The discussion about the conflict between Robert Lewandowski and Michał Probierz warmed up to redness in Poland. Not only many fans and football experts, but also celebrities or politicians took the floor. In the conversation of Tomasz Terlikowski on RMF FM, the deputy minister of sport and tourism, Ireneusz Raś, was asked about the matter.
When asked by the lecturer, should Michał Prdyk leave, Raś replied: – Why? The coach is only assessed after full eliminations, and their goal is to be promoted to the world championships.
After this answer, Terlikowski allowed himself the biting attention that the selector's goal is indeed the elimination of the world championships, not the elimination of the team of her best footballer, to which the politician replied: – Everyone who played amateur or professionally at some level knows that the cloakroom is important. It is the trainer in it. Something that I don't like with Robert Lewandowski that as a captain you can't choose matches where you play or don't play. We do not play two social gatherings, only one about points in the World Cup qualifying.
Later in the conversation, Raś assured that he would not want to escalate this situation, his words are difficult to receive differently. He suggested that at the club FC Barcelona's attacker could not afford such an arbitrariness: – I don't want to add oil to the fire, because Lewandowski is an important figure in Polish football, but I can't imagine behaving around the Barcelona cloakroom.
Deputy Minister of Sport with a clear message. “He cannot appear over the representation”
Raś also announced that he knows the team coach well, which is why he tries to understand his decision to change the captain. He also stated that on the part of Probierz the conflict is certainly to be resolved.
– [Probierz] He is definitely able to talk. There was a situation in the locker room that caused him to make such a decision for the good of the team. No player, even as brilliant as Robert Lewandowski, can appear above the national team. This is not only my opinion, but also many former outstanding Polish representatives.
The deputy minister of sport put the assumption that the lack of Lewandowski could motivate the rest of the band. At the same time, he once again stuck a hed of the former team captain, who even before announcing the decision to completely resign from the game did not plan to travel with the team to Helsinki even to support him from the stands.
– They will play to prove that the cloakroom rules. The captain is part of this locker room. I would like to remind you that there were many examples in football, in which the captain came to a crutch match, with a broken leg, cheer his team – said Raś.
