Since last season, Poland set to copy French idea for volleyball. White-red have played sensationally in the defense, because the conquered dozens of balls during the match always translate into good situations in attack. Even if the cost of fighting in the party, is not as strong as in previous seasons. But in the offensive more often wanting to nod, shake the block, and the maneuverings are sending seemingly easy Plasy – all nadsekwańska school game.

Achieving success in this way, however, costs much more energy than in any other ways you can play. Therefore, the final of the World League in 2015 promoted team that comes out on the floor less tired. Which one? It is difficult to answer.

On the one hand, the Poles played on Friday after the French, with the addition of five sets. At regeneration they had about fifteen hours – at least three less than rivals. But it Trójkolorowi will play today seventeenth match in the World League. First, because they fought in the group phase II division (12 games), then they waded also unbeaten tournament final (2 meetings last weekend), and already in Rio de Janeiro played two more matches. For white-and-red it will be the fifteenth official appearance this season.

It’s just that our measured with far more difficult rivals, in much more fierce matches. Perfectly illustrates this statistic minutes spent so far on the dance floor. In the fourteen meetings of the World League in 2015, Poles played a total of 1,819 minutes, while the French performances were enough to seventeen 1393 minutes.

So it’s easiest to write that on reaching the final disposition chooses the so-called day. In Rio de Janeiro the form of both teams so far heaving. French first defeated Brazil, yesterday miracle to snatch the set to the Americans. In turn, the Poles excellent sets interspersed with very weak. If today will be able to stay focused a bit longer, tomorrow will fight for second in the history of triumph in the World League. If not, it may be extremely difficult for them.
