There were many heroes in the match between the Polish national team and Sweden. First, Piotr Zieliński and Robert Lewandowski, who scored two goals, were determined to advance the Polish team to the World Cup in Qatar. However, the first victory would not have been possible without Grzegorz Krychowiak.

2022 World Cup Playoffs. Poland – Sweden Man of the Match Crescors Kryzhovyak

Defensive midfielder Aike Athens started the match on the bench, much to the surprise of many fans and experts. In a friendly match with Scotland, he did not trust Cheslaw Miknivich, so this time he had to settle for a defending role.

– It is a little painful not to start the match with Sweden in the first row. “It was the result of the war in Ukraine, which did not allow me to prepare properly for the playoffs,” Krishovich said. He appeared on the pitch early in the second half and soon became a hero. He won the penalty kick, followed by Piolo-Cervoni.

Grzegorz Krychowiak reacted harshly to the criticism

– Now it is a fashion to criticize Krishovia. Everyone would have come with me if I had played the first minute. I think this is how I responded to the criticism – he later said in the interview, which came as a bit of a surprise to the journalist. However, after the match against Scotland, many fans demanded that the defensive midfielder be put on the bench, and that too happened.

– Everyone has worked hard, but the most important thing is that we go to the World Cup. We have some amazing players who can prove we can play in the fourth big game in a row. There were good moments in the game and there were bad ones. In a few days no one will remember that style. We feel we need to move forward because we will not achieve much with a game like this in the championship – he concluded.
