On June 26 at 00:00, Group D match of the UEFA Euro, France vs. Poland. Ahead of the game, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski granted an exclusive interview to the media.
About this year’s Euro:
“Let me be clear, considering the group we are in, France, the Netherlands, and Austria are quarterfinal-level teams in the Euros. We set high goals and standards for ourselves, but unfortunately, we haven’t been able to meet them.”
About the last group stage match against France:
“I hope we can play our best game in this Euro. Even though we’re fighting for honor now, I hope we can play good football, create chances, and score goals. We know that even if things get tough, we can’t collapse. We need a plan and must stick to it until the end, regardless of the result.”
About his future with the national team:
“Honestly, I don’t know. Many factors will influence this decision. To maintain a certain level under such high expectations for years and try to fulfill not only my dreams but also those of the Polish people is a burden. Of course, I feel great within the team. In terms of the internal atmosphere, I enjoy my time here. I’m not worried about my physical condition.”
“Retirement from the national team? I don’t want to regret retiring too early when I could have played longer. On the other hand, I don’t want to struggle when that moment arrives. That moment hasn’t come yet. I need to feel it in my heart. For sure, apart from myself and my family, no one else will influence my decision.”
