“Unfortunately, never” – in these two words, Zbigniew Boniek summed up the disastrous 1-2 defeat of the Polish national team against Scotland right after the match.. However, this is about his activity on the X platform due to the team's embarrassment Michał Probierz it hasn't ended. On Tuesday morning, the legendary footballer posted another tweet.
“I read that everything was OK.” Boniek was devastated by what he saw after the Poland-Scotland match
“The fact that a draw and a play-off was almost certain. I read that everything was fine, just a bit of luck was missing. Unfortunately, no one talks about the posts, crossbars and three fantastic interventions Skorupski… If we want to mean something and improve results, this is where we have to start,” Boniek wrote.
What provoked him to make such a comment? It's probably about the statements of Polish players immediately after the match. – Of course, there was a much worse second half against Portugal, but apart from that we looked very good compared to the top teams – said Jakub Kiwior. The captain of our team, Piotr Zieliński, also shared quite a bold thesis. – Today, if we were a little more lucky, we would be talking about a different result. It could have been 4:2, 6:2, 5:3… And we should have won this match – he argued in an interview for the Meczyki.pl portal.
Polish footballers outdid themselves. “Happy Amnesia”
However, these opinions are difficult to defend. It is true that the Poles actually wasted several good goal-scoring opportunities, but exactly the same can be said about the Scots. The statistics in this respect were really even. Our rivals fired only three fewer shots. In terms of shots on target it was 7:6 for them.
Boniek's position was also supported by journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk, who also referred to the words Zieliński. – If top players say that “we could have won 6:2”, it is just a funny amnesia, because, following this line of thinking, they could also have lost 1:5 – he pointed out in a comment.
The Polish national team finished its participation in the Nations League with one victory, a draw and four defeats. As the last team in the group with four points, it was relegated to division B. Its goal balance is terrible – 9:16.
