The Poland national team manager Waldemar Fornalik has said that he feels that the national team has changed a lot in terms of attitude for the last few months ever since going out of the Euro 2012 in disappointing fashion. Poland played at the Euro 2012 as part of the hosts, but were unable to progress past the group stages of the tournament. In fact, they suffered a very humiliating exit from the competition, which has raised the questions about the future of the national team. Ahead of the match with Uruguay on Wednesday, the manager Waldemar Fornalik said that he is confident that the team will be able to improve on its results in the World Cup qualifying stages.
Poland have started the World Cup qualifying campaign for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil with just one victory in the first three matches. They will be playing against Uruguay in a friendly match, which gives Waldemar Fornalik the opportunity to test and see a few players. He has accepted the fact that the team was not at its best at the Euro 2012, but they have managed to change their attitude in recent weeks and are much competitive than before. He has also said that the team has an optimal squad at the moment, which is moving in the right direction.
“Over these last few months since I took over the team, the most important thing for me is that we have managed to change the attitude of the group, making it more expansive. The boys have found faith in their own abilities. They believe we can develop. We’re playing with our optimal squad. This is the last major test of the year, against a very strong opponent,” said the manager ahead of the Uruguay match on Wednesday night.
