France vs Poland Epic Volleyball Battle Highlights

Oh, lovely touch, Clemino. There's no pleasing some people. Look, look, look. He's pushed it through. It's loud in here as Patry serves onto Popivcak. Great pass. Oh, Fornal already. Already just stayed on that side of the net after he hits this. But look at this hang time. He's up. Oh, big service. Grebennikov. More of a speed bump than anything. Nice recycle from Luati. Oh, and the angle. So sharp. Patience. 12-12. Legoff floats it. Oh, Leon. Oh, it's up. Thierry Henry, eat your heart out. Well, France with the chance to take the lead. Jean Patry. Superb. Here we go. Look at that Legoff. Great touch for a big man. There he was. Huber. Gives it a fit. Bit of juice off that serve. And now France call the time out. Poland. Won't be this time, but that is a brilliant serve. Grebennikov. Free ball. Leon. Janusz. Bolancz. Service pressure. 2-0 Poland, just as it was in the first. That is Cleveno again. Testing the referee. Another good serve. Grebennikov. First swing for him. Straight into the block. A three-man red wall. And Janusz is on the edge of it. Bolancz. In Shorter. Ball. Great touch. Really well done by Leon. Huber. Legoff with the block. That's received by Popiewczuk. Great swing by Bolancz. Yeah. Shalpuk and Adamczyk. And that's where you're always aiming to try and get to. Poland were there for a bit, then they let themselves slip. Bezard quite rescued that one. It was over the net, Tate. Bolancz. Oh, monster. Three giants in white. Shut that down. And Legoff, the biggest of them all. It's gone very quiet. Oh, yes. Klasa. For now. That is what they needed. Huber puts them back ahead. And that's where they were doing all the damage up to the point where they weren't, was the ball on the net. So Janusz can find the middles and there's no... Broadness Horizons have been playing in Perugia. For the last couple of seasons. Oh, they've served that ace on him straight away, though. Engepert. What an impact. Janusz. Goes in short. Received by four. To the middle. Jufroy. First time we've seen him on the short one and it's two set points for France. He's taller. Bolancz. Oh, back to back. France, silence. This Polish crowd with Zbigniew. Nine-nine. Blazard. Oh, that is quick. Very quick. A little handshake there between Loati and Zyg. It's a little bit close to Huber. Cornell receives. Huber. Is that long? No. From attacks. Good pass, Loati. Oh, up it goes. Once, twice. We're going to have three-foot touches then. First Huber, then Janusz. Drops it on to Bieniek. Out to Bernouge. Boom down. He's come in to do a job, he hasn't had... I think it's his first swing. And does. First touch, though, Loati. For now, sets. Bolancz swings. Monster block. Big, big moment. Legoff and Loati seal the gap. Goes hard. Well matched. Here we go. Here's the chance. Blazard, Loati. Catch Marek. Serve has to be good. Grebennikov. Into Blazard. On the pipe. Brilliant from Grebennikov. And France have come from one set down to 2-1 up in the semi-final. That last set. Bolancz for now, Bieniek, Janusz. Oh, Huber. On Legoff. It's a good way to get back into it. Bieniek, 2-0. Early break point. Blazard. Oh, lovely. Lovely angle by Klevino. Huber. Goes for that big one again. Picks up the ace again. Huber's found his range from the service line. For now. Heavy serve. Klevino back overhead. Four's going to try something here. And it's not going to work. Rough contest in set four. Grebennikov. Oh, that's brilliant. Into Legoff. Wonderful set from Blazard. To find that angle. Being as far off the net as he was here. Look at that. Sends it on its way into the hitting window for Legoff. Just wouldn't pick him. Huber. Into Grebennikov. Lovely pass. And the Blondowski. Mistimed by Klevino. France who seem to have lost their direction. Here's a chance to get it back. With Blazard. Over to Four. What a touch. Fournal. Off the hands. Another great dig by Berdnoz. And Fournal can try again. What a swing from Fournal. Fournal. Janusz Kaczmarek. Grebennikov. In a good place. Not as good as that though. From Luarty. That's back to back points. Just a little peck flex. Chest ups are the best ups. Nails the baseline. There is Goranowski. Top spinner into Klevino. The Prussliga's top blocker comes up. Back to this after Geoffroy's serve. Goes in short. Berdnoz blocked. Legoff. Huge. Kaczmarek. Another good pass. And the block! Blocks. What about now? Blazard as well to get something on it. But Zatorski can feed it into Janusz. And Huber is away. Nobody anywhere near him. 321. Janusz floats that onto Luarty. Out of 4. If the fans could get closer they'd all be cuddling him right now. Instead it's his teammates. They need something special. And they need something quickly. Blazard tees it up. And tail forward delivers. That was a great swing from the youngster in that game. Largely because of his contribution. And that's a good serve. Kaczmarek. That is an absolute stonker of a one-on-one. A service! Antoine Blazard paints the baseline. 17-16. Good serve. What a pass. Here's the chance. Blazard out of 4. It's on the floor! Oh my goodness me.
