This was the most important moment of the match, the goal with which Poland lost a point.
Could Poland have avoided this situation?
Could the coach have done something so that the final result did not depend on one shot?
We followed the match with HE:App and we think the key detail is the combination of pivot and back players:
The combination of pivot Dawidzik and back players Sicko – Olejniczak – Daszek was very successful 5/6.
Although good conclusions cannot be drawn from such a small sample, it is interesting that they were also good in the first half 1/1
Poland lost 28:27 to Spain and when we look at the next video, we can say they were unlucky.
However, if we look at the whole match, we come to the conclusion that Poland repeated almost the same mistakes as in the match with Russia.
It’s in the center of the story again, now we can say, the underrated pivot Dawidzik.
In this match, Dawidzik in combination with back players Przytula – Jedraszczyk – Daszek was the winning combination with the effect of 9/12
It is interesting that in this match, the team was most efficient when he was in the match, which means that the efficiency was exceptional when the coach combined him also with other back players.
Why is this so important?
Because in the first match Dawidzik played 18, and in the second only 17 attacks.
Because the winning combination of back players and Dawidzik played only 6 attacks in the first match and the second 12 attacks.
If the coach had known this information during the match, we believe that he would have divided the roles differently from the 50 or so attacks he has at his disposal.
In a championship where everything is so unpredictable due to big changes in the lineup of teams due to Covid absences, such data during matches can be crucial.
