Does Bartosz Kurek miss Poland?
TVP Sport journalists talked to the 36-year-old about whether he misses Poland after so many years of performing abroad. – I think not. We spend half the year in Poland. Although sometimes the League of Nations lasts weeks abroad, Ania and I are still in the country for several months, he said.
– So far, we have lived very well in this rhythm and we have not felt any particular longing. Both my wife and I know perfectly well what my job is. I'm not in Japan as a punishment in any way, I do what I like and it's a pleasure. They still pay me for this! Each such trip is a good opportunity for us to gain new experience. We always make good use of our holiday time in Poland, even though sometimes I'm not at home because of training camps, he added.
Bartosz Kurek's surprising reaction to the question about ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle
At one point, the question was asked “what about Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle”, with which he has been associated for some time. The captain of the Polish national team was surprised by his reaction and said that the team was playing better and better. – The club's volleyball players have recently won several matches in a row. They may not have been the strongest rivals, but it does not change the fact that the Kędzierzyn team will be dangerous opponents in the quarterfinals – he continued.
– I am waiting for Aleksander Śliwka's return, as is the entire Polish volleyball team. This will be a strong, positive kick for this team. From what I know, it's getting closer to the game. I keep my fingers crossed for him, he emphasized.
When asked about media reports linking the 36-year-old with the three-time Champions League winner, the player replied evasively. – I will answer that it is very ennobling to be associated with such a club. We'll see how it goes and where it ends in the end, he concluded.
