In 2012 Max Mikhaylov won Russian Championship, Russian Supercup, Champions League, Olympic Games...It's not enough ?
Well, I would say the same: Kurek is a amazing player, but should not be the 1st on this renowed list.
In my opinion :
1)Maxim Mikhailov
2)Serguey Tetyukhin (award for all his carreer )
3)Murillo
@andyz: Maybe Kurek isn't yet the russian league's shining star he supposed to be, but considering the fact that this is his first time ever he plays for a foreign club and that the injuries eliminated him for several months right at the beggining of the season... well, in this case I can imagine that his self-confidence couldn't yet fully recover, but I believe he will spread out his wings soon.
"Kurek sucks in russian league" - oh come on, it is as if I would say "Puppy sucks" ( in both ways) after seeing him in World League Final and we both know it isn't true. "Kurek isn't a fighter due to his character" (cause this is what you meant?). I always thought in order to speak about someone's character you have to know him personally otherwise it would be just worthless gossiping, wouldn't it? And tell me, Kurek wasn't fighting enough in the World League or your selective amnesia simply doesn't allow you to? My advice: do not let it control you. So who hates whom & who's not being objective enough?
i think the real hero in polish team is your amazing libero, ignaczak
