With such achievements representation of Belarus advanced to the knockout stage Eurovolley 2015 in which its path stood the Polish national team. White-Red won so far one duel, but they were faworytkami clashes with our Eastern neighbors. The stake of the match was to qualify for the last eight championships and the opportunity to play against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals ME. The team of Jacek Nawrocki promised to fight for every ball and triumph over rivals dysponowanymi well.
rivals started the match well, two long and two lieves shares of Belarusian prey. Our volleyball team did not remain debt, the attacks finished off Skowrońska-Dolata Katarzyna and Anna Werblińska, the game soon be leveled. After the block on Skowrońska-Dolacie our eastern neighbor gained an advantage of two points (4: 2), volleyball Jacek Nawrocki had to chase the score and rivals. In the end Agnieszka Bednarek-Kasza-blocked Tatiana Markiewicz, the scoreboard in the impressive hall of Ahoy Rotterdam flashed a draw 6: 6. At the first technical break from running descended representation in Belarus, after the attack of Hope Malasai rivals won a long and fierce exchange (8: 7). There was no shortage of such shares, the battle for quarterfinal ME did not allow any party to let go, emotions buzowały on the court and in the stands, where he dominated our fans. Natalia Kurnikowska unfortunately gave an attack on the left side of the car, back to Belarus had two “eyes” stocks (9: 7). And again quickly leveled White-Red, Werblińska blocked the attack Kawalczuk (9: 9). Excellent service Bednarek-Kasza gave our team the first lead of the game (11:10), and after a while ploy Joanna Wołosz even increased them (13:11). Polkas played aggressively, resolutely and constantly were very focused. We managed to force their opponents to make mistakes in the adoption of the play and subsequent occasions convert into points, as the attack Kurnikowskiej (15:12). The break had to ask coach Peter Chilko because his volleyball team lost contact with our team. The transition upon my return on the pitch gave his team Markiewicz, but Kurnikowska did not disappoint on the left flank and nodded nicely in the middle (16:13). Polish team took fully control of the match, a great game in defense, attacking winnings and growing lead. Pleasantly I looked at the team of Jack Nawrocki. Four points scored in a row, great attacks Skowrońska-Dolata and Bednarek-Kasza, it was the best version of our staff in the ME (20:14). At the end of another attack over Skowrońska-Dolata and reserve Isabella Kowalińska he shows off the block and set was settled (22:15). The ball sets provided us with Sylvia Pycie point block and closed the fight a great batter Werblińska (25:17).
Belarussians had big problems in stabilizing their game and our team from the beginning of the second set went after her. Good attack Werblińskiej, two blocks performed Pycie and ran 4: 1. Our aspirations dampened a little two unsuccessful actions Weblińskiej the right wing, but then on the left block opponents with the skill of T-Mobile Skowrońska-Dolata (5: 4). White-Red somewhat less zagrywały early in the second set, spoiled some balls behind the ninth station, hence the result still was close to a draw (6: 5, 7: 6). At the end of two attacks ended Skowrońska-Dolata and was the first technical break (8: 7). Great on the serve was conceived by myself Kurnikowska when the teams returned to the game, Werblińska added in counter attack and block point and it was 10: 7 for Polish. Our team had a great rhythm when, asked the powerful blows and played like a nut. It did not show nerves, you could not see the uncertainty and lack of concentration. It Belarusians had to shiver, because their game quickly condemned them to defeat. Another block in the implementation Pycie and superiority of our team has grown to five points (13: 8). How hired struck Anna Werblińska unquestioned leader of the team on Wednesday evening. Strong attacks, exploding the block rivals, kiwki behind their hands, great job on the defensive. Host went out of her, and the results on the pitch were superb. The machine Jacek Nawrocki worked at high speed and coach could calmly speak at the second technical time-out (16: 9). White-Red went like a storm, show off a service ace by Joanna Wołosz, after a moment counterattack finished off in the middle of Sylvia Pycie, nine points ahead it was a knockout in the second batch (18: 9). When Skowrońska-Dolata nodded in a corner, just she mends her mistake Werblińska, and our players with a smile on his face fell each other’s arms, fetując good game and high lead (19:10). Remaining complete the work in the second set and take the next step towards the quarter-finals ME. And so it happened, Skowrońska-Dolata show off two great licks (23:12) and the ball sets provided the team kiwka Wołosz (24:12). After a while, our setter launched in the middle of the grid Bednarek-Kasza, and that went perfectly and Poland came to dwusetowe keeping with Belarus (25:13).
Belarussian threw all forces on the pitch defeat in the play-off match and farewell to the Championship was very close. For good attacks Bednarek-Kasza and Werblińskiej responsible Kawalczuk, her team even took the lead (3: 2). The leader of the Belarusian team have served up an ace and cars nodded Kurnikowska and Jacek Nawrocki quickly took advantage of a break on request (6: 3). Coach cheered to fight, awoke from their lethargy in the strongest terms, and if he could, he would come onto the pitch. Another autowy attack Kurnikowskiej and there was a change, a chance she got Klaudia Kaczorowska. On the technical break White-Red lost to oponentek three points, had to be sharp to get down to work and do not let Belarusians believed in the chance to return to play for the win. Meanwhile, after a pause attack broke Skowrońska-Dolata and selector Nawrocki immediately called the team together, it was obvious that escaped us a good rhythm and attack Polish team completely jammed. Unfortunately, the points resorted series, Maryna Paulawa served up an ace in the final line of the pitch, the loss increased to five points (5:10). Finally Skowrońska-Dolata kropnęła the right, but immediately broke Kaczorowska fatally attack (6:11). The shares were jammed, but once again fell prey to our rivals, as after the attack Kawalczuk (7:13). The attacking Belarusian team looked under the net on Werblińską, that responded face and the referee had to reassure women’s volleyball home. It was not yet the end of the fight, Skowrońska-Dolata hit on the right hand, and Pycie zapunktowała block (10:14). Now that White-Red were the wave, and experienced Pycie once again has set perfectly hand in the block. As soon he answered in the attack Paulawa us what juicy batter retorted Skowrońska-Dolata (12:15). Another point of Belarus gave the error own, were suddenly two (13:15). Not yet before the break, but it has the most, he started chasing rival. Good attacks Skowrońska-Dolata and Kaczorowska, to the good block and tie the other was on the doorstep (16:17). Another good attempts on the offensive Kowaliński and Bednarek-Kasza (18:19) to tie the ball was in the air Werblińska, but was blocked (18:20). Immediately improved our wing, and when Pycie not over the attack, point gave us Hanna Kapko, which unfairly hit the ball (20:21). Unfortunately for us, counterattack, he won for Belarus Kawalczuk and it got very dull (20:23). After a while “cap” of got Skowrońska-Dolata, the third set had escaped our squad at his own request. Even improved our attacker still managed to stop the attack rivals, but Anastasia Harelik ended set a good attack on the left side (25:22).
