The famous football player attacked the Polish team. Touchstone responded
Although Poland advanced to EURO 2024, Marco van Basten spoke strongly about the play of Michał Probierz's team. The coach did not remain indifferent to the words of the world football legend.
The Polish national team advanced to EURO 2024. Success did not come easy. The White and Reds struggled in the qualifying rounds and did not qualify directly. Fernando Santos was replaced by Michał Probierz, who led the team in the last few matches without losing any of them. His team defeated Estonia and Wales in the play-offs and will play in Germany in June.
Michał Probierz responded to the football legend
Michał Probierz quickly started preparations for the European Championships. He will be subject to monitoring of the players and the training base where the White and Reds will be stationed. Most likely it will be Potsdam, although this may change. He will certainly have to find a way to improve the team's offensive play, because against Wales, Poland did not take a single dangerous shot at the opponents' goal.
After the promotion, Touchstone still has to face criticism. The coach was criticized by a legend of world football. Marco van Basten said that Poland is a “stiff team” that doesn't really want to play football. The coach himself reacted to the words of the famous Dutch striker. In an interview with WP Sportowe Fakty, he joked about the statement, saying that he did not blame him for it, because van Basten is a golf fan just like him. He also added that he received a lot of good words for his team's play.
– I forgive him because he likes playing golf, just like me. Regarding these words: someone will always say something, and I think that the match against Wales was very good. Even Welsh fans said it. They were accosting me after the match and praising us that they hadn't seen such an offensive team playing away for a long time. After the match, the president of the local federation came to our locker room and congratulated us on our promotion, said Probierz.
Poles will start EURO 2024 with a match against the Netherlands
The Poles will start their EURO 2024 competition with a match against the Netherlands on June 16, 2024 in Hamburg. In addition to the “Orange”, the rivals of Michał Probierz's team will also be Austrians and French.
