Nawałka: We do not need additional mobilisation
Polish national team coach, Adam Nawałka, has prepared special trainings before the official training camp of the national team to prepare better for matches against Georgia and Greece. This best reflects the importance of these meetings.
The official training camp of Polish national team started with ... a small training camp.
Yes, preparations for June matches started with a short, three-day training camp for a selected group of players. Since Monday we have been working in a complete line-up. We talked individually with members of national team after the end of league matches. We decided that for some of them shorter breaks and earlier training will be a beneficial option. Those who have performed at the highest speed, in the system from Wednesday to Saturday, benefited from short holidays. The most important thing was that all of them appeared smiling, rested and ready to fight.
After a long break Jakub Błaszczykowski returns to the national team. This is undoubtedly a big gain.
Before sending appointments I was in Dortmund, where I talked with Kuba. I wanted to find out if everything is okay in the subject of his shape and mental approach to national team. He assured me that there is no problem. The conversation was very specific. I believe that Błaszczykowski will be able to help the national team.
The assembly of defence line must be the most difficult thing now. Kamil Glik will pause for cards in the match with Georgia, and Jakub Wawrzyniak and Artur Jędrzejczyk are injured.
From the first day of my work with the national team we conducted a wide selection. We have excellent orientation, as to the form of all players. Players that we have appointed are ready for the match with Georgia. The team was joined by Michał Pazdan, who is in a very good shape. I am convinced that the formation of defence will be good. A very important match is waiting for us, in which we expect to win.
In the first match we defeated Georgia at a high score, 4: 0, but in the first half it was not so easy.
It is true. In the first half of the meeting in Tbilisi we had a problem with creating scoring chances. After the change of sides we were much more offensive and it gave the desired effect. Now, we must be well prepared in terms of tactic and motor. I do not think we'll need additional motivation. Playing the ball will be very important. We are aware that Georgians are playing in a new, even more defensive orientation. This is a set of their new coach. We have put great emphasis on appropriate finalizing of action. In this lies the key to victory.
Then we will face Greece in Gdańsk. How do you treat this meeting?
I appointed a broader range of players for the training camp. It guarantees us calm decision-making in case of emergency injuries and illnesses. We take very seriously both of these meetings. The rivalry with Georgia is very important in the context of promotion to the finals of Euro 2016. Match with Greece is the beginning for preparations for the final phase of elimination. For outstanding players in league matches, it will be an excellent opportunity to show their skills and potential of playing for the national team.
