Michniewicz will choose a debutant? Italians were impressed. “Rose with every minute”

On Monday, a Polish match took place in. Spezia was visiting Fiorentina. Arkadiusz Reca and Jakub Kiwior appeared in the host team. However, he played in the guest team from the first minute. After the meeting, the attacker had more reasons to be happy. In the 17th minute he missed a penalty kick, but then he entered the list of shooters anyway. In the 42nd minute he put the ball into the net closely. Ultimately, he won 2: 1.

Italian media rated Piątek, Reca and Kiwior

It was assessed much worse. First of all, it was he who procured the penalty, which Piatek did not use. “He didn’t play badly at the rear, but he was inaccurate at the front,” Eurosport journalists stated. “He had a lot of willingness from the beginning of the match and maybe that is why he made a penalty. He was late at the goal of Piątek” – added the tuttomercatyzb.com service.

He was better assessed for that. “At the beginning of the match he was in the shadows, but he grew every minute and he had important interventions” – Italian Eurosport journalists wrote. According to them, it was Kiwior who was the best on the pitch. From other journalists, Kiwior received similar or slightly lower marks than Krzysztof Piątek.

Kiwior is working on appointment to the staff. He would be an absolute rookie

Jakub Kiwior’s good performance against Fiorentina is very good news for Czesław Michniewicz. The coach of the Polish national team recently visited Italy and met the Spezia player. Michniewicz is seriously considering appointing Kiwior to the first representation. Both gentlemen know each other very well. Kiwior played in all four matches of the Polish national team U21, when he was responsible for the youth team. Kiwior would be an absolute rookie in the national team.

The defender plays for Spezia Calcio and has been playing in every league game since December 13 last year. He has played 90 minutes in the last eight games. Kiwior is fielded by coach Thiago Motta as a defensive midfielder, but his crowning position is in the center of the defense.

One of the biggest advantages of Jakub Kiwior is the skillful handling of the ball from his own penalty area. In addition, the defender is left-footed, which is a scarce commodity in the Polish national team as a stopwatch. Kiwior played a total of 10 games for Spezia Calcio in Serie A and spent 883 minutes on the pitch.
