Robert Lewandowski, Poland’s all-time top scorer, felt disheartened after being stripped of the captain’s armband and announced that he will not play for the national team again as long as Michal Probierz is the manager. The
36-year-old Barcelona forward has played and scored the most goals for Poland in history (85 goals in 158 games) but was not involved in the latest national team camp.
“I have just recovered from an injury. I informed the coach that I do not feel well both physically and especially mentally,” Lewandowski told German หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล media last week.
On Sunday, the Polish Football Association announced that Probierz had chosen Piotr Zielinski as the new captain.
The statement from the association added that Probierz had personally informed Lewandowski of his decision. Lewandowski
took to social media shortly afterwards to share:
“Considering the current situation and the loss of trust in the coach, I have decided to stop playing for the national team. As long as he’s in the position, “
I hope I’ll have the chance to play in front of the best fans in the world again.”
Probierz, 52, took over Poland in September 2023, where they were the first team to be eliminated at the bottom of their group at Euro 2024 in Germany.
However, the Poles currently top their qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup after winning their first two matches and travel to Finland on Tuesday.
