After the team's thrilling 3-2 win over Scotland, Poland
Head Coach Probezh accepted the Polish
An interview with media outlet TVP Sport gives a comprehensive summary of the match and a detailed analysis of the form of the key players in the team and their tactical arrangements.
Probekhi first recognized the importance of the result for the team's morale: "In such a tense and intense game, a victory is undoubtedly the key. We can see from the game that the team has gradually developed its own style, and many players have shown obvious progress on the field. However, we must also face up to our shortcomings, especially in the early part of the second half when mistakes led to goals being conceded, and this is something we need to focus on in the future."
Regarding the team's performance on the defensive end, Probekhi said, "We conceded the ball too easily, which is unacceptable. In the coming matches, we have to strengthen our focus on the defensive side of the ball and reduce unnecessary mistakes. We know that every game is crucial, especially in an international tournament like this, and any mistake could affect the final result."
Talking about the injury of Lewandowski, the core of the team, Pro Baez revealed, "Lewan suffered a minor injury during the game and we had to replace him early for his health reasons. At this stage of the season, a player's health is more important than anything else. We will keep a close eye on his injury recovery and hope he can return to the field as soon as possible."
Regarding the tactical decision not to play a defensive midfielder in this match, Probekhi explained: "Our tactical arrangements are based on the characteristics of the players and the match situation. We can't always use the same tactics because the opponents and situations are different in every game. We have players who are good at attacking, but we also need to find a balance to make sure the team is not too passive on the defensive end. The game against Wales gave us a boost of confidence, but we also know that every game is a new challenge."
Finally, Probez spoke about Kiviol's substitution: "Kiviol is an important member of the team, and we've been watching his performance all along. But in this game, he did encounter some difficulties. We need to give him help and support, not blame him. At the same time, I would like to praise Valukevic, who quickly settled into the rhythm of the game and made an important contribution when he came on."
