"Throughout this period, of a year and three or four months, there have been all sorts of excuses and scenarios in the minds of some, mainly to justify incompetence and certain disastrous results. There were scenarios of understandings and deals between PSD and Nicușor Dan. But these scenarios were actually justifications for them to hide their incompetence. PSD is extremely disappointed, and you know this; I don’t need to tell you, about the choice that Nicușor Dan made last night. I’m not saying it’s unconstitutional; I’m not saying it’s illegal. But we would have expected that after four right-wing prime ministers, there would be a chance for those who won the elections. That is, for us to be given this mandate. Justified, I requested it yesterday. I want to be very clear. In the discussions we had at Cotroceni, I requested the mandate of prime minister. The solution the president offered was to grant this mandate to Luca Niculescu. Ultimately, these decisions show that there was never any understanding between Nicușor Dan and PSD. These scenarios existed, I repeat, only in the sick mind of those who try to hide their incompetence through justifications of this type. The president of PSD, Sorin Grindeanu, stated on Tuesday that the appointment of Luca Niculescu for the position of prime minister 'is not unconstitutional', but he would have expected president Nicușor Dan to appoint him." #SorinGrindeanu #PSD #LucaNiculescu (translated)

Tomasz Włodarczyk criticized Jan Urban's decisions, pointing out that if the goal was to gradually build a new Polish national team, more than the poor results, he was troubled by the mistakes in the selection of solutions. He mentioned, among other things, the withdrawal from the position of Kiwior at left back, the sudden return to a three-defender formation, and the omission of Wiśniewski, the resignation from Puchacz, and the placement of Świderski on the wing both when wingers were available and when strikers were lacking. The author assessed that Urban, as a coach, should observe more, yet he repeated the mistakes made by his predecessors. He noted that young players, including Nowak and Potulski, did not disappoint during the camp, and the mistakes concerning Mońca, Gurgul, or Mazurek could be considered mitigating circumstances. He added that the national team forgives less than clubs and should not be a place for regularly testing solutions that are highly unlikely to work. Włodarczyk also accused Urban of not providing enough options in attack and left back through his selections. He reminded that Poland played four matches in eleven days, and the coach should consider injuries, suspensions, and the course of the matches. After the loss in a key game, he considered the lack of options for substitutions in attack to be a serious mistake; he pointed out that a strong striker good in the air could have been useful in recovering from a deficit. The author assessed that Urban had little time, but wanted him to be given a chance for correction in November, as the camp provided him with some concrete answers. He acknowledged that others might find this insufficient, while emphasizing that simply changing the coach would not solve the problems, especially if done hastily. #ReprezentacjaPolski #JanUrban #Futbol (translated)

"From a financial point of view, perhaps the most favorable solution for Germany would be not to have a new financial program, but no one wants such a scenario because it is important for the effectiveness of European internal and external actions." German Chancellor F.