Loser set for our team acted like a red rag to a bull. The first ball of the third party, Catherine Skowrońska-Dolata show off the block. Unfortunately quickly to block of Belarusian impaled himself Werblińska, and the attack Kawalczuk in opposition gave her a modest lead team (3: 2). Consciously played in defense, however, Werblińska and Kaczorowska deceived her rivals on the grid and was 4: 3. The main thing that our team did not lose his concentration and control the game, not allowing the performances of their rivals (6: 5). The match was played Maryna Paulawa life, the most dangerous volleyball on the other side of the court, but the result still was at the crossroads. We missed a good serve, which at the beginning of the match the team made his way to impressive victories in two batches. When after the break (7: 8) Wołosz took to serve, immediately he took the opportunity to attack Pycie and its attack has given us an important point (9: 8). On the other side of the net floor until creaked at the seams, so hard fought volleyball Peter Chilko. Our team did not lose a beat, attacks Skowrońska-Dolata and Kaczorowska on the left wing were too difficult for the opponents (11:11). Yet acted block of White and Red and regained the lead in the set (12:11). Unfortunately, in a difficult situation, our attacker hit the car and was blocked Bednarek-Kasza. It got hot (12:14), so Jacek Nawrocki picked up the change and let the square game Izabela Bełcik and Susanna Efimienko. Unfortunately, the team responded, Kawalczuk counterattack ended, and after a while Kaczorowska starred in cars (12:16). Five consecutive points lost not fill us with optimism, but the chance to close the match in four sets was still real. Unfortunately, all sypało like a house of cards, Skowrońska-Dolata impaled on the block (12:17) and the loss increased to five points. This was not the end of the fight, Kaczorowska won a point in attack, and Belçika show off block (14:18). Again unnecessary confusion, our wing nodded into the net, giving valuable point Białorusinkom. Another rival won themselves using our impotence in attack, Jacek Nawrocki, so he asked for a break (15:19). Rhythm game went point for point, and it was for our team very bad news. Good attack Kowaliński, just Belçika broke lick. For this team of Peter Chilko played great in defense, the ball time and time again come back to our side of the net. Finally, in the middle he went Pycie, and Volha Pauliukouskaja not coped with the service Werblińskiej (19:21). Break for opponents of little passed, Werblińska again served up an ace (20:21). Another service, we have the ball on the tie up, but Kowalińska got a “cap” of. And after a while rivals have conquered her attack and successfully won a point (23:20). Unfortunately, the fourth edition has been lost by White-Red by silly mistakes 20:25, the win was decided in a tie-break.
Unnecessary our team this was an emotional roller coaster, extra excitement in the fifth set and the need to fight for promotion with a knife to her throat. But there was no exit, because two fine sets and two losers at his own request you have had to fight for promotion to the quarter-finals of the European Championships in the fifth installment. Jacek Nawrocki therefore returned to the original setting to the team once again climbed to such a level as at the beginning of the match. As soon as the attack hit Skowrońska-Dolata, and Bednarek-Kasza worked in the block on the grid (2: 0). Loud “Poland, Poland!” carried through the hall Ahoy Rotterdam, but hopefully we work very hard. Kurnikowska was blocked, and after a while again had no chance with the Belarusian block (3: 4). The tragedy happened a moment later, the injured children’s games left Werblińska, our leader on the floor. Belarus immediately won the point on the Polish Women’s error, and after a while Kawalczuk T-Mobile hands of our blocking (6: 3). It was going to be a dramatic struggle and great excitement to the end. Wołosz and Skowrońska-Dolata just popisały in the attack (5: 7), but Harelik not mistaken in the second line and to catch were three “eyes” losses. All the time, however, Belarussians ended their shares in the attack, and our team could not force them to make mistakes. Even Pycie broke in the middle of the grid (7: 9), but then served up horribly Kaczorowska. Skowrońska-Dolata kept our game in attack, great ploy Pycie restored hope for a successful chase (9:10). The break immediately asked Peter Chilko, and after it was blocked Harelik and counterattack finished off in cold blood Skowrońska-Dolata (11:10). The balance gradually tilted to our side, but the opponents are not prevented (11:11). Fortunately, another blow moved Skowrońska-Dolata, and Kamila Ganszczyk show off a crucial block (13:11). The need for promotion was two points, the first one secured once again Ganszczyk who registered on your account Enter the Dragon (14:11). Unfortunately Kurnikowska in the attack hit the antenna, but a dot on the “i” set from the right Skowrońska-Dolata Katarzyna (15:12).
