After the transfer of Mateusz Bogusz to Mexico, there were many votes that the midfielder wrote out of the Polish national team. Ultimately, Michał Prdyk appointed him to the March grouping and betrayed the backstage a bit. – I know the details of this transfer. I value him very much that he talked to me about it. You also have to understand the player sometimes why he makes some moves. I do not want to pull out private topics, but I think that in this case he had no choice but to do much for his career – declared the selector.
Mexican media is about the dedication of Bogusz
Mateusz Bogusz reached the grouping with a delicate delay, because – as WP SportoweFakty informed – footballer Cruz Azul was to get stuck on the way through the Atlantic. Despite this, the midfielder appeared in both matches won by Poland with Lithuania and Malta. In the first match he entered the bench for 14 minutes, and in the second match he played from the first minute and was changed in 46 '. Mexican media write about the trip of the former La FC player.
La Maquina Celeste's website writes about the “sacrifice” of a Polish player who flew about 13 hours to Warsaw to get to the grouping of the Polish national team. “Mateusz Bogusz showed that his passion for the Polish national team knows no borders. The Polish footballer made an epic journey of 10,174 kilometers, from Mexico to Warsaw to be able to represent his country in qualifying matches for the World Championships in 2026” – we read.
“The journey, which reflects Bogusz's involvement in the game in the national team, aroused admiration and respect among Sky Blue fans and the whole world of football” – we read in the Mexican media.
In addition, the website has calculated that a return flight costs 72 thousand. Pesos – 106 thousand pesos.
Record: His presence and quality were noticeable
In turn, the Mexican Record described Poland's victory with Malta with Mateusz Bogusz in the composition. “Poland, without Robert Lewandowski in the initial composition, but with Mateusz Bogusz, defeated Malta in the second round of UEFA qualifications thanks to Karol Świderski's doublet” – we read.
“The midfielder Cruz Azul played a good match and was even close to scoring. (…) With a result of 0: 0, he had one of the best chances in the match. However, he did not score, his presence and quality were noticeable, but eventually he left the field a few minutes after the start of the second half” – we read.
“What has become of him?” – ask Mexicans
The vamoscruzazul.bolavip.com website went a step further and described exactly the situation Mateusz Bogusz wasted. “What happened to him? Mateusz Bogusz's mistake, who prevented him from scoring the first goal for Poland” – we read in the title.
Journalists pointed out that the Pole had an ideal opportunity to open the result of the match, but did not use it. It is a situation from the 20th minute, when in the penalty area he bifted his foot on the pitch instead of hitting the ball. This caused Malta's defenders to organize themselves on the defensive and ultimately nothing came of it.

“As for the player Cruz Azul, his form dropped until he was changed in the 46th minute of the second half,” we read.
Now Mateusz Bogusz will return to the club and will be preparing for the match against Guadalajara, which is scheduled for Sunday, March 30 at 5:05 Polish time.
