Comments on: Wichniarek: Beenhakker Advised By Idiots. http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/wichniarek-beenhakker-advised-by-idiots.html Poland - World Cup 2010 - South Africa Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:12:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: tomasz http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/wichniarek-beenhakker-advised-by-idiots.html/comment-page-1#comment-68779 tomasz Mon, 19 May 2008 09:09:19 +0000 http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/wichniarek-beenhakker-advised-by-idiots.html#comment-68779 The bottoma line is that Smolarek can play as a lone striker. Then we'll have Krzyniu on the left wing, Kuba on the right and Zuraw/Roger/Gargula/Majewski as an attacking midfielder. If Leo wants to play Zuraw as a lone striker then Krzyniu can take the amc spot and Ebi play as a left winger. They change the positions during the game, of course. These are possible tactical changes if none of our 'true' strikers prove ready for the challenge. But I really hope that at least one of Matusiak/Sagan/Zahorski trio will prove useful.

After that there would be no controversy, sink or swim. You're right, those 45 mins against Czechs was the only time when he was called up by Leo. What's even more surprising I recall Leo or one of the assistants saying that he'll surely get a second chance. And I really wanted to see him once more just to finally make up my mind (as in the case of Brozek). Maybe there wasn't enough time, but probably Wichniarek just isn't the type of striker Leo considers good for the team. I agree, he should be given as much playing time as Brozek to convince Leo.

For me, the question is why he didn't get a better shot to prove his case?! I mean, he played 45 mins vs. the Czechs and was involved in one "training camp" as far as I know (please correct me if I am wrong). I am not saying Wichniarek is the be-all and end-all for us, but we aren't exactly overflowing with strikers at the moment... so a guy who can score 10+ goals in a top league should probably get a better look than 45 mins IMHO. (Especially when you consider guys like Sagan, Rasiak and Piszczek have gotten considerably better looks from Leo & co.)

Still, I find the story beleviable as Wichniarek was the only one of the left behind players who reacted in a very emotional way and expressed his irritation openly. As for the nt, he's not a failure as Rasiak, I'd rather compare his situation with Saganowski's. But on what grounds do you think he expected a call up? As much as I think he'd be useful during the Euros his absence is not something I lose any sleep over. Both SE and Sport Bild are tabloids so a misinterpretation is possible.

I am willing to bet there will be an interview with Wichniarek in one of the respected Polish papers in the next few days to "clarify" what was said in this interview with SportBild. as for point (b), let's be honest here... Wichniarek has never been given a decent chance by any NT coach. Sure, Janas and Boniek gave him some time but it's not overly fair to call him a NT disappointment. It's crazy, especially when you consider that a guy like Rasiak has nearly 40 caps for our NT. Like deyna199 said, SE is a tabloid @ best.

I would like to see the original article. That’s possible deyna199, but would they go to such lengths to associate the interview with a German paper? I would like to see the original article.
