The former president of PZPN believes that Lewandowski did not work well. “Refusal/resignation/excuse – as he calls him, so he will call him, but Lewandowski will run out of a key match for the Polish national team in Finland in two weeks. I don't like it, this is how the real captain on the ship does not progress during a storm” – writes Listkiewicz. “Apparently Lewandowski made a shocking decision after consulting a coach,” he added.

It seems to me that he was more often on the bench and was less used. Robert and the trainer are convinced that they will manage without Robert. As for me – I wouldn't do that. Robert did so and I respect it. This is not a gesture that I really like – he said in “Football Truth”.
