The Poles had a disastrous qualifying period for the European Championships. The atmosphere around the team was so bad that some even feared the play-off match against Estonia. The White and Reds eventually defeated this rival 5:1. However, it was certain that the match against Wales would not be so easy.
Touchstone’s shocking decision. The moderator explains what happened
That is why Michał Probierz’s decision not to include Jakub Moder in the Polish national team for the match against the Welsh completely baffled experts and fans. The midfielder is just getting back into the match rhythm after a months-long injury, but it seemed that he could be useful in this match anyway. In addition, there were many indications that the coach was preparing him to play in this match – after all, Moder entered the field in the match against the Estonians.
Ultimately, it turned out that the Brighton player would play the match against Wales from the bench. This decision even surprised Moder himself.
– I’m a little surprised too, I’ll admit it. We met last night before the match squad was announced. The coach took me for a short talk and explained why. But I think I’ll leave that between us. I will not bring it up publicly here – said the Polish representative in a pre-match conversation with TVP Sport, quoted by Interia Sport.
Journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk previously reported that the reasons for removing Moder from the match squad were purely sporting. Ultimately, coach Michał Probierz, at the expense of Moder, chose Bartosz Slisz, Jakub Piotrowski and even Taras Romańczuk in this match. These decisions stood out because the Poles won the match on penalties (0:0, 5:4) and will go to the final tournament.
In the group stage of Euro 2024, the White and Reds will face the Netherlands, Austria and France.
