A strong response to the criticism of Polish volleyball players at the World Cup. “Shame to steal”
Two matches and two wins. This is the balance of the Polish volleyball team at the World Championships in Thailand. The style of Polish game, however, does not impress, and on the internet it booked a lot.
Since Stefano Lavarini became the coach of the Polish volleyball team, the national team gets used to successful performances at large tournaments. Polish women consistently hung up the FIVB ranking, and eventually before the struggles in the World Cup 2025 be the third team in the world hierarchy.
Volleyball World Cup: Magdalena Jurczyk and Szymon Szlendak respond to criticism
The beginning of the tournament in Thailand, however, is not the dreamy one in terms of the style of the game that Polish women could imagine. White and red have a set of victories, playing in four sets, both Vietnam and Kenyan.
The defeat 15:25 in the second set of clash with Keny, but it can be quite dead. As we wrote more about in the post -match relationship in Wprost.
Polish women do not impress, but paradoxically, they already have a certain promotion to the 1/8 finals. And they can still be in the game for the highest goals at the most important event of this season.
However, the text appeared in Sport.pl, where the flashy title suggested that even two wins of Polish women were simply a shame. “What a shame!” – The first sentence of the Monday news of one of the largest sports portals in the country sounded.
“Polish women the greatest disappointment of the World Cup is inexplicable” – the currently changed title of the text written by Jakub Balceski is.
And we still read:
“Nobody else has not watched so badly Polish volleyballers for a long time. Nobody else has been funded by such unpleasant surprises. admits the author in the article prepared after the Poland – Kenya match.
And indeed, you have to agree that Poland during the 2025 World Cup does not present quality that could be observed in this nearby (pronounced league of nations) or a bit of further past (read from earlier seasons). However, the title “shame”, however, went directly to the Polish team.
“It’s a shame to steal, and have 6 points after two matches is joy,” added Szymon Szlendak, a national team manager on his stories on Instagram.
Magdalena Jurczyk also added her middle team, sharing Stories Szlendak. In an eloquent way … apologizing for the result achieved at the World Cup.
“I’m sorry we didn’t win 3 sets 25: 0” – wrote Jurczyk on Instagram.
And we will once again remind you that what is most important at the World Cup, still on the horizon. In the case of the style of Polish game, it remains to be hoped that the Lavarini team will prove once again that it is worth betting on it. And certainly not to cross out.
Poland – Germany at the end of the group stage. When is the match of Polish women?
German women will be the last opponent of coach Lavarini’s team in group competitions. The Poland – Germany match will take place on Wednesday (i.e. August 27) at 15:30.
– German women will play their style, which is very quickly. Typical German ball, playing in the version as soon as possible. German women do not have the potential to play “high football”. Rather, you should expect dragging actions, attempts to force an error, some plate, kiwy or change of rhythm. This will be the most difficult group match for Poland, so I assume, but the Polish women are still the favorites of this clash – admitted Wojciech Kurczyński for “Wprost”, in the past working in the colors of German Allianz MTV Stuttgart.
The matches of the 2025 volleyball tournament are shown on Polsat Sport antennas. In addition, the matches of the Polish national team will be shown in the open antennas of Polsat. Traditionally, online broadcasts will be available, among others on the Polsat Box Go platform.
