Titleholders Russia had to work hard to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the 2017 CEV Women’s Volleyball European Championship by playing as much as two tie-breaks but still, they achieved maximum three wins in the preliminary stage.

Russia’s coach Konstantin Ushakov is aware that fans in this country expect better performance but also emphasized that there are no easy rivals in EuroVolley 2017.

“We lost two sets, yes, but this should not surprise anyone because Bulgaria have a very good team with quality players. I think it was a good match – from both sides and it could have gone either way. We should not underestimate the importance of this result and victory since we were facing an extremely tough opponent,” Ushakov said after the Pool C game vs. Bulgaria in Baku, Azerbaijan.
