectiveness of the team Brzęczka – analysis of Mateusz Borek Polsat Sport.

We must admit that we did not have a defense as tight as during the qualifying rounds. The pair of Kamil Glik – Jan Bednarek is improving more and more, despite the past years of the Monegasque player. Tomasz Kędziora and Bartosz Bereszyński supported them with courage, they did not stay in the middle of Grzegorz Krychowiak with Mateusz Klich. The class was confirmed by Łukasz Fabiański. We had a collective on the defensive, which is not easy to scare.

To achieve progress, we must also pay attention to the disadvantages. Given the chronic lack of football in the Eagles in the final minutes of the first half and the whole game, the memories of the famous farewell with the World Cup came back. While at the finish of the 1-0 win over Japan, we went to low pressure. In Macedonia, we rolled the press underground or hidden in the basement. He was not there at all, no jump in the ball, aggressive approach to the rival. You must have a pair of lungs in these elements, which was missing in our Skopje.

– I will not explain the hot weather. She was the same for both teams – he shortened the subject of the match in the heat of Kamil Grosicki. Our team was standing. "Grosikowi", who finished the league games more than a month ago, did not even help individual training with the team physiologist Leszek Dyja.

Jerzy Brzęczek directs the progressive reconstruction of the group. He introduced new links: Mateusz Klich, Tomasz Kędziora, Krzysztof Piątek and – with a bit of luck – Przemysław Frankowski. While the right wing of the November expedition to Portugal as part of the League of Nations was a distinctive figure, Skopje lost in duels with rivals. He had to deceive them, create situations and in the meantime, Eljif Elmas was making a windmill from the Chicago Fire player. Przemek made the wrong choice, he did not give the Kędziory who followed the line.

We must have more developed wings than today. Will their future improve their condition with Dawid Kownacki with Damian Kądzi, who has played for Dinam Zagreb? Or maybe it's worth to be on the flank of Arkadiusz Milik, who played a key role in building this performance during the qualifying round of Euro 2016 in Germany. These are the dilemmas of the selector. Just as it is clear that we should play with one or two attackers.

PZPN President Zbigniew Boniek advocates to strengthen the composition of the offensive, but also the captain of "Biało-Czerwonych" – Robert Lewandowski.

– In playing one, it's harder for us to keep the ball, to play forward. Especially if the opponent plays with three central defenders, as did Macedonia. The more we attack, the more we create the situation, we also have a balanced defense and self-confidence increases, "said Lewy.

You can think of another field group on Wednesday. Jacek Góralski, Damian Szymański and Karol Linetty are on the reserve. The problem is that the tests with them have already been done and have not been overly optimistic.

Monday at PGE Narodowe, we will face the speed of Israel like never before. His 3-0 in Latvia is impressive.

Prior to the Skopje expedition, Mr. Lewandowski appealed to his colleagues that they focus and engage also at the June meeting. – It's a very difficult game and very important for us, Robert thinks.

Łukasz Fabiański adds: – In the context of the match against Israel, the most important is to regenerate well.

Biological regeneration has begun. "White and Red" In the morning, they returned to Warsaw. They landed at Modlin because the airport has them. Fryderyk Szopena does not accept flights after midnight.

With the exception of a 1-1 draw with Slovenia at home in the first qualifying round (March 21), Israel wins everything and Eran Zahavi scores a goal. On Monday, several serious snipers will face the National. If "Bialo-Czerwoni" accumulates three points, the doors of next year's ME will be removed to a large extent.
