Head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin I appreciated the progress of our team in one year.
We can say that we are making progress in the context of Cuba or Brunei, but let us not be mistaken. I hope they haven’t gotten worse. It seems to me that in each match and in each rally, the players more quickly recall the requirements of attack and defense. It’s easier for me on this side, and it’s good for them. There are almost always beginners, which is nice. I’m glad they are adapting and not falling out of the game.
The Russian team will play its closest match with Belarus on June 10. Earlier it became known which of the referees will judge this meeting.
