Plock,
Poland, June 25, 2011 – After the third match between these two
teams Poland has a record of 3-0 against Puerto Rico in this year's
edition of the FIVB Volleyball World League. On Saturday at 5pm the teams will face
each other again in another thrilling fight.
Friday's
game was a tight one. Puerto Rico was close to gaining its first point in World League. Both teams fought for every ball, so the
players and the fans expect nothing else from the second match in
Plock.
"We
realize that tomorrow's game will be at a similar, high level,”
Poland captain Michal Bakiewicz said on Friday after the victory.
This
year's World League debutantes, Puerto Rico gave Poland a lot of
trouble on Friday and if it wasn't for Polish serves, the hosts
wouldn't have been so happy.
Puerto
Rico captain, Hector Soto said: "Poland's
service was very good, it was a big trouble for us. We did a good
job with defense and block, but it wasn't enough. That's why they
won."
The
biggest, most commonly asked question before Saturday's match is
whether Poland and this year's tournament's most experienced player, Piotr Gruszka will play.
Poland's head coach Andrea Anastasi gave the journalists only a
mysterious “Maybe”. The fans are eager to see their star again on
the court, but nobody knows – except for the coach – what will
happen.
However,
one thing is certain – this match will once again bring thousands
of Polish fans to Orlen Arena in Plock and it will be watched by a
full house.
