His entry helped Poles in success. “We withstood difficult moments”

Reserve, but appearing on the pitch at important moments of the meeting. Nikola Grbić, although his team triumphed in a clash with Brazilians in three sets, he had something to think about. For this reason, the Serbian trainer of Poles used the services of Kamil Semeniuk, who did not find a place in the initial composition.

League of nations: Kamil Semeniuk after winning Poles over the Brazilians

The basic duo of the hosts in both the quarter -finals with Japan (3: 0) and the first semi -final with Brazil (3: 0), was Wilfredo Leon and Tomasz Fornal. In the first set, however, the first one had a lot of problems with effectiveness in the offensive. Marcin Komenda tried to launch one of the leaders, but certainly Leon was much more useful, e.g. in the service field, or even quite well. That is why Grbić began to look for new solutions in relation to the basic configuration in the composition.

Bartosz Bednorz appeared on the pitch, and soon Kamil Semeniuk. Fornal injury also occurred at the beginning of the second set. The volleyball player played the match to the beginning of the third party, when he asked for a change and … Leon appeared on the pitch. Semeniuk was already in the game, changing earlier, and how, Leon. Therefore, it was a small reversal of the host system, but the Poles chosen and closed the match in three parts.

– At first it was a bit nervous. But I think that these nerves were more on the Brazilian side, because the first attacker, who played a really good meeting in the quarter -finals, did not develop wings too much and was quickly removed from the field. It certainly helped us somewhere. The Brazilians generally did not develop in this match, which is the reason for our good game. We withstood difficult moments in the meeting, and there were several. We did not give them a series at the service, realizing that Brazil is strong in this element. And he can decide meetings through the website. In the match with us, the play did not help them. We are very happy, we win another meeting without losing a set in China. But probably, as we leave the cloakroom, each of us will be focused on the Sunday finale – he said after the Brazilians who was winning the Polish national team.

In addition, Semeniuk played … for six. That’s what he scored points, showing up with 100 % effectiveness in the attack. In addition, the host was checked five times in the party, ending the meeting with 40 percent. positive.

Who knows if in the face of the Fornal injury, it is Semeniuk who will not start the Sunday final in a duet with the basic Wilfredo Leon. Although the fight for a goverbing on the feet will certainly last. The question, however, whether the training staff and the player himself want to take risks – in the perspective of, among others September World Championships.
