Sports selection and game orientation of footballers in Poland

Abstract

The Republic of Poland is one of the largest countries in the central-eastern part of Europe. Poland, as a major European football country, has created a fairly powerful and flexible system of specialized training and sports training for players of various roles. The presence of the highest professional football division – "Ekstraklasa", whose clubs represent Poland on the international stage in competitions for European cups, as well as three semi-professional football leagues requires a significant number of high-quality players, coaches, specialists involved in the development of the country's football industry. Over the past decade and a half, Poland has nurtured several generations of world-class players. Veterans of the Polish national football team have reached the highest level of skill and achievement. First of all, we are talking about Robert Lewandowski and their partners from Kadra, as the main football team of Poland is called. But their talent was not given from the sky, and the clubs of the Polish "Ekstraklasa" continue to release many quality players from their academies into the big football world, which implies a systematic, systematic and deeply thought-out development of football youth to the smallest detail. Therefore, the recent successes of Polish football, and, in particular, the entry of the national team into the final part of the 2020 European Championship (the Poles have not missed the continental championships since 2008) are not accidental. The latter factor suggests that when the time comes for a generational change in the Polish national team, even if there is no player in the team who can be compared in skill level with Robert Lewandowski, the overall quality of the players will undoubtedly steadily increase thanks to the thoughtful and consolidated actions of the functionaries of the national football association, coaches, football specialists.
