The Spanish were delighted with Wojciech Szczęsny. An eloquent reaction from the Barcelona coach
Wojciech Szczęsny had to wait a long time for his debut in the colors of FC Barcelona. However, once the Pole entered the goal, he delighted Spain with his play.
To be precise, Wojciech Szczęsny played his first match for FC Barcelona on January 4, they are competing for the King’s Cup. The Pole kept a clean sheet against Barbastro, and the Pride of Catalonia won 4-0.
Wojciech Szczęsny with another clean sheet. The Spanish are delighted
It seemed that Szczęsny, after playing in the domestic cup, would return to the bench, giving his place to the first goalkeeper in the hierarchy, Hansi Flick. However, the Barca coach once again proved that he firmly sticks to the principles that he himself proposed to the team. Iniaki Pena was supposed to be late for the pre-match meeting. Effect? Barca’s German coach chose Szczęsny.
The Pole repaid with a solid performance, successfully defending several times against Barcelona in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup. Ultimately, the Catalans defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0, and Szczęsny – as the first Barca goalkeeper in eleven years – was unbeatable in his first two appearances.
Flick briefly commented on the Pole’s performance during the post-match conference, emphasizing once again that it was his decision – regarding the unexpected change in goalkeeper.
The Spanish media emphasize that Szczęsny played exactly as expected. Giving the team confidence that a high-class professional is standing between the posts. Szczęsny has made a great name for himself over the years, including: in the Premier League, Serie A or defending the goal of the Polish national team at the most important events around the world.
