Changing the captain in the Polish volleyball team. Nikola Grbić just announced this
End of #Gangułygo? It looks like when reading the words of coach Nikola Grbic from Agnieszka Niedziałka’s conversation. The Sport.pl journalist questioned the Poles coach.
“Bald Gang” is a term for the Polish national team in which Bartosz Kurek is the captain. This situation from the end of the stage of the game in the team of Michał Kubiak, an earlier captain, has come and was accepted with great approval. #Gangogłygo consistently reigned in social media, describing a team that in 2024 reached for their coveted – though not gold – because the silver, Olympic medal.
Bartosz Kurek will not be the captain of the volleyball team. Who’s successor?
The interview with the national team coach appeared on Sport.pl, and you can find a lot of interesting threads, both about selection and several things that heated public opinion.
However, it turns out that this is not all, because you can find out, among others About the upcoming change of the era, looking at the captain’s function in the Polish national team of volleyball players. Sticking that Kurek was among those appointed for the 2025 season.
– He said he would like to focus more on being a player. I never asked him to take so much. I didn’t say there was a situation that I can’t take care of myself. But he can’t change it. This is how it is built. He feels that he has to do it and that’s it – he admitted, referring to Kurek’s decision.
Until the natural successor, at least looking at the functioning of the group led by Serb, was Aleksander Śliwka. However, the cited conversation shows that someone else can be the captain of the national team.
– (…) I don’t know if I need such a burden for him. I need it to play the best he can. I don’t need any of them to lose so much energy. This is a difficult matter, because it is much easier for someone to think about something than he would stop thinking about something. I will not announce the one who will be the captain, now. We still have a really time for this. We will talk about it and then we will make a decision – added the national team trainer in the context of the host who is currently playing in the Japanese league.
Who can become the new team captain? This will probably be explained in the coming weeks or months. Certainly for supporters of Polish volleyball, but it will be a large size change.
