It is an unwritten rule that, while the World Cup is on, do not touch on club topics. Especially if they are sensitive. It seems that Kamil Grabara, who has been characterized by the media around the world, perhaps too harshly, as the worst teammate ever, doesn’t know (or doesn’t care) about that rule. The reason is Grabara’s reaction to the big mistake of his club colleague – not the other one – Matthew Ryan at the beginning of the second half of the match between Australia and Argentina. The Australian representative tried to dribble under pressure, first Rodrigo de Paul, then Julian Alvarez, but the second time he failed, the Manchester City striker punished him with a goal, which was enough for the scathing advertisement of the Pole.Peter Drury 🗣️ “They needed no gift yet they were offered one, Ryan wants the ground to swallow him and Alvarez wants the ground to embrace him”😆😆 pic.twitter.com/QYPpYGXzDK— Redwan Roktim (@Redduuu10) December 3, 2022 “Oh, it must be because of politics,” wrote Camille Grabara on Twitter, matching the quirk of the man with whom he shares the Copenhagen dressing room. Why Grabara got involved in politics becomes clear by looking at the name-calling history of the two goalkeepers in the last few months.Must have been politics, for sure😏— Kamil Grabara (@Kamil_Grabara1) December 3, 2022 Ryan arrived in Denmark this summer as a big signing from Sociedad. He wanted to have certain minutes in order to maintain his form before the World Championship in Qatar, however, not everything went according to plan. Grabara has a somewhat longer tenure in Copenhagen, where he arrived in July 2021 from Liverpool. He was already injured in the second round and that’s why Ryan was defending. His score was six league games, two games of the qualification and two in the group stages of the Champions League. When Grabara was cleared to play and returned to the starting lineup, Ryan shouted that Kamil defended for ‘political reasons’, not goalkeeping skills, that the leaders of the Parken Stadium club favor the Pole, who is the third goalkeeper of that national team at the current World Cup.Messi makes history as Argentina see off Australia to book the 1/4 finals spotGrabara hit back at Ryan directly as the championship went on.”Normally I don’t comment on the performance of my teammates, especially if I’m not on the pitch, but I can only say that there is a reason why we are ninth in the Danish Superliga and we have scored goals. That says enough. Otherwise, I don’t see any competition at all, I have reason to believe that I am the first goalkeeper of Copenhagen”, Grabara confidently claimed during October, in the period when Ryan conceded seven goals in six league matches.Drogba claims Mbappe is the most complete striker in QatarGrabara did return and kept a clean sheet in the last three matches before the tournament in Qatar, which only encouraged Matthew Ryan to think about a club change in January.”Matthew prepared well for the World Cup, so moving to Copenhagen benefited him. And now we will make sure to find him a new club, which shouldn’t be difficult, because he defended all four matches on the biggest stage. And that’s how he recommended himself to some of the best clubs in the world,” explained Mikel Beck, manager of the former goalkeeper of Brighton, Valencia and Bruges.A possible 15 match suspension for Uruguay defenderAnd Ryan himself seemed calm after a defeat which sent his Argentina home.”There were a lot of positive moments at the World Cup, ups and downs, from which we can learn. That’s exactly what I’m going to do after the mistake I made in the second half of the duel with Argentina. I will come back stronger. I will certainly analyze that omission. It’s true that it hurts now, but it will make me stronger,” the Copenhagen goalkeeper is confident.QATAR 2022 WORLD CUP ROUND OF 16Sunday18:00: (1.35) France (5.30) Poland (10.0)22:00: (1.60) England (3.80) Senegal (7.25)
