In August, Maxi Oyedele replaced Manchester United's youth teams with Legia Warszawa, which he is slowly joining. So far, the midfielder has spent 100 minutes on the Ekstraklasa pitches – 22 against Pogoń Szczecin and 78 against Górnik Zabrze. However, this was enough for him to be called up to the Polish national team.
Maxi Oyedele spoke out after being called up to the Polish national team. Short and eloquent
Oyedele had already played for the Polish youth national teams, so the Probierz coach was certainly watching him. After the games in the top league, he decided that the 19-year-old also deserved a chance in the first team and sent him to the October training camp.
And how did Oyedele react to such an award? He will post a short but meaningful post on social media. “Proud of being called up to the first national team for the first time,” he wrote on Instagram and added a “salute” emoticon. He wrote the same in English. He also retweeted Legia Warszawa's entry, which posted a graphic with him and Bartosz Kapustka, who returns to the first team after a break of several years.
– He will end up in the Polish national team, sooner or later. It has incredible potential. For a debut at Łazienkowska, he performed great. Nothing but enjoy. This is how a young footballer should look, not only because he is young, but because he has talent – said Goncalo Feio after the midfielder's debut in Legia's home match.
Maxi Oyedele will have a chance to play against really good opponents. The Polish national team will face Portugal on October 12, and three days later they will face Croatia. Both Nations League clashes will take place at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
