It seems that Leo Beenhakker has really good influence on Polish players. Their performance during the sparring match with Finland was amazingly good and we could see some "fresh blood" in Polish lineup.

At the beginning of the match we could see some nerves and misunderstandings in Polish defence lines (it wasn't surprising - the goalkeeper, Sebastian Przyrowski, and four defence players altogether played 18 matches in national team so far). But after two wasted Finnish score opportunities, Polish goal was safe and sound for the rest of the match.

Adam Kokoszka, defender, was Polish captain in this match, although his first match in the national team was just one year ago and he doesn't play in his club team. In this sparring match he could prove that he is worthy wearing the captain's badge - he scored the only goal in this match (in 42. minute), and in the second half he could raise the score, but on of the Fins kicked the ball out right from the goal line.

Not too bad for a defender.

Another good player in this match was Kamil Grosicki. Player struggling with his personal problems (he was gambling addicted) said that "Leo Beenhakker has pulled him to the bright side of the moon".

Very good performance we could also observe by Radoslaw Majewski, Wojciech Lobodzinski, Jakub Wawrzyniak and Tomasz Zahorski. On the other hand, Leo Beenhakker should think seriously, whether he should give more chances to Pawel Brozek, Michal Golinski and Marek Zienczuk. These guys were the weakest link of the whole team.

The next match of Polish team is the friendly match with Czech Republic on Wednesday.
