Unfair treatment and missed opportunities

Polish football players often face injustice and subjective decisions made by selectors, which can have an impact on their careers. Kamil Grabara, a young goalkeeper for German club Wolfsburg, is experiencing this firsthand. Since Michał Probierz became the head coach of the Polish national team, Grabara has not been called up for any training camps. According to a German journalist, he should be competing with Łukasz Skorupski for the number one spot in the national team.

Debut and missed chances

Grabara made his debut for the Polish national team on June 1, 2022, in a match against Wales. He was also part of the previous squad during the World Cup in Qatar. However, his performances for Wolfsburg have not convinced Probierz to call him up for training camps. Despite his good performances, Grabara does not have the trust of the head coach and the goalkeeper coach, Andrzej Dawidziuk.

Recognition from Wojciech Szczęsny

Wojciech Szczęsny, the captain of the national team and someone who sees potential in Grabara, admits that the young player has something extra. Szczęsny believes that Grabara could already replace him at Juventus starting from next year, and he is surprised that Grabara is not on the list of called-up players for the national team.

Opinions from German journalists

However, Grabara's absence from the national team has not gone unnoticed. One German journalist, Franz Krafczyk, believes that the goalkeeper should be called up for the Polish national team. If he maintains his good form, he cannot be constantly ignored, says the journalist. Krafczyk also disagrees with Mateusz Borek, who stated that Grabara could currently play for the German national team as their number one goalkeeper. The German journalist believes that Grabara could be among the best goalkeepers in Germany, but it would not be easy due to competition.

Perspective from Polish Bundesliga commentator

Tomasz Urban, a Polish Bundesliga commentator, has a broader perspective on Grabara's situation. Urban predicts that Grabara could end up at Bayern Munich and defend their goal for many years. Although he does not compare the Polish goalkeeper to the legendary Manuel Neuer, he believes that Grabara could already be in a top German club, such as Bayer Leverkusen.

The story of a talented goalkeeper

Kamil Grabara's story is that of a young talent with a lot to offer but not given a chance to prove his potential in the Polish national team. We are dealing with an example of a system where the doubts of the selector can jeopardize a player's career. Only time will tell what the future holds for Grabara and whether he will be appreciated by Polish football authorities.
