The decisive match of the Polish national team for promotion to the World Cup is approaching. On March 24, the Poles were supposed to face Russia in the semi-finals of the baray, but the representation of “Sborna” was excluded from the competition by FIFA. This is, of course, a consequence of the invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin’s troops. On the date when the match with Russia was to take place, the Polish team will play against Scotland in a friendly manner. Thus, on March 29, the Poles will play against the better of Sweden – Czech Republic.
Comments appeared in the Czech media about FIFA’s decision to suspend the Russian national team and at the same time facilitate the path to the World Cup finals for the Polish national team.
– Poles may have an advantage. They will be able to see the opponent’s match and prepare for him for a long time – emphasizes the irozhlast.cz portal, which at the same time quotes Tomas Vaclik, the Olympiacos Piraeus player. The Czech goalkeeper showed understanding for the decisions of the world federation. – Everyone respects it because of the situation in Europe and in the world – said Vaclik.
– Poles may have a slight advantage. The difference between the matches is as much as five days, which does not happen, for example, in clubs that play in European cups. So there will be a lot of time for preparation and regeneration – emphasized Vaclik.
Czesław Michniewicz already has a plan for a play-off match
The guardian of our team is convinced that the Poles are able to win against any opponent that stands in our way in a decisive match. . Both teams almost always play in a system with four defenders.
“I will start the first days of the training camp by working on my own ideas as far as the team is concerned. And only after March 24, when we know the opponent in the play-off finals, will we focus on this opponent, passing the relevant knowledge to the players. Either way – the Swedes or the Czechs , they will play in a four-person block in defense. And this is what we will emphasize in some solutions in the attack “- he reveals.
