Coach of the champions of the 1st season 2024
Today we took a short interview with the coach of the champions of the first season of the Ural Super League, Oleg Gorsky!
Good afternoon, tell us about how the first season of the Ural Super League went for you!
- I had a very good squad in my first season, there were experienced and young players! Our task was to play and show the best possible game, which we did in principle. The beginning was not very successful, we were somewhere in third or fourth place, but the girls began to get used to each other, the bunch played very well, and the experienced players here helped with their game and all this turned into a common team game.
In general, we were a little stronger and a little more successful in all positions. This has borne fruit in the first season! The girls played very well, and I say thank you very much to them.
What went wrong this season? How did you end up in last place?
- Well, a little bit, I'll say so, it turned out to be relaxed. We kind of felt our strength. And this, apparently, played a major role, that we failed to cope with our ambitions, so to speak. The opposing teams also added and it became a little more difficult for us. Well, I think everything is ahead!
And we also have a leading player, Dasha Galaktionova, who moved to another team, and this, of course, is also the reason for this result. He is the strongest player in our league.
Which of the athletes of your season 2 team can you single out?
- With the departure of Dasha Galaktionova, such strong players as Lisa Malkova and Sasha Gorshenina have appeared in our squad. We have one of the best players in the super league, Anastasia Zvorygina, around whom the whole game is played, almost all the tasks. And the result and the game itself often depend on it. But we are working now and I think that all our work will not be left aside. Everything will be fine with us.
Which team do you think is the strongest this season?
- Well, this season I would like to highlight the team where Daria went. The team is a Stone Flower. A stone flower, yes. Again, it turns out that she is the leader there and the team is leading at her expense.
How do you like the Ural Super League tournament?
- The Ural Super League of Volleyball turns out to have gathered the best players both local and from all over Russia, due to this they study and advance in volleyball, gain experience and I think they succeed. I hope that even more athletes will learn about the Ural Super League and strengthen the teams and make the games even more interesting and brighter!
