DT from Poland recognized the superiority of France: “There is no recipe to stop Mbappé”

The Polish team competed against France and even had opportunities to open the scoring for the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. However, the resistance of the team led by Czeslaw Michniewicz broke in the final minutes of the first half after the goal de Giroud and then, in the complementary stage, Kylian Mbappé became the figure of the match.

The ‘White and Red’ strategist recognized the superiority of the reigning world champion and highlighted the great performance of the popular ‘Donatello’ who scored a double. “We knew how to try to stop them, but there is no valid recipe to stop a player like Mbappé or a team like France”he said at a press conference.

“We played well the first half, we developed the football we wanted, but I’m not going to say that we could beat France. It is a very powerful team with excellent players. The Kylian Mbappé thing was incredible, from the way he played, to the kind of goals he scored.”he added.

On the other hand, Czeslaw Michniewicz also dedicated words to his coaches and pointed out that they had options to violate Hugo Lloris’s goal. Despite the failed chances, the Polish coach applauded his team.

“This Polish team has very good footballers, at times I think we could have scored those goals that could have changed the way the game went, but we didn’t”he added.

It is worth mentioning that Poland began the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with a goalless draw against Mexico, then beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 and lost (0-2) against Argentina. Despite the defeat, Lewandowski and company qualified as second in group C.
