Michniewicz: Going through to the knockout stages would meet Poland's expectations

Poland kick off their Qatar 2022 campaign against Mexico on 22 November before facing Saudi Arabia and Argentina.

- We are playing three non-European teams, so it’s harder for us to watch our opponents’ matches in person, - says Poland coach Czeslaw Michniewicz. - While there’s no doubt we will face three challenging rivals and three very difficult matches, we’re trying to keep up to date with our observations of our opponents. My colleagues and I have already managed to watch several of Mexico and Argentina’s matches live at the stadiums. Many players from these countries also play in Europe, so we’re trying to keep an eye on their club games too – but I always concentrate on the next opponent. Our first match is against Mexico, so all our attention is focused on them right now.

Going through to the knockout stages would meet our expectations as well as those of the fans and journalists. We have an interesting squad, including a world-class star in Robert Lewandowski, [other] players who play a leading role for their clubs in Europe’s best leagues, and some extremely talented young players. That blend of youth and experience is definitely an advantage for us. I want the fans to love us and see a team out on the pitch who fight and give their best. Of course, going through would be a success, but we know what a tough task awaits us.
