Veteran Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny has gradually secured his place in Barcelona’s starting lineup. However, he admits that he had no big expectations when joining the club.
Details: After keeping a clean sheet in Barcelona’s dominant quarterfinal victory over Valencia in the Copa del Rey, Szczęsny acknowledged that playing for the Catalan club has been a real challenge for him.
Quote:
"Flick's decision means I’ll play in the next match. I had no expectations when I arrived here—I just tried to work hard and be as prepared as possible for any opportunity to play. Right now, the team is performing well, and apart from a few minor incidents, I haven’t managed to mess things up, so I’m happy.
But I still need to work on a few things. I won’t hide that playing with such a high defensive line is something new for me, and it’s great that even at this stage of my career, I can still learn and improve," Szczęsny told Polish broadcaster TVP Sport.
