Harry Wilson recognizes that the desire for scoring goals from Robert Lewandowski poses the greatest danger to Wales’ chances of qualifying for Euro 2024.
On Tuesday, Wales will compete against Poland in the Euro 2024 play-off final at Cardiff City Stadium for a chance to qualify for Germany’s summer tournament.
Wales. Wales is ranked 29th and Poland is ranked 30th in the FIFA world rankings. However, the visiting team has one of the all-time greatest goalscorers in football on their team.
Polish footballer Lewandowski has a record of 82 goals for his national team. He is currently playing for Barcelona at the age of 35 and is ranked as the fourth leading scorer in men’s international football in Europe. He falls behind Romelu Lukaku with 83 goals, Ferenc Puskas with 84 goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo with a whopping 128 goals.
According to Fulham forward Wilson, he is widely recognized as a dangerous individual.
He has an insatiable desire to score goals, which has been evident throughout his career as he has found the back of the net at every stop.
”
Although he may not be getting any younger, if we give him even a small chance at scoring a goal, he will definitely make the most of it.
Our priority should be to prevent him from advancing and to limit his opportunities.
“If we proceed with this decision, we have trust in the abilities of our team members to make a strong impact on the opposition.”
Poland secured their spot in the finals by defeating Estonia 5-1 in Warsaw on Thursday, but Lewandowski was unable to score. Wilson expressed uncertainty about this performance leading into their upcoming game.
Wales easily secured a resounding 4-1 win in the semi-finals against Finland, with Wilson displaying the same skill that Fulham supporters are used to seeing at Craven Cottage.
Wilson expressed that he believes he has reached a higher level. He mentioned that the decision to go to Fulham two-and-a-half years ago was significant for his career.
I believe I have progressed to a higher level.
I had received multiple loans from Liverpool. Despite my childhood dream of becoming a part of Liverpool’s first team and playing regularly, I was aware that it was unlikely to happen.
During my late teenage years, I strived to be a part of the team. However, at that time, they had what could be considered the top front three players in the world – Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane.
The loans I participated in greatly aided in my development as a player and increased my knowledge of the sport. As my life progressed, I also reached a point where I desired stability in my personal life.
“When the opportunity to join Fulham arose, I conversed with Marco Silva and I believe it was the ideal decision.”
Wilson turned 27 on Friday and is now one of the more experienced players on Rob Page’s team, earning his 50th cap in October of last year.
“A lot of the boys are still really young,” said Wilson, who is aiming to play at a third major tournament after Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
At the young age of 23, Ethan (Ampadu) has already accumulated 50 caps, displaying the level of experience our team possesses.
“Big Wayne (Hennessey), Ben Davies and Wardy (Danny Ward) have all been to three major tournaments already.
“They have previous experience and knowledge from participating in similar high-stakes matches. They consistently offer guidance and support to the younger players.”
