The national team surprised Polish volleyball fans. It’s not about Grbić’s team
The best teams in the world are preparing for the Olympic Games. As it turns out, Poland is a good place to prepare even for foreign teams. Fans in Elbląg could be surprised.
The Polish national team is preparing hard for the Olympic Games. The scale of preparations of Nikola Grbić’s team can be evidenced by their form during the last Hubert Jerzy Wagner Memorial. The Poles won the competition, defeating Egypt, Germany and Slovenia. They gave their opponents no chance, although no one hid the fact that the White and Reds are not yet in their best shape. This is yet to come with a reduction in training loads.
The Japanese national team surprised Polish fans
Other teams are in a similar situation. Everyone wants to report to Paris in the best shape. This coming weekend, the top teams will come to Gdańsk to compete in a friendly tournament. In addition to the Poles, fans can count on the presence of Americans, Serbs and Japanese. The latter are in our country for another day.
Interestingly, the silver medalists of the 2024 Nations League chose Elbląg as their training location. The city in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship is a few dozen kilometers away from Gdańsk. So they won’t have a long journey. In addition, the Land of the Rising Sun gave its residents a big surprise. On Tuesday, those interested could watch Philippe Blain’s team training.
The Frenchman and the federation decided to open the classes, which doesn’t happen often. Additionally, the Poles had the opportunity to take pictures with world sports stars, who are followed on social media by more than Nikola Grbić’s team players.
Japan will play against Poland in a friendly tournament
The Japanese national team will play Poland in Gdańsk on Saturday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m. A day later, Blain’s team will play the Serbs, and the White and Reds will play the Americans. In turn, in the Olympic tournament, the Asian team will face the USA, Argentina and Germany in the group.
