The former Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has revealed that he is extremely excited to be part of the Poland national team once again after being recalled to play in the international team for the first time after two years. The 30-year-old goalkeeper has rarely featured in the first team of Manchester United in the last few seasons, which have also led to his position in the national team being under threat. The emergence of the Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has all but eliminated his chances of featuring in the Poland national team. Now, the injury to the Arsenal goalkeeper has opened a window for the former Manchester United goalkeeper.
Tomasz Kuszczak has frequently reiterated his desire to leave Old Trafford in search of the club first-team football so that he will be able to play international football on a regular basis. However, he has not been allowed to leave the club for the last few seasons, despite not getting first-team football. He recently completed a move to the Championship club Brighton and Hove Albion, and has been a regular player for them in the first few matches of the new Championship season. Now, the Poland national team manager has decided to call him.
“It was a surprise for me. For some time I was no longer in the picture and now I’m this close. Everything is going as it should: I changed club, I’ve had a good pre-season, I play regularly, I’m in good shape and now I received a call to the national team – these are only positive things. All the time I believed that playing regularly would bring me back to the team and indeed it did. I return to the team after a long break but I hope that it will show my good side and the coach writes my name on the teamsheet,” said Kuszczak.
