And I think Michal meant Mozdzonek. I don't think Michal meant they don't have potential, but they have their flaws so they shouldn't be overrated too soon.
I guess it would be easier to stand mediocre setter if we had at least decent spiker. Kurek has his flaws and can't deliver in most important matches. Winiarski's health is gone with the wind and we don't have a proper opposite. Having a setter who maybe is not the craziest but at least his sets are accurate and with at least one spiker who will always deliver would be some base to start with.
Thin ice my friend, thin ice! Be careful because some polish fan will come and say: "Don't you remember ECH 2009?!" So you better prepare yourself to answer for that one ?
Michal, what did you expect from Nowakowski? To become Gustavo Endres or Stephan Hübner? If so, forget about it. He probably isn’t going through one of the best moments of his career, but a good coach might help him get back on track. Regarding Kubiak, I don’t think PlusLiga is a top level league, so maybe he should try to move somewhere else.
Zyta, seriously? There are still some people that give credit to Castellani for the 2009 ECh? Do they remember which teams Poland faced on their way to the title? They remember later that year Poland played in the World Grand Champions Cup and lost to Japan, returning home without a medal? Remember failing both at 2009 and 2010 WL? What about the 2010 worlds, when Team Poland finished 13th (tied with Cameroon)? Castellani is a farce. The Finns got rid of him very quickly. Good for them.
@hanes233: Come on… There are a lot of talented players at same age of Kubiak or younger, from Lucarelli to Spiridonov, without forgetting Lanza, who used to be a sub on his club and lately proved to be a world-class player. Think about N’gapeth or Ghaemi. Michal Kubiak is one of them, he has talent, and perhaps he needs a few more opportunities. I see too many new faces arriving to main stage with talent and confidence. Take a look at Sam Deroo. If he improves his passing skills, how far he would go? Kubiak got what it takes to be one of the greatest, but we don’t know if he’ll show his talent consistently. Neither do we know if the aforementioned will keep or improve their game level. When Jochen Schöps appeared in 2006-2007 the whole vball world thought he’d become a major star. Look at him now. He’s okay, nothing else.
So far no sign of them, maybe they opened their eyes finally.
No one said Mozdzonek shouldn't be in NT at all, but certainly not as a starter.
3rd meter spikes, you silly!
But seriously I think it's just the case that happen in every country where some sport becomes more popular and certain team/player suddenly become successful. It's a bit like with UK and Andy Murray. Guy has really good level, won few tournaments, lately won Olympics, US Open and finally after 70 years of waiting this British ginger boy won Wimbledon. He's the man of the year and basically his fans want to expand unofficial TOP3 (Roger, Nadal and Djokovic) to TOP4 because Murray should be counted as as good as them. But is he? Compare his results to maybe not Roger who is much older but Nadal who is slightly same age?
So we've had Winiarski and Swiderski, but like I said their health were gone with the wind and suddenly here he comes, young hammer on the left side, hitting over the block and smashing ball into 3rd meter line. Everybody thought okay he has some time to improve his technique, but finally someone who has potential to be one of the best. You asked about Castellani, ECH 2009 is one of the secrets of Kurek's popularity, he was brilliant there until the final when he choked, but we could forgive him as this was his first major event and we've won anyway. And then whole boom around volleyball made him an idol among teenagers before they realized he doesn't improve his technique that much and during any major match we have a ghost rider on the court, not a player we expected to have 4 years after ECH09. Now I guess most of them is just blind, I mean those who won't let you say a bad word about him. We can still hope he will improve, he's still 25 and maybe Italy will help him more than Russia.
@hanes233: I think the fact you’re a big Kubiak fan is leading you to a bad judgment. I still remember you once wrote Kaziyski was “the best player that ever walked into a vball court” (rofl). Avoid exaggeration. Same way you don’t like Spirik and that makes you try to diminish his undeniable talent. The only problem I still see on Spiridonov’s game is that he sometimes drags his team down with his behaviour.
@Michal: I said “certainly is a bit too late for Mozdzonek”. That’s it. With proper orientation maybe he coulda been a better MB, but based on you guys’ remarks I believe Poland lacks good coaches, otherwise you wouldn’t be trying foreign options one after another. This is weird, considering how popular vball is among Polacos, you should have lots of good coaches. Thanks for the explanation about Kurek’s surroundings, that’s hilarious.
@Zyta: Third meter spikes forever! lol
Remember Lloy Ball’s words: “It’s in Italy that you really learn how to play with the big boys”.
