Friendly matches

    Another 3:1 for Brazil against Russia (20/25, 20/25, 25/19, 17/25)


    I'm not sure where to find the Russia roster or the stats for both matches, but I'll post them here if I do.


    Brazil started with Bruno-Vissotto, Dante-Lucarelli, Éder-Maurício and Mário Jr in both games. Lipe (Fonteles), Wallace, William, Isac, Thiago Alves, Renan, Maurício (OH) and Alan also played.


    Russian line-up: Makarov-Pavlov, Ilyinikh-Sivozhelez, Volvitch-Ashchev, Verbov
    Subs: Spiridonov > Ilyinikh, Antipkin > Makarov

    Tomorrow Poland and Brazil are going to have a training on the National Stadium in Warsaw.



    Unfortunately it would be closed for supporters, just because of safety.

    Seriously, this court seems too large for a volleyball match.

    It's not gonna be a friendly, but just a short training session open for media. I don't think either team would agree to play a whole match a day before the real deal.

    Quote from Kaziyski

    they didnt play, it was just training session

    Not even that, they just tapped the ball a few times. Clearly for show purposes only.


    I'm gonna put some pics & video links in the Polish NT thread in a sec.

    Quote from Bartek

    Today Bulgaria lost 2-3 to Macedonia in friendly match. Who did play there?

    The B team + juniors + Salparov. After all, the great, all-knowing, extraterrestrial head coach Nayden Naydenov was leading the game. Perhaps he has excuses for every failure he makes.
