A Polish Football Federation (PZPN) announced, through a short announcement that it was issued on official platforms early this Saturday afternoon, that Jakub Kaminski was dismissed from the concentration of Poland's selection due to an injury.

Kaminski focused on succeeding in Benfica

Back in Benfica, Kaminski will now have time to recover from the injury and show that it may be an initial option for Marco Silva. Moreover, the extreme guarantees to be happy with the change this summer to Lisbon.

“It’s definitely a step forward. When Benfica contacts us, you don't think twice. I really wanted to join such a big club. It is extremely exciting to face this pressure and competition for a place in the squad. It is not easy, everyone wants to play, everyone has minutes of play and the quality of the players is huge. It's the strongest locker room I've ever been to. For each position, there are two excellent players. I have always fought for my place and now I do not give up, although it is not easy ", stressed the player, in statements given to the Polish television station TVP SportHe moved from the German championship to the I League.

“Bundesliga? I think it's similar, although the Portuguese league is different from German. Benfica usually dominates games, we have about 70 percent possession of ball, so you have to look for spaces between formations and create opportunities. In the championship, we hold ball ownership longer than in the Europa League. There is different, the games are more open and that is better for me, because I can take advantage of my speed, my ability to position myself and my dribbles. Adaptation after transfer to Lisbon is still ongoing. Physically, I feel better and better, I needed time to recover the shape,” said the eagle athlete.

“ I'm gonna do everything I can to give the coach arguments, just like it did in the game against Milan in San Siro, when I scored a goal and made an assist. I intend to fight for my place. Only then can I prove my worth. The beginnings are usually difficult and I believe that in Benfica, the best is yet to come. I take every moment in this club and I'm convinced I'm evolving. The simple fact that I represent a team like this is a challenge, the awareness that you always have to be ready to face pressure gives me strength. I like these challenges and give myself time to earn more minutes. Patience and work are fundamental”, he concluded.
