“I know that in the case of failure, people often talk about the referee, but I have no intention of clinging to that. No need to excuse.”
These are the calm sharing of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny after his Barcelona must stop in the Champions League after the match against Inter Milan. Speaking on Canal + Polonia, the Polish goalkeeper made noticeable judgments about the executive work of his compatriots, the referee Szymon Marciniak, when the black king made controversial decisions, especially unfavorable situations for the Catalan team.
Instead of blaming or seeking to cure failure, Szczesny shows a professional attitude and respects the final decision of those who hold the balance.
When asked specifically about the controversial penalty situation when Pau Cubari was said to have made a mistake with Lautaro Martinez in the penalty area, a decision that Var had intervened to change the original decision of the arbitration, the goalkeeper said:
“At that time, I stood close and, honestly, I thought there was no penalty in any form, but it was clear that Pau did not touch the ball so a penalty was blown. It was a quick ball and decided that was made like that. Nothing to say more.”
In the end, Szczesny also confirmed that the defeat in the Champions League will not affect the preparation and spirit of the whole team for the upcoming important match in La Liga, the confrontation with Real Madrid. He confidently said: “I think there is no need to encourage anyone for the most important match of the season, the match can decide the La Liga championship.
I believe that this team will recover enough mental and physical to play in the highest level, win the match of Clasico and almost decide the championship. ”
Winning against Real will help Barca almost reach the throne of La Liga. Therefore, the former Juventus star wants his teammates to brush the Champions League sadness to wholeheartedly focus on the upcoming great great battle.
