Polish volleyball players storm the group stage of the European Championship. Wards Nikola Grbic won all previous matches, losing only one set. Lukasz Kaczmarek plays a big role in success, he gets a lot of points from the coach. The striker emphasizes that he is not interested in “shouting” Bartosz Kurek from the squad.
The Polish volleyball team approached the current European Championship with great appetite. The White-Reds are the winners of the 2023 Nations League. Although Nikola Grbic cooled his enthusiasm before the start of the Eurowall, there is no doubt that his team is one of the main contenders for the gold medal.
Lukasz Kaczmarek commented on the rivalry with Bartosz Kurek
The Polish team has already taken steps in this direction. From the very beginning of the championship, he defeated the Czechs, the Dutch and the Macedonians (co-hosts of the tournament). Only the team of Roberto Piazza with high-scoring Nimir Abdelaziz was able to win a set with vice world champions. Although it is impossible to exclude a single opponent, the Poles will not face a serious test until the semi-finals.
From the very beginning of the tournament, Grbić changed the composition. At this point in the game, he can do it without worrying about the outcome. The Serbian cares about the health of the players, especially Bartos Kurek, who struggled with health problems before the championship. Thus, the coach gives Lukas Kaczmarek a chance to play. The best striker of VNL-2023 in an interview with Przegląd Sportowy Onet said that the team captain needs more time to get into the right rhythm. He appreciates cooperation very well, which does not consist in the exclusion of a competitor from the roster.
However, for me there is no such thing as “being the main attacker”. Bartek Kurek and I have a great duet and complement each other well. I think that’s the whole point of team sports. After the injury, Bartek needs a little more time and training to reach his optimal form. The European Championship is a very long tournament, so everyone will have the opportunity to play, show their best side and give something to this team.
Poland will face Denmark at the 2023 European Championship.
The next match of the group stage of the tournament in Skopje, the Poles will play on Tuesday, August 5. The Danes will become the rival of the white-reds.
