“Yes, it will. I have won the Champions League for women as one of a team of coaches. Now we will take part in the CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup. I think that the Committee made the correct decision to take part in this event. English clubs are not yet strong enough to compete in the Champions League, but at this level I think there is a chance of some positive results. With this in mind, I have a plan to introduce two or three new ideas that we won’t be using in the domestic league. Currently we are working on the basics of ball control. I don’t want to confuse the players with too many new ideas, but in time they will form part of our training plans. Recently in six on six scrimmage situations, the players have started to look good. Soon we will start to develop systems that once in place will be hard for anyone else in our league to compete with.
What are the aims of the team for the coming season?
“It is hard for me to say at the moment. It is obvious that everyone wants to win everything possible, to win everything in England and to accomplish something in Europe that nobody has ever achieved in this country. It’s not going to be easy. A large portion of the team has been changed. I have arrived with my ideas and methods and started to introduce different defensive and attacking systems. We certainly need some time to get it all running smoothly. I am very impressed with the skill set of the players and the effort that they put into each training. Next month I will have the chance to start to look at the Super 8 league and to check out their competitive levels. At the moment, things are progressing very well and I am very optimistic,” says Graban.
