— We are in a good mood, we are training enthusiastically. I was happy to see all the girls, although I wasn’t quite familiar with some of them. I suppose, it will be very important to feel each other in the upcoming matches with Belarus, practice new interactions. I hope that by the end of the training session we will have more reasons to say that certain developments appeared in our arsenal, in which we can be sure. We will take the upcoming matches with full responsibility, since no game can be simple. After all, if you go to the court with inappropriate attitude, it will work against you, — Maslova said.
— I’m happy to see all the girls and coaches, it’s great that it became possible to be in the national team again. The calendar is quite busy now — there are matches in the championship of Hungary and in the Champions League. But it is very pleasant to be among my countrymen and have an opportunity to speak Russian. We all continue playing handball with pleasure despite everything, because that’s what we love and we don’t need any additional motivation. The most difficult in this training session personally for me is not to eat all the food that surrounds me. Because everything is so delicious, especially home cooked meatballs, — the HFR press service quotes Dmitrieva’s words.
