Later, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/szczesny-wojciech/6NtwHZ7F/"]Wojciech Szczęsny[/a] joined as well. It wasn’t an easy situation.[/p][p][b]"Honestly, I think I wasn’t ready for that position at the time - not just in terms of football, but especially mentally.[/b][/p][p]"Even as a youngster, Wojciech stood out - he was confident. Physically, he still had some developing to do, but his talent was obvious right away. From the very first moment, you could tell he would become a top goalkeeper.”[/p][p]The Polish goalkeeper also mentioned the Conference League final in Prague. “You’d never expect [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/west-ham/Cxq57r8g/"]West Ham[/a] to win a European trophy. Maybe a cup run, a good showing in the FA Cup, but not a European title.[/p][p][b]"The final in Prague was extra special because I had about thirty family members there. After the match, we all celebrated together on the pitch and later at the hotel. An unforgettable moment.”[/b][/p][p][i]The full TV version of this episode of the Big Pete documentary series will be available on CANAL+ Sport and the CANAL+ streaming service in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Poland, Myanmar, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Romania, and Hungary, and on SuperSport in South Africa and Switzerland.[/i][/p]
