Jakub Moder believes he helped Poland answer a few critics against Spain. But he accepts they had a bit of luck in a 1-1 draw in Seville at Euro 2020. The recalled Albion midfielder played a key role in the Robert Lewandowski goal which gave Poland their point.
Jakub Moder said: “We’ve had some luck that we didn’t have in previous games. I saw a lot of negative comments about us. That we will lose 4-0 or 5-0. Virtually every player got hit for the match with Slovakia. Within our group, no one doubted and, even when there were some negative moments, we put it out of our heads.”
Although Moder looked to be unhappy at the time, he said he could have no complaints about the penalty, which was awarded after video review. But he remained confident it would not result in a goal.
Jakub Moder added: “Honestly speaking, I believed that either Wojciech (Szczesny) would save the penalty or the player would not score. I was lucky. I can’t hide that this penalty would go against me. I was clearly late.”
