Polish national team undefeated at the World Cup. Another victory with an asterisk
Second match and second victory. The volleyball players of the Polish national team won with Kenia 3: 1. The style of the Stefano Lavarini team, however, leaves much to be desired.
For the inauguration of the Polish women won with Vietnamki 3: 1. The comments, however, were quite harsh in relation to how the third team of the League of Nations 2025 performed. Poland certainly has greater ambitions than nervous fragments, moreover, whole sets in competition with much lower rivals.
World Cup 2025: Polish national team in the match against Kenya. Disturbing set
Was the Polish volleyball players more convincing in the second group match, with the Benii team below the Vietnam team? It is difficult to clearly indicate which meetings were better for Polish women. Both ended with the aforementioned, lost set. Just like with Vietnam, the Polish team lost – very clearly – 15:25 the second installment.
Ultimately, however, two group wins after 3: 1 should give a relatively comfortable situation in the group table. A set of points is a lot, but we are talking about a planned decision. It is worse that in the game of Polish women you can see a lot of nervousness. With Kenia, a very poor match was recorded, among others Magdalena Stysiak.
The attacker, who has been the leader of the team many times, and from the beginning of the 2025 World Cup does not look like a leading figure. Malwina Smarzek gave a good change, giving effectiveness to the team, so needed in a situation where on the other side of the Kenyan net they simply played their own. Which was enough for one set that day.
In the end, playing twice … disturbing 3: 1 in the group, but it will be completely irrelevant in the context of the further part of the World Cup tournament. For this reason, you can feel concern, but there are rather no reason to panic, since Polish women – even playing on average, can win.
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.
