Goalkeeper Szczesny, while attending the pre-match press conference for the second round of the Europa League group stage against Austria, expressed his anticipation for the upcoming match and shared his thoughts on the team's situation and strategy.
Szczesny began by emphasizing the importance of winning the game, stating that at this stage he was more concerned with the result than the process, "I just want to win this game and get the three points," he said bluntly.
Speaking about the match against Austria, Szczesny mentioned the aggressive style of play of the opponents. He stated that Poland
The team has kept zero goals conceded in their previous two matches and will now face yet another aggressive team. He revealed that Poland
The team has prepared two responses: one is to play quality football and the other is to respond to the opponent with the same aggression. He predicts that there will be a lot of physical confrontation in the match, so the players will need to respond intelligently.
On Lewandowski's return to training, Szczesny said it was great news. He believes that Lewan's presence is a huge boost for the team, not only changing the attitude of the team but also affecting the mentality of the opponents. Szczesny hails Lewan as Poland
The best player in the history of soccer and very happy to have him back in the game.
When asked if he was focusing too much on individual players in the Austrian team, Szczesny said that although the Austrian team has some great players, what is more important is how they perform as a whole. He emphasized that Austria are a very dangerous team when they are in possession of the ball, so this match will be completely different from the one against the Netherlands. Szczesny described the match as a "mini-final" and one of the most important games of the tournament.
Finally, Szczesny talked about his mindset. He said that while he will be excited and looking forward, he is no longer nervous. He believes in his ability and experience and that he can help the team achieve good results. At the same time, he also showed his ambition, stating that he will never be fully satisfied unless he wins the European Championship.
