POLAND - FRANCE
0 - 3
Match was 9th January.
So, this time we haven't got a happiness.
Against his countrymen Antiga and Philippe Blain will lead us to victory 3: 2 in the world championship, defeat 2: 3 in the semi-finals of the World League and winning 3: 2 in the Memorial Wagner.
But, not this time.
In Berlin's hall where the qualifier is played on Saturday saw two interesting matches. The second match in which she played the Polish national team could be called as the final match of the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, the match was a struggle for Olympic qualification. Despite a very good game the Polish national team failed to white and red through to the final. Poles in Saturday's run out of luck. Fortunately, they smiled at the team three-colors which can be called as the best in the world.
POLAND - GERMANY
3 - 2
Fortunately meet for the bronze Berlin event Poles had already managed to settle in their favor, but lacked the nerve, and our game left much to be desired. But the Poles once again showed the character of champions!
The rate of meetings meant that the game white and red There was a huge circuit. This is what has often been the strength of our team, which is smart and patient game on kontrach this time failed. Despite nienajgorszego adoption in the first set, Grzegorz Łomacz rarely used middle, and more than half of the balls sent to Bartosz Kurek. The attacker our staff had to disprove mainly situational, hard balls. But it was not his day. Despite this, our fairly long kept score. Germany rebounded until the very end due to nuclear licks George Grozer. The first time helped him network, with further hit already very tight and gave the hosts the lead who played patiently and definitely better on kontrach. They conquered more balls and more finished, and among the Poles in these elements prevailed impotence.
Picture of the game has not changed in the second batch. David Kurek changed Konarski, but neither was able to help the right wing. However, the Poles began to win situational football, only that moment instead of going with the flow, spoiled serve. Moments in which they did it was the worst possible.
Where, however, the Polish national team are substitutes ?! Fabian Drzyzga in the end came for Łomacza, Marcin Możdżonek changed to block Mateusz Bieniek and ... white-and-red stopped rushing Germans. Grozerze two blocks, two on Denis Kaliberdzie given our breath and the equation of state of the match, and Mozdzonek once again proved that ends sets is irreplaceable.
But on the pitch he was not. Coach Antiga returned to the game with Karl Klos has so far not done any attack and, in the block barely won a point. He returned to pitch a cock, but the effectiveness was still at odds. Additionally jammed in Matthew Mika, that this team has so far been necessary to refer important victories. The same Michal Kubiak win is impossible. The effect was very bitter and fast. Germany defeated our 16 points!
Departure for the last-chance tournament moved away from the Poles more and more. And they were not able to get close to him. Already at the beginning of the fourth rivals views they gave up five points from their mistakes! Then we had to chase the result. Germany, however, played freely, enjoyed the game that they came out pretty well anyway. Our were too tense, and the specter of the most important failure for years strongly associated with their hands. Playing on neutral much better to even play, and this part of our team limping. And without licks it is impossible to win in today's retina. Fortunately, it began to confuse the Germans and the Poles once again helped to effectively block and still be able to fight for the extension of the meeting. It is this element proved crucial once again, this time in the game on edge. Matthew Mika alone grabbed George Grozer and we had to play a tie-break. Not only that the matter of promotion had to settle only in the fifth set, in this still played point for point. The Poles played a lot better than before, the game joined the cock and Mika, but the best and so was our captain Michał Kubiak. At the end of the block again helped us, but the decisive ball, poodbnie as in the World Cup final in 2014, belonged to Matthew Micah. As a result, hall in Berlin mad with joy, but not sectors occupied by German fans, and the Polish. They finished third in Berlin in May will play for Olympic qualification in Japan !!
This is end.
See you soon !
