Waiting for Robert Lewandowski, unpublished appears
throughout the first stage both for its game and its scoring inefficiency,
Poland has all based on their defensive strength.
He concluded his three unbeaten matches (against Northern
Ireland Germany and Ukraine) and has not cared not have to change goalkeeper
midway through the tournament, injury Wojciech Szczesny, injured against the
Northern Irish and successfully replaced by goalkeeper Swansea Lukas Fabianski.
But his offensive contribution is scarce. Two goals, the
same that have served their opponent to enter pass for the first time in its
history the group stage.
Somewhat against Albania, who played with ten for the
expulsion of their captain Lorik Cana, and one against Romania (1-1), plus a
goalless matched against France it was enough to secure second place in Group A
behind the hosts.
Swiss team coach Vladimir Petkovic has proven in the
attack on young Breel Embolo, a front of 19 year old who for the moment has
come to him a little big competition, and Seferovic Haris. Neither you
satisfied at all, as has not lived up from the second line Xherdan Saqiri,
which expected more. Only, Granit Xhaka seems to begin to justify his move to
Arsenal.
In defense, like Poland itself has been effective, commanded
by the central German Hoffenheim Fabian Schär.
The Polish coach, Adam Nawałka, will be without young
Bastosz Kapustka, one of the sensations at the beginning of the tournament,
accumulation of cautions.
Petkovic, meanwhile, trusts so little of the offensive
power of your computer that put the entire workforce to throw shootout on
Thursday. Perhaps he recalled that at the 2006 World Cup, the Swiss missed all
three pitches that were in the penalty round against Ukraine (3-0).
