– My dream has always been to play one match in the squad, I played 94 of them. For me it is a beautiful story that is coming to an end – said Kamil Grosicki in June last year, who was at the time of the last grouping of the Polish national team in his career. He ended his adventure with the team with a match against Austria (1: 3) at the European Championships in Germany. He stayed on the pitch for 15 minutes.
Borek laughed at the rejuvenation of the staff. “It laughs me”
Since then, you can easily call him a former Polish representative. With an eagle on his chest, Grosicki ran to the field 94 times, scoring a total of 17 goals. In a sense, the 36-year-old fell victim to the current setting of Michał Probierz's team, who insisted on playing in the middle three defenders. Thus, in this formation there is no place for wingers, which Kamil Grosicki suffered. His place was already taken by much younger players, whose coach sets on pendulums.
Mateusz Borek cannot accept this state of affairs. In the last program of football power on the sports channel, the commentator in a few minutes of the message tried to convince the rest of the experts gathered in the studio that in the current team there would still be room for Kamil Grosicki. – Probably in a moment the chat will light up and say that Borek is crazy because he is a friend of Grosicki – he began.
– This rejuvenation term (staff) laughs at all […] We thanked the Grosicki championships. It is known that the boy gave up this representation because he felt the writing in his nose, he felt what was going on. He knew he wouldn't get too many minutes … What is this rejuvenation? That we took 34-year-old Taras Romanczuk and we put up 34-year-old Salamon at the European Championships? We rejuvenate this way – Borek said in a lofty tone.

Then he returned to the thread of Captain Pogoń Szczecin. – We give up guests who played at several tournaments were in the quarter -finals of the European Championships, they have a hundred matches in the national team, and we rejuvenate so that we take two who have virtually no experience, and there are only two years younger. As Poland, I want to go to the world championships. And if today Kamil Grosicki would help me in four elimination matches, I take Grosicki anyway! he added.
– I turn on Pogoń Szczecin for Kamil Grosickeigo today. Not because I know him privately, but because I have pleasure from it, I see a different touch of the ball, creativity, a string to the goal – he explained. – I am convinced that if Grosicki played in Legia or Lech, he would look even better. And now tell me why today the Polish national team is not to help someone just because they are 37 years old? After all, he is still better than those Fornalis and others – he said at the end, comparing Grosicki to Mariusz Fornalczyk, whose calling was followed by Tomasz Lipiński.
On March 21, the Polish national team will start qualifying for the world championships with a match against Lithuania at the Warsaw National Stadium.
