I would prefer Poland if Robert Lewandowski played, for example, at Legia Warszawa – said PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński on Saturday in Ełk (Warmińsko-Mazurskie). He wanted the Polish national football team to achieve more in Qatar than just leaving the group.

During Saturday’s meeting with the residents of Ełk, the President of PiS was asked if he thought the Polish national football team would drop out of the group they would be playing in in just over two weeks at the European Cup. world in Qatar.

It is I who will not risk the answer, because it is as much in football as in politics: one, even a great one, like Lewandowski, will not be enough. There must be a team

– says Kaczyński.

Although we have very good players, there is not only one, although he is of such great world class, it is Lewandowski. I am very happy that we have such a player (footballer), although I would prefer Poland to play for Legia Warszawa, for example

– said the President of PiS.

Well, at the moment we do not have such a Poland, although we must strive to achieve it in this area as well

– added.

I really wish with all my heart that they leave the group, and even more, that they go even further. After all, there have been times when we managed to get into the medal zone. We won two medals, bronzes are bronzes, but still medals

– said Kaczynski.

On November 22, Polish footballers will start the competition in Group C of the World Championship in Qatar. They will play against Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Argentina. In the history of the FIFA World Cup so far, the Poles have taken third place twice – in 1974 in Germany and in 1982 in Spain.
