Marcin Janusz: More pressure because we play in Poland
The upcoming championship will be the first for Marcin Janusz, who will play in the national team of Poland. Polsat Sport journalists talked to the quarterback about his mood before the first world championship in his career. - I feel great excitement. You have to deal with this as best you can, - said ZAKSA player Kędzierzyn-Koźle.
The pressure is clearly greater because the championship is held in Poland. However, I think that we have enough qualities to fight for the biggest goals, he stressed.
Starting staff
On Wednesday, August 10, representatives of the Polish Volleyball Federation said that Wilfredo León would ultimately not be included in the team for the World Championship, as it would involve “too much risk,” the statement said. The fact that the Cuban-born host of the World Cup has been eliminated means we already know what the fourteen people who will take part in the tournament might look like. The roster has yet to be announced as coach Nikola Grbic is waiting for him to make adjustments in case of injury.
