With me, Alicja Grabka. This was a
match played with good, sporty
intensity,
a match worthy of a top Tauron Liga match, but it's hard not to say
that you don't end it with a
feeling of dissatisfaction.
I think, as for our team, it was a bit of a match of missed opportunities.
Somewhere up to the half of that set,
we practically maintained a four-point lead
in each of the first three sets.
Then the team from Rzeszów caught up with us. It seems we lacked
a cool head and experience to close out those sets.
I think we played really good
volleyball, apart from that last
set, and I believe that we will meet this team again soon
and get our revenge. For now, the balance is 1: 1.
I think, as you said, a big, big sense of dissatisfaction.
But we're back to work. It's time again to rehabilitate ourselves,
because on Wednesday we play another match.
That's probably it.
Very interesting sets number 2 and 3.
What prevented you from winning
them in your favor? Also, were
those lost endings a reason for some frustration for you?
Well, I think it's no secret
that such endings build up the
teams that win them, and they somewhat
clip the wings of the teams that
fail to win those endings.
So it was certainly
somewhat depressing for
us.
What was missing? I think a
cool head and, it seems to
me, bad choices in the end.
This is definitely something to improve.
But I think we also showed
ourselves with this match that we
are simply
able to win against anyone this season.
Coach Maciej Biernat said during
the fourth set to maintain the
level of aggression you showed earlier.
From your 4: 1 lead in that fourth
set, that aggression started to be missing.
Darn, it seems to me, as I said earlier, those two endings
that we couldn't snatch were definitely on our minds.
And it's also hard to find that
motivation somewhere. It seems to
me that we fought then and tried to get back into the game.
It was missing today. I hope, as I say, that we will soon be able
to rehabilitate ourselves and win against Rzeszów.
To rehabilitate ourselves, we first need to win the match against
Loto Chemik Police in the Polish Cup quarter-finals.
Such a small two-match series now with Loto Chemik Police.
Is there that determination to face
DevelopRes again as soon as
possible?
Definitely yes. I think just as they were waiting for this match
to get revenge on us after the first round, we will now wait
to get revenge for today's match.
As I say, we also proved to
ourselves with this match that
we are really able to win against anyone, including Rzeszów.
We now have one more step
ahead to play Chemik
Police
somewhere in the semi-final, and now all hands on deck
to simply win this match.
