An interview with media outlet TVP Sport gave a comprehensive summary of the game, with special mention of the injury to the heart of the team, Robert Lewandowski, as well as the performance of young defender Kivior.
Probezh began by recognizing the team's performance in the game, emphasizing the importance of the result: "In such a close game, it was crucial to come out on top. We can see that the team is gradually taking shape and many players are improving. However, we must also face up to our problems, such as the period after the first half when we made mistakes and allowed our opponents to score easily. But it's gratifying that the players didn't give up, they fought until the last moment and this spirit is what we need."
Regarding the upcoming Sunday's match against Croatia, Probiezh said, "We do have holes on the defensive end and need to improve as soon as possible. But time is running out and we must remain resilient at this stage. A win in Croatia would be a great boost for us. We came here for this and we are fighting for this."
Talking about team centerpiece Lewandowski's early departure due to injury, Probert revealed, "Lewan did suffer some minor injuries and we couldn't risk letting him continue playing. This is part of the season, we must always pay attention to the physical condition of the players. Fortunately, his injury is not serious and we hope he will recover soon and lead the team forward. At the same time, we have to be ready to play without Levan and put out a lineup that can still play good football."
Regarding the decision to replace Chiwiar after his poor performance in the match, Pro Baez expressed his understanding and support: "Chiwiar is a young player with potential, but he also needs time and experience to grow up. His performance today was not as good as it could have been, but I don't blame him. We need to give him more help and support so that he can play better in future matches. At the same time, I would also like to commend Valukevic, who showed good athleticism when he came on and contributed to the stability of the team."
In conclusion, Probezh re-emphasized the importance of team spirit and continuous improvement, "Soccer is a team sport and we need everyone to play their part. Although we made some mistakes in today's game, if we keep our unity and fighting spirit, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and achieve better results."
