Big mess in Poland team just over two weeks before the match against Israel in the opening of the European Championship 2021 campaign: Captain Adam Wzinski announced that he is leaving the team following a dispute with Polish leaders and disagreements with veteran US coach Mike Taylor.

It all started a few days ago when Taylor dropped Wachinski's name from the extended roster and explained to the country's media that the player decided to rest and not appear for games against Israel and Spain in the upcoming window that will be held at the end of the month.

"I want to correct what Coach Taylor said in the media," Wechinsky wrote in a statement. "It's not true that I decided to rest. I didn't mean to make a statement, but it hurts me that this is how advertisers like me so I have to respond."

According to reports in Poland, the cause of Wachinski's retirement is indeed a long-running dispute between him and the union leaders, probably because of his friendship with former NBC player Marcin Gortat, who is highly esteemed in local basketball but considered a bitter rival by the people running the industry in the country.

And Chinsky acknowledged in a statement that he was close to not going to the World Cup in China last summer but "I bit my teeth because it was an important goal that we worked for a long time." And Chinsky was indeed one of the team’s big stars that surprised everyone and finished eighth in the tournament.

"Unfortunately, despite the tremendous success and despite playing with injuries, my attitude and disrespect for me have not changed," the player wrote, "so I informed the coach that I cannot play on the team while I have negative feelings. I cannot understand where this attitude comes from. The president of the union to me. I'm just a simple person who has no power for these dirty games that hurt my personal and professional life. "

And the 30-year-old Chinesko is considered one of the top players in Polish basketball in the last decade. He has been playing in Malaga since 2016 and even won the EuroCap in 2017. In his title closet there are also two championships and two trophies in Poland and several other personal titles, which he won following his excellence in the local league.

The Polish team was inaugural qualifying for the European Championship 2021 at home with Israel, Spain and Romania. On 20.2 she will host Israel in Galibica and on 23.2 she will stay in Spain with Zaragoza.
