Polen-Uslupehlivan
A 27-year-old opposite Polen Uslupehlivan is ready to show what she’s made off in EuroVolley 2017. So are her teammates, who are not afraid of any rivals in the tournament, as she said for WorldofVolley.
Polen didn’t want to highlight any of the rivals of Turkey in Pool C (Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine) as particularly dangerous…
„All our opponents are very strong and I respect all of them. There are no weak teams and it will be a hard competition,“ Polen, who won the Turkish Championship with Fenerbahçe İstanbul last season, stated.
Which are the elements in the play of Turkey that you consider the best?
„We are fighters. We are trying to do our best until the last ball falls down. That is our skill!“
How far can Turkey go in the European Championship?
„We are really ready and we will try to do our best to go to the final. We want to become champions and I think that we can do that. I believe in my team.“
What does it feel like to see one of the best coaches in the world like Giovanni Guidetti on your side after you’ve been rivals in the Turkish League for so many years?
„I played with him when I was in VakıfBank so, I know him well. He is a good coach and I am happy to work with him.“
Fenerbahçe reclaimed the national title after one year and you extended the contract with the club. What are Fenerbahçe’s expectations both nationally and internationally in the 2017/18?
„This year will be the fourth for me in Fenerbahçe. All I can say about the next year is that we want to play finals in every tournament. I believe that we will have that power and I am happy to be the part of Fenerbahçe!“ Polen concluded.
