The conversation was mostly dominated by the topic. – Each of us believes that it will end quickly, but also realizes how much suffering is already in all this – said, who appeared in the Sunday issue of “Dzień Dobry TVN” with.
– In 2014, we were with Ania in a refugee camp in Jordan. It was after the war in Syria had broken out. It is known that now it is not too much to compare with each other, but the situation is a bit similar. There were hundreds of thousands of children in that camp, and then we saw what war meant. That in one second people had to pack up and give up everything they had. To leave my whole life – said Lewandowski.
Robert Lewandowski: It was insurmountable
, who praised the decision of the Polish national team to oppose the game with Russia in the play-off for the World Cup. – It was not a decision for us. Each of us from the very first minutes [wojny] – like me, when I started talking to Ania right away – he had his thoughts – Lewandowski said on Sunday.
“Of course I’m the captain, so I started calling the guys on the team.” I wanted to know their opinion. And it was not the same situation for everyone, because we have players in the team who played or are playing in the Russian league and for them it is all even more difficult. But we were all unanimous. Everyone saw what it looked like and each of us felt what needed to be done – added Lewandowski.
– Our decision was dictated by values and solidarity with Ukraine. There was no thought what the possible consequences would be and what might happen. We just couldn’t imagine going out on the pitch and playing against the Russian national team. That suddenly one of us switches and forgets about what happened and what is happening there. It was impossible for us – emphasized Lewandowski.
FIFA, which remained silent during the first days of Russian aggression against Ukraine, finally granted Poland a free fate. It has decided that Russia – which still has – has been suspended. This made Czesław Michniewicz’s team move directly to the play-off finals, where on March 29 in Chorzów they will fight for a trip to the World Cup with the winner of the Sweden – Czech Republic match.
Earlier, on Thursday, the Polish national team will play a friendly away match with Scotland.
