This choice by Michał Probierz may be surprising. Expert: the staff is not Caritas
Michał Probierz trusts his players. His choices are not understood by everyone, however. A well-known journalist questions the sense of calling up Jakub Moder.
The Polish national team is starting its 2024/2025 Nations League campaign. The first opponent will be Scotland, who will host Michał Probierz’s team in Glasgow. Both teams have not had a good Euro 2024, so a direct duel after a weak tournament will be an opportunity to test the current situation in the team.
The expert does not understand Michał Probierz’s decision
The coach of the White and Reds must now cope without Wojciech Szczęsny, who has ended his career. The lack of a call-up for the well-playing Kamil Grabara has sparked a lot of discussion. However, this is not an isolated case, as there are more question marks in the 51-year-old’s team. Michał Probierz has great confidence in his players, which is not changed even by the current league form. Although the coach swore that national team players must play in clubs to be called up to the national team, he made an exception for the September break.
It is Jakub Moder, who cannot count on playing. What is more, it is in vain to look for him in the Brighton match squad. The footballer does not enjoy the trust of Fabian Huerzeler and it is difficult to predict today that this will change. Despite this, he found himself in the training camp of the Polish national team. Mateusz Borek does not understand the situation. The well-known journalist admitted on TVP Sport that although he is a fan of Moder, he does not understand Probierz’s thinking at all, who sees the call-up as a “helping hand” for the player.
– To make it sound good, because I’ve been in the Moder team for ages and I’m convinced about this player, the squad is not Caritas, it’s not there to help players. The squad is there to take players to a higher level than club football. Kuba Moder played his last match in the Polish national team at the European Championships and that was his last match in senior football – admitted Borek.

Borek also admitted that, in his opinion, Łukasz Skorupski is the favourite to play as the number one goalkeeper at the moment.
The Scotland-Poland Nations League match will take place on Thursday 5 September at 20:45.
