Jerzy Brzęczek: We have fulfilled our first dream. Now it is time for the next one

The Poland U-21 national team has qualified for next year’s European Championship, achieving the first of its goals. During a press breakfast, head coach Jerzy Brzęczek summarised the concluded qualifying campaign, spoke about the development of the young players, and discussed plans for the final tournament. There was also no shortage of questions regarding the cooperation between the national teams and dreams related to the Olympic Games.

We have done it! Poland to play at the European Championship

The Poland U-21 national team will play at next year’s European Championship! The White and Reds finished their qualifying campaign in second place in their group, but advanced to the final tournament as the best runners-up of the qualifiers. Everything was decided by Tuesday’s Group F fixtures. Germany defeated Georgia, and Greece won 1-0 against Northern Ireland. Such a set of results means that the Poles can celebrate!

"I have reason to be very proud", says Head Coach Jerzy Brzęczek after match against North Macedonia

Six matches, six wins, leading the table — the Polish U-21 national team's record after the autumn part of the qualifiers is impressive indeed. The head coach agrees. "I would give the team a six myself. The difficulty level in these qualifiers increased with each match. The highlight was the match against Italy. For me, it is a source of great pride and satisfaction to be able to work with such a group of people — both the players and the entire coaching staff, everyone who makes up this team. We created a great atmosphere and did a lot of work. I just try not to get in the way", said Jerzy Brzęczek.
