Szczesny, after making his official comeback and joining Barcelona, accepted the Polish
An interview with the program Foot Truck. He talks about the reasons for his comeback, his feelings after joining Barcelona and the competition with young goalkeeper Peña. Szczesny said that the whole process of joining surprised him, including his final decision. Originally, he was sure he wouldn't be back on the pitch before Ter Stegen's injury, but a week later he is already in Barcelona, enjoying the Catalan sunshine. He admits that there were so many things that had to fit perfectly to make this happen, as if fate was at work. The support of his family became the biggest motivation for him to make a comeback to the franchise, especially the positive attitude of his wife and son, which drove him to make this decision.
After joining Barcelona, Szczesny said that he was probably the player who accepted the transfer most calmly. He is happy to be here but also very calm as he has experienced life after retirement and knows that he can live well away from soccer. He has reservations about the magic of Barcelona and says he will wait and see. He also mentioned the different style of play from Juventus and Arsenal and the need for him to adapt to a new tactical system.
Speaking about the rivalry with Peña, Szczesny said that he sees the rivalry as a good challenge and wants to end his career at a high level. He admitted that he doesn't know when he will be fully ready, but believes he can do it and is capable of doing it. He accepts the fact that he might lose this competition, but will not be upset if Peña performs well. Szczesny emphasized that he will do everything he can to help Barcelona, both on and off the field, with the coach deciding his role.
