SouPoland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny must have flashed through the mind of Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny two years ago when he stood with both hands in front of Salim Dausari’s penalty kick in the 44th minute of the match against The Arabia. Match against Slovakia in the Euro Cup. The entire blame for the own goal that day was on his shoulders. Csesny returned with his head down that day with the embarrassing record of being the first goalkeeper to concede an own goal in the history of the Euro Cup. The fate was no different at EuroCup 2012. In the match against Greece, he had to leave the field with a red card. In 2016, he was also injured. But when he came to Qatar after many years, the goalkeeper named Cezni has changed the role of the tragic hero to the heroic one. Csesny saved many goal-scoring shots in the match against Mexico and became the hero in the match against Saudi Arabia.
Csesny’s penalty save was crucial in the match. After Al Shehri was brought down by the Polish player Bialek, the referee awarded a penalty in favor of Saudi Arabia. Salim Dausari, who scored a goal against Argentina, came to take the kick. The player thrilled the fans by scoring a wonderful goal against Argentina. Everyone thought that Shehri would score the penalty. But Cesny’s struggle was just beginning there.
Sesni cleverly tricked Shehri and caught the star’s attention. Then he jumped to the opposite side. The ball was kicked. The entire Saudi camp is disappointed. But nothing ended there. Csesni hit the ball straight to Al Buraik’s feet. All Buraiki needed was to hit a shot wide of the post. The player shot towards the goal net. But Cesny was not ready to give up. Csesny got up from where he fell and hit the ball again incredibly. Buraiki’s shot ricocheted off Csesny’s finger and flew over the crossbar.
There is no doubt that this moment, which left all the fans stunned, will go down as an unforgettable moment in Csesny’s life. Csesny was showered with compliments by his teammates who shocked everyone by making two saves in a row. Csesni destroyed all Saudi’s hopes of a coup d’état in the match.
Since 2009, Csesny has played 68 matches for the Polish national team. The 32-year-old is the goalkeeper of Italian giants Juventus in club football. The player has been with the Italian club since 2017.
