The year 2017 was difficult for me, I gained a great and important experience, but I’m glad that this year ends,” says Kosheleva at the beginning of the interview.

What was the main reason for staying in Turkey?

I stayed in Turkey because I think that here is the strongest championship in the world.”

Do you think that Galatasaray is able to join the race for the title with Vakifbank, Fenerbahce and Eczacibasi?

What are the main differences between Turkish and Russian league?

The main difference between the Turkish and Russian leagues in the number of flights. Russia is a very big country and if the most distant trip in Turkey is Canakkale by bus and lasts for 6 hours, then in Russia you will fly to Sakhalin Island for 9 hours.”
