Milosz REDZIMSKI: “It’s a big challenge to play in front of my parents and grandparents”

The Under 19 Boys team of Poland last year’s runners-up in Belgrade have the opportunity to play in front of a home crowd at the ORLEN European Youth Championships in Gliwice. The team’s leader Milosz REDZIMSKI talked about the good and challenging aspects of being under the spotlight in a big Arena at home.

“It is so nice to be at home and have supporters in the stands but at some points it is not so easy when you look around and see parents and grandparents above you…” said REDZIMSKI who won the title in Under 21 European championships in Sarajevo earlier this year.

Within less than a month Milosz is playing in a big tournament at home for the second time. Two weeks ago Poland played at the European Games.

“It makes me doubt the advantages of playing on home soil. We did not win the match in Krakow. After that I was not very happy with my performances at the preparation camp. However it would worry me if it were the opposite. Usually when I don’t play well in the preparation it proves that I have a successful tournament ” said REDZIMSKI.

Poland is in a group with Israel Belgium and Italy. In the opening round they already overcame Israel 3-1. The match lasted longer after Mateusz ZALEWSKI failed to close the duel against Eitay SHUSHAN at 2-0 and 10-6. He lost 2-3.

“Later I beat SHUSHAN 3-0 so we restored the order ” said REDZIMSKI. “In the next round we will play against Belgium and I think they are the toughest adversary in our group.”
