– There will be changes in every formation – he admitted on Sunday at a press conference Jerzy Brzęczek and went to the last Polish training before the match with Bosnia and Herzegovina staff. He was to determine the final line-up for the match in Zenica, although more in the context of injuries and health of the players than the coach’s idea of games. With the theoretically weakest rival in the group, we should play more aggressively than with the Netherlands (0: 1), where we focused on defense and counterattacks, which is very important information for fans who criticize the coach for a minimalist attitude. There will be no revolution in the positioning on the pitch, but rather the tactics and tasks of the players will change. Personnel changes are to affect several people.

Goalkeepers test
What is certain is that Brzęczek – just like he did during last year’s edition League of Nations – will check two goalkeepers. Then he let our main goalkeepers play two matches. Now he has decided that everyone will have the opportunity to present themselves in September. After Wojciech Szczęsny played with the Netherlands, Łukasz Fabiański is to go to Bosnia and Herzegovina. For now, it is difficult to judge whether this means that this maneuver will be repeated in October, or after the September testing phase (as in the previous year), the selector will announce that the jersey with the number one will be handed over to one of them for a few months.
As for the changes in the line of defense, Brzęczek does not want to conduct a revolution among two stoppers. Kamil Glik and Jan Bednarek seem to be the first choice in every match, but the latter in Zenica may be changed by Sebastian Walukiewicz. The player Cagliari is highly rated by Brzęczek, and with whom to test the new man, if not with weaker rivals? The only question is whether the coach will make his debut in an important match for points. After all, in October we play a friendly match against Finland.
Castles will appear on the sides of the defense faster. There is a chance that we will finally see a left defender on the left back. He was heavily exploited during training Maciej Rybus, but also Michał Karbownik was included in the schemes on the wing. If the Lokomotiv player plays from the first minute, perhaps Karbownik will get a chance to make a debut in the national team at the end of the match. In this arrangement, Tomasz Kędziora or possibly Bartosz Bereszyński should play on the right side of the defense.
Grosicki and Góralski to exchange blows?
In the middle of the field it is possible that he will be involved in the exchange of blows with the Bosniaks Jacek Góralski. Brzęczek was pleased with his tenacity, tough and offensive game during the autumn matches of the national team against Slovenia and Macedonia, and it is likely that we will repeat this maneuver in the Balkans. Góralski would then play in tandem with Grzegorz Krychowiak, and there would be a place for Piotr Zieliński in front of them.
Compared to the match against the Netherlands, changes may also take place on the wings. Because he was praised for his performance in Amsterdam Kamil JóźwiakBrzęczek does not seem to want to give it up completely now. However, Kamil Grosicki is preparing for a longer game than recently. It seems that the West Bromwich Albion player can replace Sebastian Szymański on the pitch. Especially that the 21-year-old Dynamo Moscow player did not do as well in Amsterdam as in the autumn clashes, when he made his brilliant debut in the team. It should be added, however, that Szymański had problems with the ankle in the Netherlands. A small injury particularly disturbed him at the end of the match and it was not known whether he would be in full strength for Bosnia. The midfielder at the Sunday training of the team in Zenica, however, practiced normally and it seems that fight who will start the match from the bench, who will enter the last 20 minutes, will be played between him and Jóźwiak.
Arkadiusz Milik on the attack
In the attack, we have to see the staff Arkadiusz Milikwhich means that the two of our snipers will be treated fairly by the selector. Krzysztof Piątek came out in the basic line-up and played for an hour in Amsterdam, after which he was changed by Milik, now it should be the opposite. Although the changes during the match will depend on the development of events on the pitch, the result, cards and injuries of the players. Or maybe we will see two attackers at the end of the meeting?
This time, no one assumes that with an unfavorable result, the Polish team will not attack their rival and they will have a problem to get out of their own half, although Jerzy Brzęczek is sure that we will have a difficult match.
– We must be prepared for what we want to play, but with the awareness of the power of Bosnia and Herzegovina – said the coach at the conference. – In the match against Italy they showed that they are perfectly organized, disciplined and aggressive. In that game they fully deserved one point – our coach complimented the 49th team of the FIFA ranking. Beginning of the match Bosnia and Herzegovina – Poland on Monday at 20.45.
