Earlier in the season Wojciech Szczesny threatened to pay homage to legendary Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski by growing his hair if his country were paired with England in the group stages at Euro 2012; the idea stemming from the elder statesman’s man of the match performance at Wembley against Sir Alf Ramsey’s side in 1973.
As it turned out the co-hosts, probably much to their disappointment, have not been drawn against the FA’s rudderless squad of thugs, thieves, cheats and ‘alleged’ racists which means the prospect of a long, curly-haired Wojciech is no longer on the horizon.
Alas, the Tomaszewski-Szczesny ties continue to hold strong with the former claiming the 22-year-old Arsenal man can become the greatest keeper in the world, so long as he continues to literally stretch himself to the limit.
Quoted by the Evening Standard’s Patrick Barclay, Tomaszewski, who is now a Polish MP, made clear his admiration for his young pretender.
“Szczesny has the potential to be one of the best — if not the very best — but in a few years, when he has more experience and, I hope, completed his physical development.
“Although it is a great advantage that he is very tall and has such good reach — along with excellent reflexes and all the other basic assets for a goalkeeper — he has a problem that comes with height in that he’s not as fast as he might be if he were smaller, and not as dynamic.
“He has to focus on that first metre of movement, which is mostly about the stomach. Movement begins with the stomach and back muscles. When Szczesny gets these right, the rest — the speed of the arms and feet — will follow.”
One thing that Szczesny certainly demonstrates on a daily basis is his quick tongue. Having dismissed Chelsea’s chances of winning the Champions League yesterday by suggesting they’ll get a thrashing at the hands of Barcelona, the birthday boy is today quoted as saying that Lukasz Fabianski is the best shit in the country…
The cheeky scamp.
After a night out on the piss theres always a movement in my belly, and in the morning it feels like something gets stretched pretty quickly! 🙁
Good one. I actually LOL’d at that
I love this guy….
Keep it up future-star!
surely the key to any kind of stretching is held by gotze
The third link is the same as the second one.
These comments are rather boring. Lets talk about chelsea getting trashed instead
A high injury score draw will do. I dont want to see chelsea destroyed in the first leg. Want them to have some hope for the 2nd and therefore it will affect their team selection for Saturday possibly.
Hahahaa, very funny on Lukas; I saw the news at the club website and I didnt like the way he referred lukas as the best #2 in the country.
But here you highlighted it more with humor.
I am still laughing by ” the best shit in the country”
Hilarious!
