Former coach of the Lokomotiv women’s volleyball club Radoslav Arsov compared the level of the Russian championship with European leagues, noting that the outflow of players has somewhat weakened the super league.
Russian clubs have been suspended from participating in European competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
— The Russian championship is very, very difficult, difficult and long. You have to fight all the time, you can’t relax even for one game. Honestly, I was very surprised, and I still don’t understand why many girls are now being deceived into going to play somewhere in Europe. And they don’t understand that there are simply no better conditions than in Russia. Only if you don’t get into the top five or six teams in Turkey or Italy. And in Russia there is everything. We counted that 40 Russian volleyball players play abroad. There is no such thing in men’s volleyball; as long as no one leaves, everyone stays here. And that’s why the level of the women’s super league has dropped a little,” the Championship quotes Arsov as saying.
