The Juventus player has backed the underdogs to win the upcoming match against Russian national team and has denied the fact that Poland have weaker players
Former Polish attacking midfielder, Zbigniew Boniek, has
backed Poland to win the second group stage match against the Russian national team after having a poor start to the European campaign.
As things stand, the White Eagles are at the 2nd spot in the group A table following their 1-1 draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 on Friday. Poland have never reached the quarter-finals of the European tournament in their entire history.
They were crashed out of the continental tournament at Euro 2008 after finishing at the bottom in the group table. Boniek has urged his national team to win the upcoming mouthwatering encounter, admitting that they are in a do
or die situation.
Going into the much anticipated tie, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 will be without the services of Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczęsny after the promising shot-stopper received a straight red-card in the second-half against the Greeks.
However, Boniek is of the belief that the co-hosts have a brilliant 23-man squad selected by Franciszek Smuda. He added that the players at the manager’s disposal are of immense quality and can make the difference at any given
time.
The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 player went on to deny the fact that the Russian national team have a better squad as compared to Poland.
He has insisted that though Russia have the likes of Lokomotiv Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuri-Zhirkov-c37683; the red and white have a quality squad as well.
“It is difficult to name a single Russian footballer playing at a top level outside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991. Of course, there are Pavlyuchenko, Arshavin and Zhirkov but Poland have better players than them.”
“In fact, Poland can win against Russia. I think we will come out of the group with a 99 percent probability.” The former Zawisza Bydgoszcz player was quoted as saying.
Arsenal’s Szczęsny, PSV-Eindhoven’s Przemysław Tytoń, Borussia Dortmund’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 are playing at a top level with their respective clubs.
