Poland boss praises Pietuszewski’s move to FC Porto | OneFootball

Oskar Pietuszewski made a name for himself in Poland before heading to FC Porto, where he had a very successful debut; in his country, there is already debate about the possible call-up of the winger to the main national team. Jan Urban, the coach, praised the player but urged caution before making that decision.

"It's a debatable issue. Some would say he could have been called up to the main national team. Of course, he could have. But it's important to consider what was best for him at that moment. Playing in the youth team and at the club or, for example, sitting on the bench of the main national team or playing 10/15 minutes? Is he better than Kaminski, Zalewski, etc.? It's a topic for discussion," he mentioned on Saturday, after an event by a Polish newspaper.

In a meeting with the press in Poland, he addressed the subject again. "Why should he be promoted to a higher level just because he left the Polish league for FC Porto? No, he won't go straight into the main national team because of that, but if he continues to play at the highest level, why not? In reality, we will all be watching his first steps at FC Porto, whether he plays more or less. It's a matter of observation," he explained, praising the choice of the 17-year-old footballer.

"It seems to me that the choice was very good because it's a technical style of football, and he is a player who has very good technique for his age, he is talented, has excellent dribbling skills. And, certainly, in such a team, it's easier to integrate into the group. An additional advantage is the fact that there are two compatriots there, very experienced, who play and will certainly help him in this initial adaptation. Can he play? Certainly, yes. He is a young boy and is joining a team with enormous potential," said Jan Urban.
