Coach Olga MIKHAYLOVA looking forward the opportunity for the players to play in front of their fans.
“It is good feeling that the forthcoming Champions League event will take place at home in Saint Quentin. In our Group we have to confront some of the best European players. On one hand it will be not easy and on the other hand it will be very interesting with intensive matches. We are motivated and are expecting to finish in one of the first two positions to continue to quarterfinals โ explained Coach.
Coach MIKHAYLOVA was pleased with the current shape of the majority of the players.
โDaniela Dodean MONTEIRO owner of a silver medal from the European Team Championships in Cluj didnโt lose any match during the competition and she also had three individual victories in French League. Sarah De NUTTE had a good performance in Cluj against her teammate Polina MIKHAILOVA and three victories in French League. As far as Polina MIKHAILOVA is concerned the beginning of the season was less successful and she is yet to top the results from previous season when she beat Sofia POLCANOVA and Bernadette SZOCS in Linz and also recorded 90% victories in French League last season.”
