Paulo Sousa came under fire in Poland after the captain of the Polish Fed, who was in the same World Cup qualifying group as Hungary, announced that there would be no competition for the number one goalkeeper under his leadership, ending the more than ten-year competition.

Already a few days after his appointment at the end of January, Paulo Sousa betrayed who decided who would be the goalkeeper, but at that time he had not yet announced his decision. In the three Spring World Cup qualifying matches, it turned out that Wojciech Chesney became the goalkeeper number one, as the Juventus player defended in all three matches.
This means, then, that Chesney, who has played 52 times with the national team so far, will enjoy Souza’s confidence, while Lukas Fabianski, the national team 55 times, will be on the bench. Because of this decision, Captain Souza was found, for example, by the former Polish national team goalkeeper 11 times, Wojciech Kowalewski, Who spent the most beautiful period of his career in Moscow between 2003 and 2007 at Spartak.

“The rivalry between Chesney and Fabiansky in the national team has been going on for more than a decade. It is almost a tradition and very important to both of them and of course for the team. Goalkeepers benefit from it, just like other players in the national team.” Said Kowalowski, who explained with an example what he meant.
For example, if there is a match between each other in training and Szczesny is the goalkeeper of one of them, Fabianski and the other team, so far both goalkeepers are excited to play in the game. They are not in the goalkeeper’s first team, while those who are in a team with Chesney may feel as comfortable as they might feel at first. I think eliminating competition between goalkeepers by choosing the first and second choices would hurt the entire team. It was an early and hasty move. From Souza. “ The former guard said.
For the sake of facts, let’s add: For a long time in Poland, there was a general belief that the last of Fabianski and Chesney would play in a better team, and also time in favor of Juventus 31-year-old 36-year-old goalkeeper against the old West Ham United goalkeeper 36 years old.
Of the two, Fabianski was the first to appear in the national team, defending for the first time in the national team in March 2006, while Cesny took a half-time break against Canada three and a half years later in November 2009 and then was not invited to a match. Tight for two years – with one exception.
The goalkeepers have been members of the Polish tire with smaller and bigger breaks since the end of 2011, so the competition between them has lasted a decade for first place, which has so far reached a close result, but Paulo Sousa seems to decide a “duel”.
