Saturday skirmish in Kazan was even more exciting since Friday. Poles made many own mistakes, in the end they had to defend the match ball, but ultimately left the dance floor with another victory. The fourth and sixth over Russia in general in this year’s World League.

Of course, there will be those who will say that the Russians treated leniently this competition. But our team is still under construction. For this there is a clear problem in the second meetings. In four previous rounds always the second weekend fared less well off than the first.

What does not change the fact that so well the last time white-and-red fared in the World League in 2012. The group then won ten of the twelve meetings, and then won in style in Sofia in all competitions.

Now they walk in the same path. Excluding the two last week’s failure in the United States, there are rivals one method. A and lost overseas, you can try to explain. Even the fact that the Americans were on a completely different level of preparation, and the whole time they played in front of their home crowd. Our turn left on the floor after a tiring journey, which was evident especially in the second meeting.

In favor white and red must also evidenced by the fact that outside their continent volleyball players from the US are not so dangerous. On Friday, losing smoothly in Iran. On Sunday there waiting for their second appearance. And in two weeks for a rematch also they come to Krakow.

So perfect start to the World League in white-and-red largely owe Bartosz Kurek. In each of the eight games he was the most effective of our players. In total, already he has collected 173 points and definitely leads also in the classification for the most efficient player throughout the tournament.

“A Bartek only after switching to the adoption of an attack. And if in fast balls doing better and better, it has more reserves in an attack of high balls. But also well aware of the fact that it has something to work “- said in RMF FM Piotr Gruszka.

On his time he was also switched from the position of the host to the attack, which resulted in medals Polish national team. For now, all indications are that the Kurek can be the same.
