Anastasi says podium is minimum goal for Poland
Nagoya, Japan, November 17, 2011 – Andrea Anastasi has been officially at the helm of Poland’s national team since this past March and the fans from this real Volleyball “Mecca” shall be quite happy with his guidance so far. The group that is set to compete at the FIVB World Cup starting this coming Sunday in Nagoya and Kagoshima has indeed pocketed a couple of bronze medals by finishing third at the World League finals in Gdansk this past July as well as at the European Championship held a couple of months ago in Vienna. Poland is joining the World Cup upon receiving a wild card from the FIVB and Fuji TV, so Anastasi certainly want to exploits this first and unique opportunity to immediately book a ticket for the 2012 Olympics in London.
“We have prepared by playing a couple of friendly matches against the Czech Republic” says the Italian-born mentor. “I used this chance to test all of my players and of course if you change that often, the quality of your play is automatically affected. However, this is my sole responsibility and people shall understand this strategy. I especially used the second match to give some playing time to those players that had not joined the first game; we eventually lost 2:3 but it was a real fight. Such situations are an ideal opportunity to test the reaction of my players as difficult moments may come up at any moment. I did not care about the result; I was just quietly sitting on the bench and observing my guys”.
Anastasi insists the team spirit will be a deciding factor when it comes to the World Cup. “We have to play as one and this is very important especially as some players are still far from their peak. If you play like a real team, you can compensate such a deficiency. We are having some training sessions here in Japan to stay cool and prepare for the first matches, especially for our debut with Cuba”. “Our goal is to make it to the podium: I think this shall be the goal shared by all coaches that are joining the World Cup. This is certainly difficult but we have to fight for this and defend our position in the world ranking. We are currently ranked eighth and this is probably not the very best position to start from but we will fight for every ball against such a stellar field” adds Anastasi.
Bartosz Kurek, Poland’s rising star, missed the first friendly match with the Czechs and played only for one set in the second game. Is he fit enough for the World Cup? “He is fine. Our team doctor, Jan Sokal, advised me to let Bartosz play only one set. He did not want to agree for more and I accepted his proposal and advice. Bartosz will not play as intensively as he did for the World League and for the European Championship, but it is important that he is with us. The World Cup is very long, we have many matches ahead of us, so he will probably miss the first ones but he will certainly be back for the second part of the tournament”. |
