After kicking off their Nations League campaign with a 2-1 home victory against Wales in June, Poland have since accumulated only one point from a possible nine available.
A 2-2 draw away against the Netherlands was sandwiched between two defeats against Belgium, including a heavy 6-1 thrashing in Brussels.
Czeslaw Michniewicz, who has been in charge of the national team since January, sees his side sitting third in the group with four points from as many matches, but with Belgium and the Netherlands three and six points ahead of them respectively, their chances of finishing at the summit are extremely slim.
As one of 13 European nations heading to Qatar later this year for the World Cup, Poland will use their final two Nations League fixtures as preparation for their second successive appearance on the biggest footballing stage.
译文(自动翻译仅供参考):
今年6月,波兰队在主场2-1战胜威尔士,拉开了国家联赛的序幕。此后,波兰队只拿到了9分中的1分。
在客场2-2战平荷兰的同时,又两次输给比利时,其中在布鲁塞尔以6-1惨败。
切斯瓦夫•米契尼维茨自今年1月开始执教国家队,他认为他的球队在多场比赛中积4分排在小组第三,但比利时和荷兰分别领先他们3分和6分,他们出线的机会极其渺茫。
作为今年晚些时候前往卡塔尔参加世界杯的13个欧洲国家之一,波兰队将利用他们在国家联赛的最后两场比赛,为他们连续第二次登上这个最大的足球舞台做准备。
