Michal Probierz: This is another step towards building the team
From the first minute of the match, we wanted to play aggressively and set a high pace. It was important that we scored a goal quickly. There was also a bit of indecision creeping into our game, we stopped the pressing for some moments, but it's normal that when playing high-press, things can happen in defence, said Poland's national team manager Michał Probierz after the friendly against Latvia.

Michał Probierz: We can't change everything in five minutes
"Our problem in this match was the missed opportunities. In terms of our attitude to the match, commitment, determination, I have nothing to reproach the players for. There was a lack of finishing touches, of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Now I am faced with the task of picking the players who will ensure our victory in the next game, and if we do not get direct qualification, proper preparation for the play-offs," said the Polish national team head coach Michał Probierz after the game against Moldova, which ended in a 1:1 draw.
