— We were able to win the match with Lokomotiv, although it was difficult. I am very happy about it. Did the Lokomotiv players play rudely against me? No, everything’s fine. I always get pushed, it’s part of the game.

To be honest, we had a bad start in the championship. But in the match with Lokomotiv it was our turn to win. I hope we can score the missing points. With the new coach everything remains the same. The atmosphere in the team is wonderful! We won two victories in a row and played a draw with CSKA. This is very good for us,” Vera told the Championship.

At the end of August, the Spaniard David Deogracia was appointed head coach of Orenburg, replacing the Czech Jiri Jarosik, who left the post for family reasons.
