Stephane Antiga team won 10 of 11 games and still can not win an Olympic qualification. Italia that it itself provide, she had three points (3: 0 or 3: 1) defeat of Poles.
The Poles won in Japan all the previous matches and still not assured himself at least a second place that would guarantee them play in next year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. For this purpose, missed two winning sets in the last meeting with Italy.
“All the previous are no longer valid. Today, we have another World Cup final,” – wrote on Facebook shortly before the match statistics, white and red team Oskar Kaczmarczyk.
To enjoy the promotion for the games and precisely with the aim of Poles traveled to Japan and had to win two games with Italy. It seemed that after victories, among others, the Olympic champions Russians and the Americans is a task to perform. Italia under new coach Gian Lorenzo Blenginiego played like notes and left no illusions.
Even the first set showed that charges of Antiga will be very difficult. World champions but fans have become accustomed that the first batches of them do not go. In 11 meetings of the World Cup in as many as seven losing the opening.
This time it was but it is clear that Italy kicks off with the ball on the ball and very hard to stop her. Excellent match was played with an Italian passport Cuban Osmany Juantorena, who made a first set 83-percent efficiency in attack. The Poles were not able to stop him. Sami for it had very big problems with the completion of balls. Although Paul Zatorski doing in defense of what he could, but this time it was not enough.
A dramatic was the end, when the scoreboard showed 24:24 and again draw blood napsuł Poles Juantorena. The Italians won 26:24.
The second set is another exchange blows. After a quick running Italy 5: 2 was a draw 7: 7, and then after 13. The situation is often saved Matthew Bieniek, serving great that day. Highly it come to be in the state 20:18 rivals. Antiga took the challenge, which for a long time was analyzed by judges – in favor of the Poles. Instead of 20:21 was 21.20. The end of this time belonged to the white-red – first successful attack Michael Kubiak, then a block on Juantorenie and world champions won 25:22.
The tug was also in the next installment. The Italians did not give up, however, stop, and it happened very poor reception in Polish team, and Italy went one step after another winning set. At 24:16 able to attack even quarterback Fabian Drzyzga, but it also could not the point.
In the end Antiga decided to change. Kubiak was replaced by Matthew Mika, but the advantage to the Italians maintained, and the last point in this party won the Ivan Zaytsev – 25:22.
The revival did not come. Poles can become jammed, and the Italians used the chance. Even at 6:10 Antiga introduced Grzegorz Łomacz on indirect, but this advantage with such well-presented opponents was very difficult to bridge. White-red caught yet contact after a series of good licks Kubiak (10:12), but later weaker stance of Bartosz Kurek in the attack and great defense on the side of the opposition made the Italians rejoiced with 25:19 victory and promotion to the Games in Rio .
