He returned to the field in the Italian Cup match against Smartsystem Fano and last Sunday, in the victorious match against Avimecc Modica resolved at the end of an exciting tie-break in which he was the protagonist, he demonstrated that he had recovered. Furthermore, he was the most prolific player of ErmGroup San Giustino with 21 points. We are talking about Stanislaw Zbigniew Wawrzynczyk, who turned 34 on January 4th, the Polish spiker immediately signed by the blue and white club at the end of last season, who is also proving to be the man of balance in the team, the one who often materializes the most delicate exchanges and who – when necessary – brings coldness and experience to look for the exposed parts of the opponent’s pitch. Having settled in well immediately with his family in the new reality (he comes from Macerata, where he played his first championship in Italy, making his debut at the San Giustino sports hall on 9 October 2022), Stan bonded very well with the team and with the environment more generally, thanks primarily to a determined and sociable character at the same time. Always invaluable to the ErmGroup cause, he was the first to compliment Salvatore Cozzolino when he replaced him in place 4 in the match against Rinascita Lagonegro and with his Italian in “progress” he told him “well done” for how he had behaved . Wawrzynczyk has the task of analyzing the week preceding the trip to the den of league leaders Banca Macerata. In matches like last Sunday’s, with a comeback from 11-14 and the final overtaking in the fifth set, a miracle is unlikely to succeed. What happened? “Meanwhile, we didn’t start in the best way – he says – because in the first set they were more aggressive in serving and put us in difficulty in receiving and changing the ball. Then in the second and third we came out strong, imposing our game, while in the fourth Modica expressed itself better and deserved the draw. I always believed I could make it in the tie-break, even when we were behind.” And in the meantime he looks at Jacopo Biffi, the setter with whom he has reached an excellent understanding. On a physical level, was your recovery complete after the period at the beginning of the year? “Every day that passes I feel better, but I didn’t remember such a strong fever. I lost five kilos of weight and I’m slowly putting it back on to get back into shape.”
