Recently, Szczesny’s brother Jan Szczesny accepted an interview with sportowefakty. He talked about his brother’s current situation in Barcelona.
In the recent Champions League match, there was a controversial scene in Barcelona's match against Club Brugge. In the stoppage time of the game, Szczesny made a mistake that led to a goal by the opponent's player, but referee Anthony Taylor believed that the opponent had committed a foul first and canceled the goal.
Szczesny's brother Jan Szczesny commented on the situation in an interview: "For me, this is a 50-50 situation. If the referee did not call a foul, he can also justify it. I can only be happy that he decided to cancel the goal."
Jan Szczesny was not surprised by Barcelona's recent performance. He believes that opponents have gradually adapted to Barcelona's high defensive style and found countermeasures: "High defense is indeed easy to counterattack, whether it is Real Madrid or Bruges. Barcelona's style is always exciting. They are not aiming for a 1-0 win, but a 7-0 victory. It doesn't matter even if five goals are conceded, I like this style."
Due to the injury of the main goalkeeper Joan Garcia, Szczesny was able to get more playing opportunities. Jan Szczesny said: "We all know that Szczesny is the second goalkeeper, and he has been prepared for this. Whether to change the goalkeeper depends on when Joan Garcia fully recovers. From a coaching point of view, the goalkeeper position is very important. It is better to wait for two more weeks than to make changes prematurely."
Szczesny performed well in the game against Real Madrid and saved Mbappe's penalty kick. His brother praised his performance in penalty kicks: "Szczesny is unique in penalty kicks. Players facing him will feel pressure and will not shoot as usual."
In addition, a documentary about Szczesny was also broadcast on Prime Video, recording his career and personal life. Jan Szczesny said the film moved him and his family deeply, but he believed the material was enough to make a series.
Finally, Jan Szczesny revealed that Szczesny is now more willing to sit on the bench and observe his teammates, ready to help the team at any time: "He has experienced many important games, and now is an opportunity for young people. Joan Garcia is an excellent goalkeeper, and Szczesny is always ready, but he is now more willing to be an observer."
