Defence
The right-back of the team will be another Pole – what’s with them and difficult tongue-twisting names? – who goes by the name of Bartosz Bereszyski. Keeping his name aside, the 24-year-old is quite a talented fullback who plies his trade in Italy for Sampdoria. Bereszyski would do a commendable job in defence while also playing a good support role to the winger.
At right centre-back, Sokratis Papastathopoulos will take guard with a name longer than the wall of China. The Greek defender plays for Borussia Dortmund and is among the most revered players in his position due to his commanding presence and a good eye for a pass.
Grzegorz Wojtkowiak of Legia Gdansk will partner the Greek in the middle. He might be somewhat of an unknown entity but has a lot of experience under his belt. Indeed, he has played 24 times for his national team – guess which? – Poland and can hold his own in pressure situations.
And finally, at left-back, we have yet another Polish defender, Artur Jdrzejczyk, who makes forward runs as mazy as his name. Another rather obscure player, he has played 30 times for Poland and does a decent job on the left.
