Polish NT 2022

  • I agree but Stencel , Kąkolewska and Alagierska have weeding break. I hope they will show higher level. Kąkolewska in USA played verry good ,but after break she was bad.

    Kąkolewska's performance has been stagnant. She was doing great in 2019 I feel like after that there hasn't been any significant improvements from her.

  • MB are the biggest weakness of Polish NT. Stencel was making so many errors that I had headache.

    Exactly... Stencel was playing badly in every aspect during the turnament. Let's be perfectly honest.. I'm negatively surprised that Lavarini did not give a chance Centka. She is this kind of player who has physical conditions to be a great player.

    She had really bad season in Budowlani. I would be surprised if Lavarini would call her.

  • We talk about her potential... She had 0,65 błock per set like Stencel. She was only 1% weaker than Gryka, Jurczyk in effectivnes of the attack but she was playing with 19 year old setter. Imo she has to play with better, more expirience setter if We want to evaluate her skils.

    She is fast, height and she has really good reach spike (321cm). So, She should get a chance.

  • To be honest, I have different opinion. I was a big fan of her two seasons ago. But her development didn't go into the right direction.

    I know that playing with Łazowska is difficult, but also her moves on court looked slower than usual. She also started making many service errors. Maybe it was related to the physical preparation or something.


    Anyway, I hope she will find her best shape in Rzeszów. Maybe Antiga will help her.

    She is rather sluggish and out of sorts during majority of the time she's on court. We've seen any progress she's made slightly dwindle at the moment. But I would also like to see her tested by another setter to see how that goes for her, if that helps to bring out her potential. I don't really see any chemistry.

  • OH Martyna Czyrniańska had a minor operation and she won’t play during U21 European Championship. Hope she will be ready soon, we need her during WCH.

  • Anybody knows does Smarzek will get a call from Lavarini for WCH? Any rumours?

    Today Stefano said that team will start preparations for WCH with two nominal Opps but no personalities. Of course Stysiak will be one of them but who second?

  • Nobody knows that. Lavarini said that 2 opposites will be practising before WCH, but he didn't want to confirm any names.

    We should get the list of players next week.

  • i have doubts on smarzek

    This situation of russian war and all afffected her and imo brazil transfer was more of an escape and change of air

    Idk id she would be ready to be back

    The transfer to Brazilian league may be an escape, but also her dream, because she always wanted to play there.

    Taking into consideration her divorce and all the things related with war it is great that she will start completely different adventure.

    That's a lot for someone. I think Brazil sounds like a good decision. The Brazilian fans are very welcoming.

    They are very welcoming at first but really exigent...if you are not doing good they destroy you


    Neriman was counting the days to finish and go to their country

    Because she was counting her days that Brazilians were "destroying her".. it was an attitude problem more than anything else... I don't think Smarzek will act like that

    I think Brazilian fans are tough on everyone who is not delivering (even their own athletes). They're outspoken like that.

    If Smarzek won't be available, Stysiak can channel her Egonu spirit. Carry the team.
