the Correspondent of “RG” talked with a foremost expert on women’s volleyball, the commentator of TV channels of holding “Match TV” by Tatyana Gracheva. She is three-time European champion, the best binder of the world Cup-1994, winner of many team and individual titles in the national team, Yekaterinburg “Uralochka” and capital “Dynamo”.
Your personal feelings no games “live”?
Tatyana Gracheva: Frankly bored. Sorry, I could not finish this very interesting club season. A forced ending due to the pandemic in General was completely crumpled. For example, “Uralochka” even flew to Kaliningrad for the second leg of the semifinals with the local “Locomotive”. However, without head coach Nikolay Karpol. It with great difficulty managed to persuade to stay at home to save health. Although he was eager for “Uralochka” in the first match won 3:1 and had good chances of reaching the final. But the game in the “Amber” did not take place, the girls immediately flew back. Yes, and the capital of the origina in Kazan are already in full preparing for the second meeting with his clubmates.
why do you think in recent years, so has sharply handed over the results in the international arena and our clubs and national team?
Tatyana Gracheva: we Train, probably not as much as our main competitors. And – always something replaceable. After the Olympics in Rio 2016 – head coach Yury Marichev, before the start of the European championship 2017 – Vladimir Kuzyutkin Konstantin Ushakov. Then another and another. In the end they don’t have time to build. We must understand that we, the athletes, sometimes capricious. Here the impact of continuous flights, transfers, travel, long absence from home and so on. That’s why mentors with women’s teams for a number of reasons to work very hard. Us, and I’m still in the shower remained a player, you just have to plough on trainings and in matches, not paying attention to unimportant stuff in the relationship. The main thing – the result. Professional volleyball is a very difficult job, the main thing here is discipline and dedication. I remember the days when the national team was headed by Nikolai Karpol. And, I was still in Junior”apprentices”, and experienced athletes to win the Olympic Champions – all were absolutely equal. Mode – sacred, it is the same for the honored masters of sports, and beginners of prvorazredni. When you grew up, I understand why now something is wrong.
True enough, because we and physically very talented, and mostly well prepared technically…
Tatyana Gracheva: Yeah, same opinion and leading foreign experts, prominent trainers. Players in Russia are good, even unique in many ways. But in all p��the process is like something out of a fable of Krylov “Swan, Pike and Cancer”. Such Italian authority of all coaches, as Giovanni Guidetti, Marcelo Abbondanza is not just talking about the following: the people of Russia in terms of women’s volleyball is just “delicious” from the point of view of professional work. Girls we have all as on selection – high gifted students. The best experts in the world soul would like to work with Russia or with the leading super League clubs. Sincerely sorry, but not all decided it was the coaches. There are team managers, players ‘ agents, the purely personal needs of volleyball players.
vfv quickly summed up the season-2019/20. Champion – VC “Dinamo-Kazan”. Who, in your opinion the top three players of the women’s super League? In order of importance.
Tatyana Gracheva: Croatian diagonal Samantha Fabris of the Champions Kazan “Dynamo” connecting “Uralochka” Tatiana Romanova and her teammate Ksenia attacking Parubets.
