The team's first practices of the new year in Legionovo were devoted to the 6-0 defense and advanced defense. Lessons ended with “games” in small groups.
1. Will the captain of the Polish national team not play at the European Championship?
– Our biggest problem is Shimon Sichka's knee. Kamil Siprzak, on the other hand, practiced Tuesday morning but had to leave the evening because of leg pain, Lijewski said.
The coach noted that Sychko will go to Spain with the team, but he is not sure that he will play at the Euros. Central defender Piotr Jedraschik was removed from the “20” team gathered on New Year's Day. He also complains about his health (he has a slight injury to the lead), but he is still fighting for a position in the team at the European Championship together with Arkadiusz Osovski.
– At the tournament held in Granollers, we will continue to play together, we will find the tempo of the game and gain confidence – he added.
On Wednesday, the Polish national team will practice in Spain. The Poles will fly to Barcelona in the afternoon, from where they will be transferred to Granoller, less than 30 kilometers away.
