“After the victory at the European Championship, I received not only positive but also negative messages. The fans always write. People rate me following my performances at the previous tournaments. They don’t know the essence of my state so they write everything. All rivals were difficult at this European Championship. We thought it would be more difficult with Belgium and Slovenia. We won thanks to team spirit and character. We went to the European Championships only with one mission – to win it,”- says Kliuka.
Recall that Russia beat Germany in the final.
