Lewandowski, who is also the team's star striker, was unhappy with the decision and decided to leave the national team. He stated that he will not play for Poland while the current coach, Michal Probierz, is in charge.
Many Polish football legends have expressed their disappointment with Lewandowski's behavior. Wojciech Kowalczyk, a former player, said that Lewandowski "acted like an idiot" in this situation.
Grzegorz Lato, another legendary player, was even more critical. He felt that Lewandowski's actions were unacceptable, particularly his decision to threaten not to play for the team unless the coach was replaced.
The situation highlights the challenges that can arise when there are disagreements between players and coaches in the world of sports.
