Comments from Coach Kento Hayashi
I am happy that we were able to play in the wonderful arena in Police. Many Polish volleyball fans gathered, and it was a day where we could feel the passion of volleyball, which is called the national sport.
In the match, Groberna's serves and spikes were amazing from the beginning, and that was the key to its success.
Also, libero Spirito was amazing, demonstrating high performance throughout the match.
Although we lost the third and fourth sets, it was good to see that our players who don't usually get on the court were able to play at a better level.
