The Poles are in a comfortable situation. Even if they didn’t get an Olympic passport now, improbably, they would still get them thanks to the world rankings.
All the teams we will play against in Xian are theoretically much weaker than our team. The Red and White should not have any major problems in China. But Tomasz Fornal assures that he and his colleagues will not underestimate anyone.
– We realize that we are favorites, but we go there with full concentration. I love playing matches, so I have no problem motivating myself. The competition is super cool, super cool, I love it and I think each of the boys will approach it the same way – says the representative of the national team.
Exactly five years ago, Polish volleyball players achieved the impossible. A unique hero of the Whites and the Reds
He is the best of all time. He won 15 medals in 15 years
Argentina seems to be the most dangerous, but Fornal also has a solution.
– Marcelo Mendez will definitely describe me well, because he is my club coach (from Jastrzębski Węgiel – editor’s note). If I play, I hope I’ll show him new tricks – he finishes.
You have to play instead of sightseeing
This is not Fornal’s first trip to distant and exotic China. This does not mean, however, that he already knows this country. – I was on my first trip to the Nations League, probably in 2019, under the direction of coach Vital Heynen. Where we play, we don’t have much time to see anything. It’s more of a hala-hotel, hala-hotel, so we didn’t see anything specific.
This time, the volleyball players won’t see anything either, because the matches will take place one after the other. Two days of break for such an intense tournament is nothing. But our volleyball players did not go there on a trip. By winning the Olympic qualifiers, they want to end a hugely successful season in which they won the Nations League and the European Championship.
Volleyball players begin to fight for the Olympics. Belgium could cause trouble, our players warn
