The Polish national team started its October training camp before the Nations League on Monday. There were no surprises, as Michał Probierz is wont to do. Despite being called up, Kacper Kozłowski and Mateusz Skrzypczak did not show up due to injuries, but it is possible that Michael Ameyaw and Maxi Oyedele will soon have a chance to make their debut. – These are players who can stay here for a long time. I believe that what I am saying now will be confirmed – said Touchstone's assistant Sebastian Mila.
Zbigniew Boniek has a specific opinion about Oyedele. He sees one drawback
There are many indications that Oyedele will make his debut for the Polish national team in Saturday's match against Portugal. So what can we expect from him? – He has no complexes, he can aggressively receive the ball and move with it with great freedom. He's a guy who takes the burden of the game and responsibility on himself – Bartosz Kapustka, the player's club friend, recently explained.
We also know what the former president of the Polish Football Association, Zbigniew Boniek, thinks about the Legia midfielder. – He is definitely not a player with the talent of Deyna, Lubański or Lewandowski. He has a different role. But considering his age, he surprised me positively in the last two matches. He was mature and behaved intelligently after receiving the ball. Sometimes it flares up, but that's normal when you're 19. (…) Interesting boy. Now there is such Odelejemania in Poland – he said, making a funny mistake when pronouncing the player's name.
Boniek hopes that this will not be a one-time call-up for a player, as in the case of Patryk Peda, who, in his opinion, played a good one and a half matches for the national team and was lost. – He has been playing in youth national teams for several years, he has a Polish passport – I don't see anything against it. (…) I like him, but for such a young boy to develop, he needs peace, he said on air Football Truths.
He added: In Poland, we have a different way of looking at young footballers. In our case, Jamali, the one from Barcelona – he said, changing his name again – he probably wouldn't have played in the Polish national team until he was 18, because we would have said that he was too weak and should play in CLJ – he summed up. However, the 68-year-old is sure that if the coach appointed Probierz, he must have an idea for him.
The Polish national team will play two extremely important matches in October. First, on October 12, it will face Portugal, and three days later it will face Croatia. Both matches will take place at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
