In the last two seasons for the Poles, Americans were the most uncomfortable rival. Only with a team of US white-and-red lost on their way to the world championship last year. This season – before the meeting in the World Cup – both teams have measured five times and four times victorious from the skirmishes were leaving the Americans.
Until Monday’s match, both teams had in a Japanese tournament unbeaten status. In the table, but they share one point – in favor of the US team, which in eight previous meetings had lost only two sets. Poles but lost a point in the match with the Iranians, which defeated after a tie-break.
Monday’s clashes with the Poles, the Americans came out very confident. The first batch of almost all of them came out. Quickly took the lead 8: 5 and even simple errors, such as timeout for service, not moved out of balance. Stephane Antiga did change – on the dance floor appeared Marcin Możdżonek and Matthew Mika – but did not give it effect. Rivals won 25:17.
The second set began with the sensational Michael Kubiak attitude in the service and the situation turned around. The Poles won 5: 2, when the US coach John Speraw decided to take the first time. Later, white and red five clear. At 10: 6 the first time they were able to stop block Matthew Anderson – it was a sign that everything is heading in the right direction. Our volleyball players more confident presented themselves in attack and block, and Aaron Russell increasingly wrong in the party. Finally, world champions – who indeed won the title exactly one year ago! – Won the second batch to 19.
Very bad it started but for the white and red the third game. Already losing 0: 4 and then 4: 8, when he finally “surprised” gambit. She turned out to be the key to gaining further points. Later, thanks to a very good block Poles began to make up losses. They led to a tie for 13:13 and continue their march. Opponents of the biggest problems with reception after the service hit had again Kubiak. In the middle of the sensational he fared Bieniek, and Mika ended even the most difficult ball.
Set however, was nervous until the very end. 22:22 At state anything could still happen, but kept a cool head first Piotr Nowakowski, then tap, and the last point, at 25:23, Poles won the autowym site Anderson.
The fourth party was in turn a show of force Poles! They came out to them all – serve, attack the party. They irritated the Americans, but they could not find a solution. Ultimately, our volleyball players defeated them in the set to 15! And the whole match ended victory 3: 1!
