Robert Lewandowski declared that he will not play for the national team for the time being.
Lewandowski said on his personal SNS on the 9th (Korea Standard Time), `In consideration of this situation and the loss of trust in the Polish national team coach, Mihau Provietsi decided not to play for the national team while he was the coach. I hope one day I can play for the best fans in the world again,' he said, announcing his tentative retirement from the national team.
It is a shocking declaration. Because Lewandowski is the best player in Polish football history. Lewandowski started playing for Poland in 2008 when he played for the prestigious Polish club Lech Poznan. He has played 158 A matches in a whopping 17 years so far. He scored 84 goals and five assists in 158 games. He is a legendary player who is the most capped player in Polish football history and the most scored player in the history of the national team.

Players who join the Korean national team including Cha Bum-keun, Park Ji-sung and Son Heung-min announce that they will retire from the national team for a while due to coach Cha Bum-keun, and Son Heung-min. Polish people will be in shock.
The problem with this case is as follows. Lewandowski asked the national team and coach Mihau to take a break due to mental and physical fatigue ahead of this June's A-match. The European qualifiers for the World Cup are underway, but the ranking battle is not fierce yet, and Poland was already at the top of the group with two wins in two games, so Lewandowski seems to have decided that now is appropriate if he takes a break.
Lewandowski was born in 1988 and is entering his late 30s. I played over 50 games for Barcelona this season, so I would have liked to focus on my rest after the season.
However, Mihau was very unhappy with Lewandowski's decision and deprived Lewandowski of his captaincy. Lewandowski has been the captain of Poland's national team since 2014, losing his captaincy 11 years later. Lewandowski didn't even complain to the coach, but as a player, it must be very unfair.
In response, global soccer media Golcom reported that Lewandowski's announcement came just hours after Poland decided that Mihau would be deprived of Lewandowski's captaincy and hand over the armband to Piotr Zielinski instead. The honor began in 2014 when Lewandowski succeeded Jakub Vwashchkovsky in this role. The official reason for the change of captaincy has not yet been revealed.'
