Striker of the Polish national team and FC Barcelona Robert Lewandowski did not guarantee his presence at the 2026 World Cup after the defeat of the Polish national team by France in the 1/8 finals of Qatar in 2022.
“There is still a long way to go and this decision will be influenced by several factors. I need to be happy while playing. This is important even for the near future. Obviously I am when we try to attack. When we play defense, there is not much joy. I do not like. Many factors will influence this,” he commented as soon as the game was over.
Thus, Lewandowski lamented the tactical approach, preferably defensive, deployed during most World Cup matches in Qatar, whose participation culminated in a 3–1 defeat at Al-Tumama Stadium against the defending champions.
“We gave it our all, we fought and created some chances, especially in the first half. Too bad we didn’t use them.”Lewandowski pointed out that they were trying to control France and “even after their first goal It was about playing and creating problems for them, but it wasn’t enough.”
“At some point in the game we cleaned too much in our area and they took advantage of it. The gaps between the lines have become too wide,” said the Barcelona striker, who during his long career in the Polish team has achieved 78 goals and that he leaves Qatar 2022 with two goalsthe only goal scored in the World Cup by a 34-year-old Polish element.
