In March, Fernando Santos will lead the Polish national team for the first time. We know a lot about the 68-year-old Portuguese, including The most important thing for him is good organization and discipline both on and off the pitch.
That’s why Santos put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench during the last World Cup. The Portuguese did not stick with his star when she did not want to submit to the team during the Qatar World Cup.
Previously, the two men had a good relationship. And Santos will certainly want to have the same relationship with Robert Lewandowski. And he could use a firm hand too. According to the Sportowefakty.wp.pl portal, the FC Barcelona striker allowed himself to be insubordinate to Czesław Michniewicz during training before the match against France in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup.
“Lewandowski left training because he was not satisfied”
“I was stunned when I found out that before the match against France at the World Cup, Robert Lewandowski left training earlier because he was not satisfied with the level of training. the behavior of the Barcelona player shows that certain proportions have been disturbed” – we read in the article by Mateusz Skwierawski.
And further: “This is just an example. This group of people needs a cold shower, because recently they are comfortable with the fact that it is mainly the coaches who are the culprits of failures (…) In addition to a substantive conversation and a good idea for the game, the locker room of the Polish national team needs new rules. There’s been too much chimera and nose twitching from the players lately.”
The first matches under Santos’ tenure will be played on March 24 in Prague against the Czech Republic and three days later in our country against Albania. These will be Euro 2024 qualifiers.
