In the interview for polsatsport.pl, Zygadlo stated that the young players should get a chance in the national team:
“I was not part of the national team in the last two years for various reasons. Last year, I missed the most important event in the four-year cycle – The Olympic Games – and I admit I was pretty disappointed. The next Olympics will come in four years and it will be hard to play in Tokyo due to my age. I think it is best to try some new players. To give a chance to the youngsters who are ‘leading’ their clubs in PlusLiga. To be a setter in the national team, you need continuity and confidence. Time is a valuable thing for me, still if De Giorgi wants me in the team I will certainly discuss this topic with him. At the moment I do not want to declare anything,” said Zygadlo.
