HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Poland manager Michal Probierz wants his players to focus on the positives even though they were beaten 2-1 by the Netherlands after conceding a late goal in their opening Euro 2024 game on Sunday.

Probierz's side took an early lead, and despite much pressure from the Dutch, had chances to score again, both before and after Wout Weghorst's 83rd minute winning goal, and the manager had words of comfort for his players.
