After a pretty good start to Tuesday's match against Croatia, the Polish national team had a terrible start, losing three goals in seven minutes. However, the heroic attitude of our players allowed us to lead to a draw, and we were close to even gaining three points. There are no illusions that our defenders were disappointed, especially Paweł Dawidowicz, who received enormous criticism in recent hours.

The coach of the Polish national team also decided to focus on Jakub Moder from the beginning of the match. A few days ago, he performed below expectations against Portugal, which is why the coach's decision aroused a lot of controversy. – He gives you another answer that he is not suitable for the national team. Michał Probierz is currently hurting him – Artur Wichniarek said after the match against the Portuguese, suggesting that the coach must “put it in the closet”.
Unfortunately, the words of the former Polish representative were confirmed, as the 25-year-old made another very average performance. – The most defensive one failed the most yesterday. His behavior during the third goal conceded was bad, during the second goal he has no right to exchange marking with Bednarek – said Modera on Wednesday, Tomasz Hajto in the program Polsat Futbol Cast.
The 52-year-old is sure that the lack of minutes at Brighton has an impact on his form. – It's obvious he's not playing and it's not good for him. This is a different Moder than the one I watched before the injury, he said. It cannot be ruled out that he is still struggling with the effects of the terrible injury that excluded him from the game for a year and a half. – Many players say that the time you need to get back to optimal shape is as long as the break in the game. Of course, it's about physical fitness and a simple feeling of the pitch, he explained.
“He doesn't have those A-level behaviors.” The journalist deleted Moder
– He's a young footballer. He is not 28 years old to sell anything based on experience. Even this free kick, where Moder has a great shot from a distance, was given a chance to shoot, but he kicked it at full risk, but without believing that it could result in a goal – added Hajto. Journalist Roman Kołtoń questioned the position in which the coach put him.
– He doesn't have those “A” behaviors. This is still a critical position to address. (…) Moder is more of a number eight, he wants to play football – he said. There is no denying that we still have problems with the defensive midfielder position. Damian Szymański, Bartosz Slisz, Taras Romańczuk, Patryk Dziczek, Piotr Zieliński, Maxi Oyedele – none of the players appointed by Probierz was able to properly fulfill their tasks.
The next meeting of the Polish national team will take place on Friday, November 15 at 20:45. Our rival will be Portugal, against whom we will play away. Three days later we will face Scotland at home.
