Overview
The Portuguese played the European League for the first time in 2017 and are currently debuting in a major tournament, whereas the hosts regularly play for the highest goals. The clash of an aspiring team with a “volley nation” should be a good opportunity for the young players to show up in the international scene. This game should also be a good match-up for the Poles before playing more experienced opponents than Portugal. Coach Nawrocki consistently improves his system with the team he had to rebuild. To players like Katarzyna Zaroślińska-Król and Zuzanna Efimienko-Młotkowska, Nawrocki added the most talented youth. These ladies will definitely want to prove their potential playing against a first-timer.

Martyna Łukasik, #6"Another, what may seem easy, win, but we are only getting started. Our coach uses the opportunity to experiment at this stage of the tournament. A year ago it seemed impossible that together with Magda Stysiak we will play both as opposites in this national team, but our coach believes in us - young players, looks for the future solutions and it's very motivational. Today was this kind of game that we could try different things”
