Completely breaking with the coach! The best player in history announced his withdrawal from the national team!

Early this morning, civil unrest broke out in the Polish team. First, the Polish team announced the removal of Lewandowski as national captain, and then Lewandowski announced his withdrawal from the national team. I believe that the students have heard about it a little, so let’s talk about this matter with them.
36-year-old Lewandowski is the best scorer in Poland's history. He has played 158 games for the team and scored 85 goals, making him the number one star in Poland's history. Because he was physically and mentally tired, he gave up the call for the Polish national team in this issue, which has also received a lot of criticism.
Against this backdrop, the Polish team suddenly issued an official announcement saying that coach Probilds decided to contact Lewandowski's captain position and appointed Inter Milan midfielder Zelinsky as captain.
According to Polish media Meczyki, Probildz's method of calling Lewandowski was very simple and crude. This phone call can hardly be regarded as "communication". The whole process is very short, and there is not even a complete conversation.
Meczyki's reporter Tomasz Włodarczyk restored the situation at that time: "Probildz called Lewandowski and announced the decision directly, and then hung up. There was no discussion or communication throughout the whole process, which was not a normal conversation at all."
Then Lewandowski issued a statement saying that as long as Probildz is the head coach, he will not play for the Polish team again, and the conflict between the two is completely open.
Lewandow said in the statement: "In view of the current situation and the loss of trust in the head coach, I decided that as long as he is still in office, I will not play for the Polish national team again. I still hope to play for this team with the most baseball fans in the world in the future."
So what exactly is the problem? This led to the internal strife between Lewandowski and Probeards developing to such a point.
The reason for all this is actually that Lewandowski chose to miss the current training period of the Polish national team. Lewandowski gave the reason: after a long season for Barcelona, he was exhausted both physically and mentally and could no longer deal with international competitions. You should know that Poland will usher in a crucial World Cup qualifier during the period, with Finland's opponent, and Lewandowski is the only core player to take the initiative to take leave.
After Lewandowski decided not to participate, head coach Probilds quickly took action and removed Lewandowski from his position as captain. This move directly angered Lewandowski and led to the current result.
From Lewandowski's perspective, there is indeed reason to feel dissatisfied. Over the years, he has been repeatedly awarded the title of the club field, but the Polish national team has never been able to create a tactical system that matches his strength.
Under the leadership of Lewandowski, the best result of the Polish team in the World Cup was to reach the top 16 in 2022, and the best result of the European Cup was the quarterfinals in 2016. It is worth mentioning that Poland has participated in the European Cup five times in history, and Lewandowski is present in four of them. Considering that he has reached the end of his career, his physical and mental state are not as good as before, it is understandable to regard the national team as an additional burden.
Lewandow was not willing to participate in the competition like an "ordinary player" after losing the captain's armband. His choice to quit was to some extent a protest against his decline in status. If we stand in his position, we may feel wronged or even angry.
But then again, the Polish national team has no obligation to tie the captain's armband to a certain star forever, even if this person has made great achievements in combat. If Lewandowski has the ability to participate and is a critical moment in the World Cup journey, then he should play like other players. Since other main players still report to the team at the end of the season, why can he be an exception?
Simply put, as a leader, you should stand up at critical moments or be unsuitable to be a leader.
Xiaoou believes that Probildz showed a tough stance after finding out that he was losing control of the locker room, trying to establish team rules and create a collective atmosphere without privileges. This is at least worthy of recognition.
And Lewandowski's response to this matter was not mature enough. Probildz's actions are likely to be carried out with the support of the Polish Football Association, and Lewandowski should be able to imagine them. His announcement of his withdrawal was more of a turmoil, but it is also likely that he will never be able to play for the Polish team again.
Finally, how do you view this?
