So the loss isn't that bad. I can really see Lech getting far in the UEFA Cup. ^Yup, pretty good match, especially since Lech have just started their training, while Bremen has been training for a few weeks already.

However, I don’t see that happening. Footballers are very fragile individuals. Once you crash and burn to the point where you want to quit/retire there is no coming back from it. Its like when a race horse breaks its leg, it can never race again, then the inevitable happens. As for Matusiak getting back to the national team is as likely as Mariusz Lewandowski scoring with one of his bullet shots from half field. Its too bad because Matusiak did have a good scoring record playing for Poland. History has shown that when a player is not considered a prospect anymore or is not the best player in the Ekstraklasa, the chances of him making an impact abroad are very slim. Especially, a strong league like the serie A. It didn’t help that Matusiak’s transfer wasn’t motivated by football. He is another example of a player getting humbled by the sport. I guess all we can hope for is that he can serve as an example to our young players with aspirations of moving abroad. Hopefully they can learn from his mistakes.

He was 25 already when he made the move abroad. If he had waited, then interest from decent foreign clubs would have soon faded and he would have been left with offers from Greek clubs or the second Bundesliga. Decent foreign clubs generally aren't interested in older players who only have Ekstraklasa experience on their resume. I don’t think it was too soon. He was 25 already when he made the move abroad.

And I also would like him to get his carreer back on track, since he was a great footballer in Poland.
