He emphasized that he decided it only on sporting reasons and there is no question of any conflict in the team.

“Bartman is not in form, did not play well and I have not seen any improvement ,” says Anastasi.

“This is the right and the only explanation, not some theories and speculations about the conflicts in the team. Zbigniew is a smart guy, we get along well. I admit that it was difficult to tell him the news that he won’t go to the European Championship,” emphasized the Italian coach.

“At some point, however, I told him frankly: Zibi, I cannot help you in any way. I tried to do it the whole season, but I am no longer able to. So I looked for alternatives and decided to try a new player,” Anastasi explains his decision to call up Grzegorz Bociek for the EuroVolley.

“I could not do as it was done in Rzeszow, where for some time Bartman was coming in from the bench and then played well in the last stage of the season. I do not have time for similar experiment,” says Italian coach.
