RUS M: Alekno – “If I was in a place of the players and coaches of Russia, I would not build illusions”

Vladimir Alekno

“It was a pleasure to watch Russia. I would not make huge conclusions and I would not build some illusions if I was in a place of the players and coaches of the national team. Poland was not at their level. A good test will be the World Championship next year. After that, they can start preparing for the Olympics. Belgium and Slovenia are not the rivals for Russia, our guys were stronger mentally. They were very emotional, which is good,” says Vladimir Alekno.
