- Nikola Grbic is betting on his “soldiers” and hopes that the players with whom he achieved the greatest successes will be able to regain their fitness during the Olympic Games
- According to Camille Droghe, this decision is risky because the coach has rejected many players who are in really good shape.
- In turn, Edita Kowalczyk explained how Nikola Grbic’s conversations with Polish actors were.

Let us remember the Serbian coach’s choices for the Paris Olympics:
- Midfielders: Marcin Janusz, Grzegorz Lomacz
- Attack: Bartosz Kurek, Lukasz Kaczmarek
- Midfielders: Norbert Huber, Mateusz Pinnick, Jakub Kochanowski
- Host: Tomas Fornal, Wilfredo Leon, Kamil Semenyuk, Aleksandr Slewka
- Free agent: Pawel Zatorski
- Alternative: Bartlomiej Bolds
– I am surprised that Nikola Grbic is taking three strikers to Paris. I did not think of such an option […] Kaczmarek and Śliwka do not go for their merits, but because they have proven themselves in difficult situations many times. They have never let coach Grbic down, and when they needed to score important points, they did. Kamil Dragh says that this is a rational move, but surprising and risky.

Risky decisions by Nikola Grbic. He has caused a stir in the Polish national team.
— If Nikola Grbic had listened to the fans and to us, Jakub Popovcák would have been the libero, Poladz would have come on in the 12th minute for Lukas Kaczmarek, and Bednorz would have taken his place as a substitute. However, the Serb decided otherwise, says Lukas Kadzevic.
— The coach relies on his “soldiers”. Nobody expected that he would take three strikers, because we had so much wealth in the party that everyone was convinced that someone from this formation would be the 13th player. Grbic followed the idea that he chooses reliable people. In the case of Kasmarek, the Serb hopes that he will regain his fitness and be ready for the most important matches, but if that does not work out, Grbic will be crucified – adds Drage.
“Grbiec overheated the engine.” Tensions in the Polish national team
– I mentioned Hubert Wagner because he formulated the thesis that when there is stagnation in a group and it is very quiet, it is necessary to introduce agitation. I do not think that Nikola Grbic knew this thesis and did it on purpose, but that is what he achieved with his decision, because he waited a long time with it. He overheated the engine a little, which caused a noise in the tire and hung a noose around his neck, but he made the decision in the end – continues Drag.
“It’s a pity for Bednorz. He has performed well every time this year and played at the highest level, but Grbic sacrificed him on the altar of success, which is what he wants to achieve, but if he doesn’t bring back a medal from Paris, he will be severely criticized,” says Drage.
– The wait had a negative impact on the team and some tensions appeared. Bartosz Kurek wanted to emphasize that he is proud of this group because they won the bronze medal, he lives in a state of anticipation and awaits the coach’s decision. However, this does not apply to all the players. Grbic did not speak with the entire team, but mainly with those who will not go to Paris and those who did not feel confident about this trip – Edyta Kowalczyk, a journalist from Przegląd Sportowy Onet, reveals the background of the appointments. At the same time, he adds a very good news: “All the players are healthy and we have nothing to worry about.”
Poland have five more matches before the Paris games. At the Hubert Jerzy Wagner Memorial, the White and Red will face Egypt, Germany and Slovenia, and a few days later in Gdansk in a friendly tournament against Japan and the United States. At the Olympics, Poland were in a group with Italy, Brazil and Egypt.
It is also known that Bartłomiej Bołądź and Olivia Różański, reserves for the Grbic and Lavarini teams, will live in the Olympic Village.
– Teams of 13 and five staff will live in the village, while the remaining five staff will live in a nearby hotel, but will receive all-day passes to enter the village so they can work with the whole team – says the president of the Polish Volleyball Federation, Sebastian Swiderski, in an interview with Przegląd Sportowy Onet.
