Germany and Poland enter the courts in sports hall Kolodruma for their first match at the 2021 edition of #EuroVolleyW.
Germany finished sixth in the 2019 EuroVolley and seems to be in position to challenge both Bulgaria and Poland for the top spots in the pool, especially after the return of star opposite Louisa Lippmann to the squad. They have some young players stand out, most notably 22-year-old outside hitter Hannah Ortmann (183 points) and 21-year-old middle blocker Camilla Weitzel (27 blocks), who also registered 21 aces each.
Two-time European champions Poland have, in theory, the strongest roster in the pool. However, this time around, they are without star setter Joanna Wolosz and towering middle blocker Agnieszka Kakolewska, who will both miss the tournament due to injury. The Polish will depend more than ever on the offensive production of opposite Malwina Smarzek and the consistency of outside hitter Natalia Medrzyk.

Head Coach of Poland
Camilla Weitzel"First games are always hard. You play in a new gym, and we started against such an opponent as Poland. Of course, we hoped for another result, but I think we can learn from this match."
Middle blocker of Germany
Felix Koslowski"We played a good match. We struggled a bit at the very start when getting into the game. The match was decided by one player - Magdalena Stysiak. No matter how she touched the ball, it was always a point. Let`s say that I am 85% satisfied with our performance today but Stysiak was just incredible."
