Szczesny, confidential

Date:

Because it was unexpected Wojciech Szczesny (34 years old) will make his debut tomorrow (4:15 pm) in Alavés-Barça in matchday 9 of the League, the Barça team will have two weeks until Barça-Seville (Sunday 20th, 9:00 pm ) to get familiar with a Polish name with a complicated spelling and impossible to pronounce. The first is solved with a wonderful ‘control c and control v’, but the second can cause a sprained tongue. To solve this there are family and professional shortcuts. Marinehis wife called him Wojtus in the loving messages he offers her on social networks. And at Juventus, his last club, his teammates shortened (and phonetics cheated)Wojtek‘) to baptize him as Tek saida nickname accepted by the new Barça goalkeeper, who trained yesterday for the first time with Hansi Flick.

With the introductions made, no need as he is a prestigious goalkeeper with a past at Brentford (2009-10), Arsenal (2010-15), Roma (2015-17), Juventus (2017-24) and Poland (84 caps and participation in four European Championships and two World Cups), you can investigate the Szczesny inside. And his life goes on a long way considering he left his native Warsaw at the age of 16 to join Arsenal’s youth football team in 2006.

There is only a little left 18 years after that teenager, he was said to be a bit arrogant then. Father of Liam6 years old and crazy about football (they can now find a place for him at Barça Escola more as a player than as a goalkeeper), and Noeliaborn on July 3, was married from 2013 to Marina Lutzenkoactor, singer and songwriter who was born in Ukraine, although from the age of two he moved with his family to his grandparents’ Poland. Talented as a child in festivals, TV competitions and films, he was the star of successful musicals and devoted himself professionally to his passion, even overcoming a vocal polyp for which he was operated on. He has won the world of entertainment, is on the cover of magazines and his video clips have thousands of followers.

Wojtus and Marine They were destined to be an ‘artistic’ couple. The goalkeeper goes from a boy to a ballroom dancer, as he practices throwing the javelin. At Arsenal, as a 2015 report confirms, he dared to play the piano with ease. And when he announced his retirement, he did not put aside the study of architecture. Meanwhile, he played golf in Marbella and filmed a documentary about his life. He parked it when Barça came calling.

The goalkeeping thing came late, as a teenager, despite the fact that his father, Maciejhas been a goalkeeper for Legia and an international in Poland. your brother, Januaryalso donning gloves and still playing for modest Gwardia. And it is dizzying because he started at the age of 14 at Agrykola in Warsaw, at 15 he moved to Legia and at 16 he went to Arsenal.

An accident at the ‘Gunner’ gym at age 18 (he broke both arms doing weights) forced him out for five months and marked his character. A loan move to Brentford may have cost him, but he returned mentally stronger. He showed it, like when he boasted of taking possession from two of the best goalkeepers in the world: Allisonalready in Rome Buffonat Juventus.

He has character, a lot, and for years he has been doing meditation exercises to relax. And that’s not all. It’s common knowledge that sometimes you can’t resist a cigarette to combat stress. He maintains that it’s sparse and it’s good for him, although he doesn’t always choose the right place to do it. At Arsenal, in his last year, 2015, he received a heavy fine of Arsene Wenger not for smoking, which he accepted, but for doing so in the locker room, a rule he knew and broke. At that time I was a smoker. Now, only occasionally.

In 2021, during the Euro Cup, paparazzi caught him smoking a cigarette before Poland-Spain. And in 2022, with Poland also after beating Wales 1-0 in the Nations League, he told his coach at the time, Czesław Michniewiczthat the smoke coming out of the showers was due to hot water steam, although he was not fooled by the smell of the technician, who later explained it sympathetically.

At Juventus, the ‘Tek said‘ He explained that he no longer needed to hide because he had received permission even from the psychologist to do it occasionally wherever he wanted “so as not to damage his mental well-being.” In Barça, it is felt that they will not be kind and have to wait to win a title to assign themselves a myth ‘for how well I have done, a cigarette for my chest’.
