Bartosz Kurek did not want to talk about it. Words that grab the throat
The absence of Bartosz Kurek in the semi -final match laid a shadow at the Saturday clash for the final of the World Cup 2025. The captain of Poles shared his feelings.
Even before the start of competition in the Saturday semi -final Poland – Italy, the most important information turned out to be … the outfit of the captain of the Polish national team. It turned out that Bartosz Kurek could not support his colleagues in a different way than as a reserve libero, only inscribed in the match report.
The attacker suffered an injury, which most likely excluded him from the decisive two matches of the tournament in the Philippines.
Bartosz Kurek about his injury at the World Cup. Sad words of the captain of Poles
It is difficult to expect Kurek to manage within a dozen or so hours dividing the semi -final from the match for a bronze medal, with a torn abdominal muscle.
After a defeat in the semi -final with the captain of the national team, Marcin Light from Polsat Sport talked. “Kuraś” was clearly touched on how the unfortunate scenario he prepared for him. Unfortunately, this is not the first injury of an experienced volleyball player in the representative season. Kurek also had to give up performances in the League of Nations 2025, preparing under the World Cup in the Philippines.
– There is nothing pleasant to watch such a match on the side. Torn muscle. Such a triviality may cause me to fight for my dreams today. I want to thank the boys because they gave their best. Italians were better. We have to try to gather and fight for the bronze medal – said after a defeat in the semi -final the captain of the Polish national team clearly moved.
