'My heart stopped a bit when Grzegorz Krychowiak was booked, we knew it was minus three points and fair play was already taken into consideration.'
Date published: Thursday 1st December 2022 9:27 -Czeslaw Michniewicz has discussed Poland’s 2-0 defeat to Argentina – a result which saw his side scrape into the last 16 of the World Cup on goal difference.
Poland will face reigning champions France in the last 16, while Argentina come up against Australia. “We had an agreement that only me and the technical staff would be across what was happening in the Mexico match, at one point in time I did pass on some information to Robert ,” Michniewicz said. “My technical staff told me there was only a difference of two or three yellow cards so it was very close, we were at a difficult time when it was 2-0.
Poland have qualified from the group stage at a World Cup for the first time since 1986, and Michniewicz wanted to focus on that positive despite such a negative performance. “We are very happy about it, we have worked hard, we have gained four points, the rules have been clear form the very beginning, we knew what was counted was the goals but also the yellow cards.”
