Szczesny remains disappointed at what happened in Poland’s opening game at Euro 2012. The goalie conceded Greece’s equalizer before seeing red for a bad foul on striker Salpingidis.
“It's hard to find positives after I was dismissed,” Wojciech Szczesny told the press as he reflected on the current situation.
“I take it that way, that by playing one of the most important matches of my career and unable to finish it, I weakened the team and will not occur against Russia.
“I've missed a goal, but what can I Now do? It's hard, you have to live on.”
Explaining the incident that got him sent off, Wojciech Szczesny continued:
“I wanted to put my leg on the ball; but I saw that I wouldn't reach, so I tried to go back. The foul was obvious, so I didn't argue with the referee, but I accepted his decision with understanding.”
Wojciech Szczesny had the opportunity to watch the decisive moment on television in the corridors of the stadium. Cameras showed the Arsenal goalkeeper celebrating passionately when Tyton made the save.
“On Tuesday [against Russia], I whole-heartedly wish good luck for Przemek Tyton,” Szczesny stated.
Having clinched a point from that 1-1 draw against Greece, Poland remain hopeful of reaching the quarter-finals of the competition. Looking at the strength of their next opponent, Russia, the Polish could lose and therefore still have much to play for on June 16 against the Czechs.
Contemplating the UEFA Euro 2012 co-hosts’ third match in Group A, Wojciech Szczesny confessed:
“I hope to play in the final battle group against the Czech Republic. In every training session I will show that I deserve to go back to the goal.”
