Szczesny: I can accept being a substitute for the Lion, but whether to renew the date and decide with my family

May 16th, after defeating Espanyol 2-0 away, Barcelona confirmed to win the La Liga championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule. After the game, Szczesny was interviewed by Polish media Eleven Sports, talking about his feelings from retirement, comeback to winning the championship in the past season.

Talk about Yamal

"He performed abnormally, his talent and level were incredible, and the maturity he showed in the game was something I could not believe. A 17-year-old player should not know when to speed up, slow down, shake, pass or possess the ball, and may sometimes lack the accurate grasp of the timing. If it were still at Juventus, Allegri might scold him for this (laughs), but his performance in the game deserves all the praise. I silently hope , he will win the Golden Globe Award by the end of this year. "

Talking about comeback and future

"In the process of comeback, I probably didn't encounter any obstacles. The only problem is that I will no longer consider which golf course to play tomorrow, but rather consider my future, but it is pleasant. It is also time to discuss this topic with the club because they also have this intention, and I want to wait for the end of the season before talking about renewal. "

Will I accept the role of a substitute goalkeeper next season?

"I think if I choose to renew my contract, it's probably to make sure I'm still a reliable choice on the bench next season, and I have to make a decision, which is a whole new situation for me. Psychologically, I can take the role of Ter Stegen as a substitute and help him. Whether I'm a No. 1 goalkeeper or a No. 2 goalkeeper, it's not the key to determining whether I'm willing to stay or not, what really matters is the situation of the family. So it's going to be my decision with my family to see if we're willing to live in sunny Marbella or equally sunny Barcelona."
