International Gericke spoke about former national teammate Szczesny's decision to make a comeback and join Barcelona a month after announcing his retirement, and revealed his views on retirement while attending a press conference in Krakowia.
Gleick said he was not surprised by Szczesny's decision to make a comeback. He said, "I've known Wojtek (Szczesny) for many years and know what kind of person he is, he's always unpredictable. This comeback doesn't surprise me, circumstances forced him to return and he himself emphasized that if this had happened a week or two later, he might not have been able to 'get back on his feet'."
Glick himself has turned 36, but the experienced defender still maintains his love and pursuit of soccer. He said: "Today I don't dwell on it anymore. As long as there are no injuries and I'm in good shape, I can continue to play and maintain a high level of performance. I get pleasure from the game and every training session. I am full of motivation and energy. When the day comes when I myself feel that getting up in the morning and going to training no longer makes me happy, I'll be the first one to put my hand up and say 'enough is enough'. However, as I said, it still gives me a lot of pleasure every day and I have a lot of will, energy and enthusiasm to train and play matches so as long as that continues I will want to play soccer."
Speaking about the differences with Szczesny, Glick said that there is a difference in the level of passion for soccer between the two. He said, "Wojtek's approach to soccer is a bit different from mine. I'm an avid soccer fan and will watch every game I can - Poland
League, international soccer, lower leagues. Soccer is my whole life. And Wojtek approaches soccer a little differently. I'm happy to see him end his career with a powerhouse like Barcelona."
In addition, Glick revealed his love for watching matches. He smiled and said, "I will watch all the leagues. I watch the Italian and French leagues most often because I spent some years there. Similarly, I also watch the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the Poland
of the top and bottom leagues. I watch as much as I can until my wife turns the TV off."
Glick's statement not only showed his deep affection for soccer, but also revealed his understanding and support for teammate Szczesny's decision to make a comeback. As Poland
One of the icons of soccer, Glick will continue to sweat it out on the field and bring more exciting games to the fans.
