Piotr Zieliński pointed to an important moment. He was the captain of the national team
Already on Thursday (i.e. September 4), the Netherlands – Poland match in the qualifying rounds of the World Cup 2026. Piotr Zieliński is to be one of the leaders of the national team under the baton of Jan Urban.
It is worth recalling that in the case of “Zielka”, he was one of the most important figures of June, the last grouping of the Polish national team during the term of office of coach Michał Probierz. Why? Mainly because of the two issues, first of all, an injury that excluded the player from playing, and secondly – a gigantic confusion around Robert Lewandowski.
Piotr Zieliński with a special memory. He replaced the “left”
Inter assistant was appointed by the then coach as a new team captain. Piotr Zieliński even sat down next to the Probier at a pre -match press conference in Helsinki. Ultimately, as it turned out, “Zielek” did not play a minute during the June grouping, and the captain – the necessity – was in the clash with Finland Jan Bednarek. Poles lost this meeting 1: 2.
In the latest vlog on the channel we are connected by a ball on YouTube, Zieliński is bursting with positive energy. The Pole cannot be counted in Milan as specially successful in Milan, but he is certainly healthy and ready to play in representative colors.
If Zieliński appears in the match against the Netherlands, he will play his hundredth match in the national team equally. A beautiful, round jubilee is being prepared. Interestingly, Zieliński and the Dutch played in his career six times. Not once, however, the midfielder could not find a way to orange in national colors.
– It will be seventh, I hope it will be victorious. I don’t know, we probably didn’t manage to win with them in these six matches? There were draws, there were good matches, but there was always something missing. We played a nice match at Euro 2024. I have already forgotten about this match, and there were a lot of valuable things from it that can help us now (…) I am glad that my hundredth match will be with the Netherlands. The family will also come to support me so that we count on a good performance. The hundredth match, goal, win and it would be beautiful. The dream hundred would be – said Zieliński.
