Head coach of Poland Jan Urban has defended his team’s 2-2 draw against Nigeria in yesterday’s friendly game in Lisbon, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Poland came from behind twice to draw against Nigeria scoring late in both halves, a result that at least spare the coach his job after a run of defeat including in the world cup playoff.
Despite halting a losing run, the media were still heavily critical of the team under his guidance casting doubts over his continued stay as coach of the team.
He was asked if a defeat yesterday would have cost him his job and he said: “I wasn’t concerned about that we conceded first again, because we were playing well and we continued to play well even after the goal”, he said at the post match presser.
“It was a really good match from our side against a good team, because you could see how they operate the ball, how they play…”
