Poland's Silivka: "Germany is a very strong team" - Interview after the Wagner Cup 2024 match against Germany

July 14, 2024

Result: Poland-Germany 3-2 (20-25, 22-25, 25-19, 25-21, 15-12)
Silivka played as a starter and scored 11 points.

Toshiki: It was a great come-from-behind victory.

Silivka: Thank you. Germany played great volleyball, especially until the middle of the third set. Their serves were very good today, and we struggled with it because it was difficult to return effective spikes. But the comeback in the third set was big. It completely changed the flow of the match, and it was also important for our fans. More than 10,000 Polish fans packed into the arena today and helped us. I'm sure they believed that we could come back. I'm really grateful to the fans.

Toshiki: Today was your first full game in three weeks. How are you feeling?

Sirifka: I feel good. I love playing volleyball. It's good that I was able to go through five sets. Of course, I'm very happy that I won the match. But no matter what the situation is, even off the court, I will do my best to help my team win.

Toshiki: Japan will be playing the opening match against Germany at the Paris Olympics. Do you have any advice for us? (laughs)

Sirikhka: I think they probably know what they have to do, but of course Germany is a very strong team. They have high blockers, they have a strong serve and they are an experienced team, especially the setter Kampa and the opposite Grozelle. They are a very tough team and yesterday and today they showed how good they are and how they can play at a high level. So be careful! (laughs)
