The Poles started the match with Canada well – from winning the first set to 18. For the next 2.5 sets, they seemed to leave the court. They were losing 1:2, but managed to turn the tide of the match. This win may prove invaluable as it still gives them a good chance of qualifying for the World Cup quarter-finals.
Polish volleyball players felt tired. That’s why they faltered against Canada
What caused problems for the Poles despite the good opening of the meeting? – Such a weak game came from fatigue – explained Magdalena Stysiak after the meeting. – The first set was at a good level, then more and more fatigue was already setting in. It was obvious on the pitch that we couldn’t even manage – she added.
– It was even difficult to organize his thoughts in his head and come back 100% ready for the next set. We can’t blame everything on this fatigue, but we can also defend ourselves against it. We have to deal with it. But for now we are happy that we got up and managed to win – said the Polish striker.

Everything was with us. And luck and the end of the attacks. It lifted our spirits and made us believe we could win. That’s why this fifth set started this way and went all the way – estimated Stysiak.
– It was a necessary test for each of us. Our experience helps in difficult times to breathe deeply, to believe and to fight – indicated the competitor.
