The "challenge" to Lewandowski failed, and the Polish coach resigned in shame

Written by Han Bing Being publicly "forced" out of class by the stars in the team may be a shame for all coaches. Belgian Tedesco withstood Courtois's challenge and was able to leave even if he was sacked, but the apology of France coach Domenech to the mutinous players at the 2010 World Cup is still a disgrace to the coaching community, and now Poland coach Probiertz is the new disgrace.

On June 8, Probelz announced the removal of Lewandowski as captain, and he probably did not expect that the countdown to his career as national team coach had begun, and Lewandowski claimed that as long as Probilz was there, he would not play for the national team. 4 days later, Probelz resigned after making an elegant statement "for the Polish national team". Compared to the defeat to underdog Finland in the World Preliminary Tournament two days ago, this departure is obviously more humiliating.

Polish media revealed that as early as March 24 against Malta, the generals were already at odds. At that time, in order to prepare for Barcelona's weekend La Liga game, Lewandowski, who was the national team captain, asked not to start, and after Poland's 2-0 difficult victory, Lewandowski, who played 24 minutes off the bench, returned to the dressing room and scolded the coaching staff and teammates, and almost everyone was furious with the arrogant captain.

Before the June qualifiers, Lewandowski informed Probilz that he was too tired to be recruited due to the long season, which deepened the dissatisfaction of the coaching staff and teammates. Lewandowski was aware of the criticism from the outside world when he was on vacation, and in order to save his image, he had to "participate" in the warm-up match against Moldova on June 6 - the 37-year-old Polish veteran Grositsky's national team farewell match, as the national team's old partner for many years, Grositsky was very dissatisfied with Lewandowski not participating in his farewell match. Although Lewandowski eventually showed up and posed with the whole team, he was not in the squad.

On June 8, Probelz informed Lewandowski in a brief phone call that he had been captained and that the new captain was Napoli midfielder Zielinski. Polish media revealed that the "team committee" composed of Zielinski, Frankowski, Kivir and Bednarek supported the coach to change the captain, while most of the players sided with the coach, former Poland international Glick bluntly said that it was a "historic decision", and Grosiecki, who was on holiday with him, said that "big things are coming".

The Polish media turned over old scores: When Poland lost in the UEFA Nations League group stage last year, Probelz told his players that "the 'little things' of the team should be enjoyed". On the team bus, Lewandowski played the song "Ma erzeczy" sung by Sirivia Gořeszčak. According to the Polish media, Probierts defined Lewandowski's move as a provocation to himself. This is a song that was first released in 2011, but I didn't expect it to become popular 14 years later due to the infighting among the Polish generals. Singer Sirivia also commented, believing that "it's all trifle". Probelz did not forget to laugh at himself, saying that "the Polish team has done an excellent job of promoting the singer". But Lewandowski announced that the head coach would not play for the national team while he was in office, which is obviously not a "trivial matter".

After 36 hours of struggle, Probelz had no choice but to "admit defeat". After losing to Finland on Tuesday night, he had strongly stated that he would never resign, and the president of the Polish Football Association, Kulesha, also said that he would not fire him after the talks, but there was a lot of pressure from public opinion, and the Polish players who originally supported him collectively remained silent and "backstabbed", and Probelz had to give up. Ironically, Probelz, which means "try" in Polish, tried to challenge Lewandowski's dressing room authority, but failed.

Because of his voluntary resignation, Probelz lost the 600,000 euros compensation for the last year of his contract, and the head coach and the biggest star of the team broke openly, and the coach basically became a victim. Probelz, who endured for two years, was also a relief.

However, this battle for generals has also greatly increased the popularity of the unknown Probelz, and the "cold coach" has become the focus of media attention.

Probilz was always in a suit and almost never smiled – as a player, he was badly injured by a kick in the cheek by a shoe spike, causing damage to some of his facial muscles and preventing him from making a laughing face. He even had to be careful when drinking coffee so as not to lose control of the muscles around his mouth and cause burns. This time, he was "forced to leave the palace" by Lewandowski, which obviously made him, who was not smiling, even more unable to laugh.

It should be said that this is another shameful moment in Probelz's life. At the age of 16, he hid in the trunk of a car without a West German visa and went to Belgium for a trial, and after the trial failed, he was arrested by the police at the train station and detained for the night, which was the most humiliating moment of his life.

After Probelz was forced to announce his resignation, he was not surprised by the silence on social media of the Polish Football Association officials and the national team players. He once admitted that there is no friendship in the football world, friendship only exists in private life, "After the first dismissal, my mobile phone did not ring for a day, and I also specially checked whether it was broken. When I became a coach again, my phone rang automatically......"
