[Football- International Friendlies] 10.6/ 20:45 Poland- Turkey

I don't think anyone expected that the Poles would be leading 3-0 against Ukraine after just 30 minutes. First of all, great set pieces gave us an advantage over our rivals. Interestingly, corner kicks were taken by several players: Piotr Zieliński, Michał Skóraś and Sebastian Szymański exchanged responsibility for this element of the game. Two of the three goals were from corners and perhaps this will be our secret weapon during the upcoming EURO 2024. The only pity is the injury and, above all, Arkadiusz Milik, who was only on the pitch of the National Stadium for a short time. Ultimately, the injury meant that he would not travel with the team to Germany. In his place, the debuting 19-year-old Kacper Urbański appeared and made a great impression on observers and fans.

A lot of minor injuries occurred after the match against Ukraine. Taras Romanczuk, Nicola Zalewski and Jakub Kiwior walked off the field with grimaces on their faces and I'm curious how Michał Probierz will arrange the lineup today. It seems that we should focus on players who will be fighting for points against the Netherlands in less than a week. One thing is certain, the Poles will face a difficult task in the match against Turkey. Will our compatriots pass this test?

The visitors naturally entered the main tournament of the European Championships. This is a nation that did great during the eliminations, taking first place in the group, at the expense of, among others, Croatia. The expectations are high, after all, this country is more or less important in European football and teams, mainly from Istanbul, regularly qualify for club competitions. Now there is a need for success in the national team and Arda Güler will certainly be such a gem. The Real Madrid midfielder is feeling better and better with the Royals and despite being injured in the return round, he was able to score as many as 6 goals in 10 league matches. The 19-year-old has a lot of potential and may be a future world star.

The Turkish team consists mainly of players who play in the Super League, but the leaders are players representing European teams. Ozan Kabak is very unlucky, he suffered an injury in a friendly match against Italy and we will probably not see him at EURO 2024. You should pay attention to names such as Semih Kilicsoy or Kenan Yildiz, who are young players who can make a difference in the offensive. Will we see this duo in Warsaw?

Corner kicks work well in friendly matches, so I will follow this route again in the Polish match. I use a threshold of 9.5 such set pieces. As I mentioned in the last text, the White and Reds practiced, among others: corners and two of the three goals were scored by Michał Probierz's players just after the restart from the corner. The numbers for Poles in terms of corner kicks are 6, 4, 17 and for Turkey: 5, 2, 7. We have a great course for set pieces and I'm happy to take it.
