ME in handball. Poland Sweden. The match of the Poles’ last chance
Poland’s chances of a promotion to the semi-finals of the European Championship are slower. In the first phase of the main phase of the tournament, Patryk Rombl’s team lost 31-42 to Norway and was the only one in the group without points. It is true that the Poles lose only two points to the second place, there are still three games to be played, with Sweden, Russia and Spain, but the game of the “White and Reds” is getting worse and it is difficult to improve.
The high loss with Norway, which led from the beginning to the end of the matches, fully controls the course of events on the court, revealed the shortcomings of ours, to which we are leading Dawid Dawydzik and Jan Czuwara have returned.
– Our team presented themselves in this match, we were counting on a point more. I was hoping maybe not for victory, but we agreed to start an equal walk. The game was played only and exclusively by the Norwegians, and our team was helpless. It’s a pity, because we broke a bit to fit well after the first two matches with Austria and Belarus – the 2007 world runner-up tells us.
– Certainly Germany and Norway we lost the test against the courts with higher shelves, but despite everything I did not expect that we would lose so high with Norway and we will have nothing to say. We have played with a strong opponent more than once and we were able to show our good side. Game ten did not work out at all. Of course, we have problems, the national team is not playing in full stock and replenishment is not yet your best chance at 549 goals for Polish wrestling.
Today at 18 in Bratislava, the second game of the Poles in the main game. Rival Sweden, which is even stronger rival than Norway.
– I’m still an optimist, what’s cool about sport is that if you lose one day, you can redeem yourself the next day. You have to repeat the failure very quickly and throw it away, I know that it is not a mountain, because I have been in the current situation more than once. There is a new day, a new game and of course you can play much better, I hope so. The Swedes are a good team, very strong, probably even than the Norwegians, so it will be difficult for our player to be inefficient. The defense of the roads is very strong, and there are also excellent ones, therefore. They play fast driving, just like the Norwegians, and now we are still on a very difficult undertaking – said Grzegorz Tkaczyk in 159 matches in the Polish club.
– However, we reckoned with the fact that if we come out with the next champion of European champions, the so-called starting matches, and that it will only be uphill. In the match against the matches in the second round, we are not favorites, but still I would just like to return to the game “White and a slightly different representation than in the match”
