Actually, the last week is a real mess and chaos in the Polish national team or around it, the team was and is torn by conflicts. The team's coherent communication strategy, coach Michał Probierz and PZPN. Robert Lewandowski was also rose, at least in the first hours of the Captain scandal.
Lewandowski is furious at PZPN. Accusations of deliberate action to its detriment and controlled leakage
At the beginning of the confusion, Lewandowski's negative image was created that he behaves egoistically, puts his good above the mythical good of the team and cares only for his PR. In March, after the match with Malta, he was to openly criticize and insult his teammates and staff – the interested person himself denied it. According to “I entered!”to make the main antagonist from Lewandowski, the footballer and his surroundings blame Tomasz Kozłowski, director of the PZPN Communication and Media Department.
The FC Barcelona striker is to be furious that Kozłowski did not try to resolve the crisis, but heated the atmosphere that was still tense to the limit. In addition, the footballer's environment accuses the director that he was responsible for the controlled leak, releasing information about Lewandowski's arrival in Chorzów to the farewell to Kamil Grosicki. The following facts were combined – Kozłowski before working in the PZPN was the head of the political department of “Fakt”, and this journal was the first to provide information about the arrival of Barcelona footballer.
– We are not able to understand how the PZPN employee not only did not defend the captain of the national team, but even added his hands to a negative narrative – he told Lewandowski's surroundings in an interview with Weszlo.com.
Kozłowski refutes the accusations of Lewandowski's surroundings, claiming that it is made of a whole situation of a scapegoat, and “the divagations of blood -overworked discussions deviate from facts.”

According to Zbigniew Bońek, Kozłowski should no longer work at PZPN, especially after the Captain scandal. He demands the disciplinary dismissal of the director. On Wednesday evening he asked on Twitter: “Michał is gone, and Kozłowski is it yet?”
– The players began to orientate what was doing there and how some information flows out. Who they go to. Michał leaves this representation, and there are ruins. I can't imagine that a new coach is coming now, and Kozłowski will be responsible for communication. It would be death for the coach at the very beginning – he commented on the sports channel.
Tomasz Kozłowski is the director of the PZPN Communication and Media Department from August 2023. He replaced Aleksandra Kostrzewska in this position, who was accused of inactivity, lack of contact with the media and lack of intervention in crisis situations. At the same time, the most important people in the relationship were not to take Kostrzewska seriouslyignore her attention and not take into account her ideas and solutions.
The Polish national team will return to the game on September 4 in an away match against the Netherlands. He will be with a new selector, but there is no certainty that Robert Lewandowski will return to the team.
