This is how Wojciech Szczęsny convinced the coach of FC Barcelona. “It caught Flick’s attention”

We would like to remind you that after the transfer of Wojciech Szczęsny to FC Barcelona, ​​and the Pole returned to the game from … premature pension, number 1 in the team’s goal was Inaki Pena. However, it seems that the Spaniard lost the competition with the Polish goalkeeper well.

Wojciech Szczęsny in this way convinced coach Hansi Flick

“Purse” has much more experience than her Spanish competitor. In addition, he doesn’t lose matches with the Pole in FC Barcelona. After five wins – including in the finals of the Spanish Super Cup, with a red card for Szczęsny – it’s time for a draw. This Catalan team happened on Wednesday (i.e. January 29) evening, in the competition in the Champions League with Atalanta (2: 2).

What made Barcelona’s coach bet on a Pole for good? Szczęsny waited for his debut a few months, training diligently. And who knows, maybe this is the solution to this puzzle. Such a suggestion can be read in the text published by “The Athletic”, which was written by journalist Laia Cervelló Herrero.

“In recent weeks, club sources, which (…) prefer to remain anonymous to protect the relationship, say that Szczęsny was doing very well at training. This caught Flick’s attention and he decided to give him a chance. The trust of the German in Szczęsny was greater than the mistakes he made in matches, “wrote Herrero, a correspondent dealing with matters related to FC Barcelona.

Indeed, Szczęsny did not avoid a few significant mistakes, after returning to the game from A to Z, as a goalkeeper of the Catalonia pride. One of the crazy performances by a Pole was an unusual victory in LM away with Benfica. In Lisbon, the guests won 5: 4, although as Szczęsny himself admitted: “It came out a bit comical” – commenting on the events of Barca in the Champions League that evening.
