The central blocking team of the Tula region Ekaterina Lyubushkina summed up the match of the 2nd round of the women’s volleyball tournament of the Spartakiad against the Saratov region.

The meeting took place in Tula and ended with the defeat of the hosts with a score of 1:3. For them, this is the second defeat in the tournament. Lyubushkina said that at a tournament of this level, mistakes that her team allows itself should not be made.

– After yesterday’s loss, we really wanted to rehabilitate ourselves, and the first game, in general, showed this. Now I can not answer why the second batch was such a failure. Immediately gave the advantage to the opponent, which was very difficult to win back. It seems to me that there are a lot of shutdowns in our game. We somehow lose concentration and at some moments we make childish mistakes that are unacceptable at this level. I want to say a huge thank you to our fans. What they do is hard to describe in words. Tomorrow we will do everything to answer them the same, – quotes the words of Lyubushkina official website of the Spartakiad.

“I would like to congratulate our fans on this victory. We feel their support and we know that they are closely watching our games. With regards to the game, I think that we still lack confidence. But I think that this is normal, since this is the very beginning of the season. We have four new players in the roster, it is clear that it takes time to establish these ties. But now the girls show very selfless volleyball, with great desire. And for me, as a coach, this is the most important thing, – said the head coach of the team of the Saratov region Yuri Marichev.

On August 19, in the third round, the Tula region will play against the Sverdlovsk region, and the team from Saratov will face the representatives of Tatarstan.
