Fernando Santos' selection as a fresh selectioner of the Polish football squad ended the post-mundial fever in Polish society. The situation of Polish football and the emotions surrounding it uncover full the weaknesses of the Polish nation and Polish mentality.
The improvement of the Polish ball focused on Lviv, Warsaw, Krakow and advanced Silesia. In advanced Silesia, during the period of fighting for borders, Polish sports clubs were created, which in their name had the word “move” or “forward”. Among football activists in advanced Silesia there was no shortage of people, with national and pro-social views.
Disindustrialisation and the fall of sport
After planet War II, the improvement of Polish football and athletics as a full followed industrialization. Propaganda created Richard Ochódzki as a typical sports activist during the PRL period. In fact, all president, secretary, manager sought to make the club from his area the best. Sports clubs were company, so the footballer didn't gotta worry about employment. The Polish football league was stronger, and clubs, specified as Górnik Zabrze or the Chorzów Movement, were successful in the European cup.
The coming to power of “Solidarity” and the working class traitors of the Alliance of the Democratic Left led to the liquidation of the plant sports clubs. As the betting went down, sports clubs collapsed. Poland is simply a colony of the West, not only ideologically, economically, but besides sportingly. Young footballers will play 1 decent period and are about to leave for the West for any club. Most of them return to the Polish league after a fewer years. There was besides a football regression in erstwhile demos, but for example Dynamo Zagreb plays regularly in the Champions League, likewise with Partizan Belgrade and Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. In the Czech league, players gain much little than in the Polish Extraclass, and Czech clubs regularly play in the group stages of European competitions. It is hard to look for the successes of Polish teams in European cups (last success, that is, the elimination of a serious rival took place during the lead of the Legion of Warsaw by Czesław Michniewicza, erstwhile the squad from Warsaw eliminated Slavia Prague from the League of Europe).
Import coaching patterns
In the first decade of the 21st century, naïve Poles were threatened by the media by Mogilewicz and scandals in the PZPN. Mogilewicz and PZPN were to be liable for all the evils in Poland and pathology. At the same time, Poland was draining western corporations with impunity and sold out national assets by sold politicians. Of course, there was no shortage of irregularities in the PZPN, but media hysteria was disproportionately large. The media demonized the then president of PZPN Michał Listkiewicz. Listkiewicz, a Hungarian by education, can appreciate the work Viktor Orbánwhich he has contributed to the improvement of Hungarian football. Listkiewicz as 1 of the fewer known characters who, although no longer serving in the sphere of global politics, can talk the endecc.
During Listkiewicz's time, the selectioner became Dutch Leo Beenhakkerwho could advance to the 2006 Mundial with the representation of Trinidad and Tobago. Dutchman made the historical thing by representing Poland – the first promotion to the European Championships (the Polish typical during the Euro 2004 elimination had then much worse footballers than now). Under the supervision of an experienced Dutch coaching workshop he learned Mr Maciej Skorza, Adam Nawałka (good for Polish trainers). The Dutchman was initially loved by the media, but in time Polish larch and dogs were hanged on the Dutch; how dare he instruct arrogant Poles (the dismissal of Dutchr by the president of the Polish Academy of Sciences will pass into history) Gregory Summer). Poles, on the 1 hand, love the West and strangers, on the another hand, as individual forces discipline, patience, they get offended. In the past of our nation, abroad patterns have besides had a affirmative impact on the improvement of our homeland – the location of cities on German law, the abolition of serfdom by Cara Russia and the King of Poland Alexandra II, the form of Prussian capitalism in the times Otto von Bismarck had a better influence on the life of the Polish peasant, a worker, like the borderland.
Nice or effective?
Selection Jerzy Blink on the selection of the Polish squad was sensational. The media criticized Blink due to the fact that there was no experience, small success. It's best if he's a abroad coach. The buzzer did his job, remained in the highest group of the League of Nations, and besides advanced to Euro 2020. As a reward, he was... fired. The media praised the resignation of Bum by the then president of PZPN Binderbone. The successor of the Bell was Portuguese Paulo Sousawho had no coaching achievements, was known for scandals. Portuguese knew the mentality of Poles, said a fewer sentences, about John Paul IIThe parent of God and the Poles ate from his hand. Representation for Euro 2020 has been compromised. As shortly as an offer from the Brazilian League appeared, Portuguese was no longer curious in training Poles.
Czesław Michniewicz was the fresh selectioner. Michniewicz always preferred defensive kind of the game, counted the consequence alternatively than the artistic impression. Poland has been incapable to play with Sweden or Denmark for many years. In the course of the elimination of the Euro 2004, Sweden's representation humiliated Poles, at the same time it planted itself on Latvia's loved ones (by doing so Poland did not play in the barracks). Poland faced Sweden in a decisive match for promotion to Mundial. She won 2-0. In addition, Poland's representation during Michniewicz's time remained in the highest group of the League of Nations (in a strong group with Belgium, Holland, Wales). At Mundial Michniewicz, as always, bet on defensiveness and cunning; thus Poland's representation came out of the group at Mundial for the first time since 1986. Football is not figure skating that counts for style. The score is crucial in football. Do readers remember the teams that played the Mundial well and dropped out after the group phase? Nobody remembers specified teams but passionate. Even during the Mundial many «experts» said publically that it was better if Poland played nicely and lost 0:4. Typical Polish or all or nothing, triumph or death. If Michniewicz had chosen kind and lost, many of the same "experts" would have cried that he was a loser. Poles should be happy with the first success of Polish representation at the Mundial since 1986, alternatively the cesspool struck. Michniewicz was attacked by all media, an army of experts. It was made a hopeless coach due to the fact that the average points (only that the representation under his leadership played with strong teams alternatively than with San Marino or Gibraltar). Unfortunately, the contract with Michniewicz was not renewed.
Portuguese Michniewicz
The name exchange started immediately. The media mocked the appearing Polish candidatures. No substance how we justice the coaching workshop Irenaeus Mumble is Maciej Bartosz, they'd give this representation a heart, not run distant to Brazil at first opportunity. He was besides promised Andry Shevchenko to the seat of the selector of the Polish team. I'd be happy for the smart guys. If Shevchenko had made it to Euro 2020 with the representation of Ukraine, I would have immediately looked for bookmakers and bet Shevchenko as the next president of Ukraine. Shevchenko had no extraordinary coaching achievements.
In the end Fernando Santos from Portugal became the selector of Poland's football team. Portuguese won the 2016 European Championship. With a strong representation of Greece he left the group for Euro 2012 and Mundial 2014. Santos prefers defensive, tactically disciplined kind of the game, which is the same as... Michniewicz. Michniewicz has been removed, there is Santos who prefers the exact same thing, that the fresh selectioner will collect a much higher salary.
