– I certainly would not tear coaches from the club who have contracts and work great. Marek Papszun and Maciej Skorża let them stay, let’s leave them – said Michał Listkiewicz on Wednesday morning.
The former president was a guest on Radio Zet’s morning. In an interview with Beata Lubecka, he expressed his anger at. “It can’t be compared to having Sousa go to Curacao, lead the national team there, and suddenly say he didn’t like him anymore.” This is the Polish representation – with huge achievements, high position in the FIFA ranking, beautiful history and the present – said Listkiewicz.
Listkiewicz: Today the fire has to be extinguished
And he added: – I think that apart from the financial issue, Sousa probably got a little scared, because after the match with Hungary he saw that the pendulum of sympathy and public opinion was swinging the other way.
Listkiewicz also said that, in his opinion, all the confusion around the national team will make the Polish representatives more motivated in the play-offs to the World Cup. – I agree with Zbigniew Bońek that pissing off the players will help. They will go to the pitch in Moscow and say: we will show this Sousa that we are not as weak as he implied – said the former president of the Polish Football Association, who, when asked about Sousa’s successor, indicated Adam Nawałka. But not only.
– Primarily . He left halfway, probably not entirely because of his fault and at his request, and he had with her – apart from the unsuccessful performance at the World Cup in Russia – very good results. Listkiewicz, however, added: – I think that you should talk to Jerzy Engel so that he can help Adam in this first period – preparation for the play-offs, because today you have to put out the fire. I can see the Nawałka-Engel tandem.
The 69-year-old Engel is the coach who introduced the team to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. in 2002, but has not worked in the profession for 15 years. The last club he led was Cyprus’ Apoel in the 2005/06 season. Today Engel acts as an expert, cooperates with, inter alia, from TVP Sport.
