Translation: Karolina Piotrowska, 11 April 2011
While some of the Polish team's basic players have given up participation in the World League and some new faces appeared, in the composition of our rivals we will still see the greatest stars. In the national team of Brazil Sergio found himself back, as he could not perform in the last year’s World Championships because of the injury. The canarinhos team we will see Gustavo, who returns to the national team after three years of absence. - I am surprised with the decision of Bernardo. I talked to him, but did not mention that he wants to see me in a broad composition. However, the return to the team is a great honor for me. If I will be selected to the main composition, I will do my best - admitted the experienced middle position player. Giba and Dante also will not resign from participation in the World League. Raphael, setter of Trentino team is another one who was given the appointment.
Let’s remind that the Intercontinental Round of the World League will begin on the 27th of May and last till the 1st of July. In Poland the matches will perform in Łódź, Katowice and Płock.
