Jakub Kiwior, Arsenal’s young defender, has endured a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign alongside the Polish national team.
Hailed as one of Poland’s most promising young talents, Kiwior was expected to be a defensive pillar for the team at this year’s tournament. However, Poland’s first two matches have highlighted the challenges Kiwior has faced.
In the match against the Netherlands, Kiwior made defensive errors that contributed to Poland’s defeat. While he performed better against Austria, Kiwior was still unable to help his team avoid another loss.
Kiwior had only earned 10 caps for Poland before participating in Euro 2024. This lack of international experience in major tournaments like the Euros could be a factor in Kiwior’s struggles to perform at his full potential.
Despite this, Kiwior has one more match to improve his performance and help Poland end Euro 2024 on a positive note.
With his potential, Kiwior has all the makings of a top defender in the future. Hopefully, he will continue to learn and grow to contribute more significantly to the Polish national team in the years to come.
Poland faced very strong opponents in Group D, including the Netherlands and France. The absence of key players due to ιnjury also impacted Poland’s overall strength.
Therefore, Kiwior shouldn’t be overly criticized for his mistakes.
The key takeaway is for Kiwior to learn from this tournament and keep striving to improve himself.
