Zbigniew-Bartman
“It’s like a Brazilian soap opera that never ends. Again, we look for a new coach. It’s hard for me to say whether the option with the Pole at the helm is right. It’s right that each will bring success. But, no one is able to guarantee it now. Of course, there are coaches with whom the chances of success grow, but this isn’t math and does not need to fit. Out of the Polish coaches who have been successful in recent years, there is Andrzej Kowal. He won the silver medal in the Champions League with Resovia. He has the best recommendations. I had the pleasure of working with him and I remember this collaboration very well. We have good coaches, but the problem is the lack of confidence in them. If you choose a Pole, many people will want to make an influence on him. The foreign coach would be more independent. I would like the national team coach to get the same amount of freedom and confidence that foreign coaches usually have in our country,” one-time CEV European Championship and FIVB World League winner said for “Przegląd Sportowy” and opened a subject of his return to the Polish NT.
“I have not played for five years. So I’m not going to look from this angle, I’m not going to choose a coach. So, I’m not going to bother my brain with this. The most important for me today is an Argentinean league. Soap opera related to the coach of the Polish team somehow can’t get through to a happy ending. All the time there is some Alejandro, who spoils the love relationships of the heroes, the officials of the Polish Volleyball Federation and regularly dismisses the coach. We are the country that most often changes the coaches of the national team. So, it is not said that the new coach, who will summon me to the squad, will work for a long time. Looking at the statistics, it does not appear that way,” Bartman ironically explained the things in the national team in the past several years.
