“Good day, I'm counting on 4 points in the two-legged match. 6 points would be great, 3 is also acceptable. 2 or 1 point would be whining… the last scenario doesn't interest me” – wrote Zbigniew Boniek before the first matches of the Polish national team in the Nations League. The Polish national team began their campaign in the new edition of the UEFA competition with a 3-2 win over Scotland in Glasgow.
Zbigniew Boniek spoke before the Poland-Croatia match
A few hours before the match in Osijek, Zbigniew Boniek recalled the above entry. “So there is already acceptance, now it can only be better,” he wrote, referring to the fact that the Polish national team already has three points, and after the match with Croatia, it can only improve this achievement. The opportunity for this will be really good, because the Croatians are also going through a generational change in their national team.
Zbigniew Boniek is facing prison
Zbigniew Boniek has been making headlines recently in a not-so-positive case. The former president of the Polish Football Association has been charged with mismanagement, which allegedly cost the association a million złoty during his rule. For this, he faces a sentence of up to ten years in prison.
– I was accused of mismanagement in concluding a sponsorship contract. The whole thing is imaginary, political, absurd and will never end with an indictment. You can accuse anyone, but that doesn't mean it's right. There are no victims in this case, there has never been a single report of anyone being cheated, and I'm supposed to believe that the prosecutor's office dealt with this case itself? This is ridiculous – thundered Boniek in an interview with goal.pl.
The Croatia – Poland match in the second round of the Nations League will start on Sunday, September 8 at 20:45. The text coverage of this match will be available on Sport.pl and in the Sport.pl LIVE mobile application.
