12:25 – Wilfredo Leon, the great danger

We continue the presentation of the Polish six. On the second line we find Wilfredo Leon, an exceptional player with a devastating serve. Already 13 aces in this Olympic tournament. He also holds the world record for the most powerful serve (135km/h) achieved at EURO 2023. Alongside him we find Jakub Kochanowski, a very complete central who makes impressive crossings over the net, sometimes irregular in service. Finally Marcin Janusz, the brains of the team, who knows how to vary between power and finesse.

12:19 – Presentation of the Polish team

Let's start with the three front-row players. Bartosz Kurek at the forefront, an ultra-physical profile who serves hard, but he is not necessarily a very strong blocker. Norbert Huber, who arrived not long ago in selection, is a hyper complete central with a winger's arm, he is also a very good blocker. Tomasz Fornal, world-class player, patient, very technical, he is very good in defense and blocking.

12:12 – The six incoming tricolor

The Italian coach of the Blues, Andrea Giani, should align the following starting six: Ngapeth, Le Goff, Brizard, Patry, Chinenyenze and Clévenot. The six players were already present at the Olympic coronation in Tokyo 3 years ago

12:07 – Remake of the Nations League final

The two teams have already faced each other on June 29 in the Nations League final. An epic match of almost 3 hours where the Blues won in the tie-break (18-16).
