Warta Zawiercie strengthened by Fornal, Kochanowski and Rychlicki — Interia Sport

Polish volleyball club Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie, coached by Michał Winiarski, has added Tomasz Fornal, Jakub Kochanowski and Kamil Rychlicki. The newcomers have increased competition for places in the starting six of the reigning Polish champions, Interia Sport reports.

Competition for a place in the lineup

Bartłomiej Bołądź, who plays for Warta, commented on the squad reinforcements in Łukasz Kadziewicz's “W cieniu sportu” podcast. According to him, the club brought in the strongest players, while the large number of matches during the season will make it possible to actively use rotation.

Bołądź noted that he is not worried about his place in the lineup. He believes that Winiarski will be able to distribute playing time among the volleyball players, while rest during demanding parts of the season will be needed by him, Rychlicki, Bartosz Kwolek and Fornal. The athlete also said that the first six sometimes previously lost to the second six in training, so the players constantly felt the competition.
