Tomaszewski compared the Pole to Messi. And that is why I do not want it for Russia

The president of the Polish Football Association, Cezary Kulesza, has still not found a new coach of the Polish national team, despite the fact that the play-offs of the world championship in Qatar are approaching. On March 24, the Poles will face Russia in the first match in Moscow. The final of the play-offs will be held in our country.

“Only one of them can play.” Tomaszewski is ruthless for Zieliński

During Paulo Sousa’s tenure, he was one of the key figures in the Polish representation. The Napoli midfielder is currently experiencing probably the best period of his career and is making a splash in Italy. This season the midfielder has already played 24 games for Napoli, scoring six goals and five assists.

However, Zieliński has always not been able to translate his great condition from Napoli into appearances for the national team. For this reason, he has earned many critics over the years of playing for the national colors. Jan Tomaszewski has just joined this group. The former Polish representative admitted that he would place the 27-year-old on the bench in the play-off games.

– If I had to select an attacking midfielder for the match against Russia for today, having a choice of Szymański and Zieliński, I would have put the first one – he said in an interview with “”. – Both are great players, but Szymański was in the best eleven of the Russian league, He plays there every day against these players and knows them by heart. In my opinion, he is better in the defensive game than Zieliński, who is a great “player”, but in the defense he is like Messi, he is shuffling and just waiting for the ball. Only one of them can play – he added.
