The Spanish are thundering after Michał Probierz’s decision. “Such situations make clubs nervous”

Robert Lewandowski started the match against Croatia on the bench. In the second half he entered the pitch, which outraged Spanish journalists.

Many fans had the right to be surprised that Michał Probierz did not include Robert Lewandowski in the starting lineup for the match against Croatia. Even before the match began, the coach emphasized that the captain of the Polish team had a slight injury, which is why he decided to sit on the bench.

The Spanish criticize Touchstone

The clash with Croatia had several twists and turns. Lewandowski finally appeared on the pitch in the second half, replacing Karol Świderski in the 62nd minute. It didn’t take long for the most effective player in the history of the Polish national team to play one of the key roles in the goal to make it 3-3. It was Lewandowski who held the ball appropriately and then assisted Sebastian Szymański.

In the 77th minute, Dominik Livaković attacked our striker sharply. The goalkeeper of the Croatian national team, while outside the penalty area, kicked Lewandowski near the knee. He received a deserved penalty in the form of a red card. The Pole was in pain at the beginning, but he decided that he would be able to finish the match. He could breathe a sigh of relief, because the fight with Livakovic could have ended very badly for him.

Probierz’s decision to introduce Lewandowski in the second half of the match did not escape the Spanish media. The “Sport” daily even decided to criticize the coach of the Polish national team, accusing him of recklessness.

– You can’t tell everyone before the match that a 36-year-old player is resting because he has a minor injury and then let him play almost 40 minutes in a match of such high intensity. There was a lack of consistency here. Situations like this only make clubs even more nervous. “Lewy” is a professional, he will go out on the pitch and give his all. But it’s still nonsense, wrote the Catalan “Sport”.

Barcelona with prestigious matches

If the Polish striker does not experience any major pain, he should play in the marathon of prestigious FC Barcelona matches. It all starts with a match against Sevilla (October 20). Three days later, Blaugrana is scheduled to face Bayern Munich in the third round of the Champions League league stage. On October 26, Barcelona will play against Real Madrid in Madrid.
