“President of the Volleyball Federation of Ukraine told about the tasks of national teams”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– Do teams have any clear tasks?
– I do not think that we are now in the conditions where you can demand something. Although ambition, both in us, in the coaching staff, and players, probably, the highest. These ambitions are backed by the real potential that our teams have. The task of the minimum for the men’s team is to stay in the League of Nations. Because if we fly from there, then break through, given that the teams will now only be trapped in the world rating, it will be extremely difficult.
By the way, Kateryna Bilyachenko and I have an appointment to the League of Nations as supervisors. This is also for the first time in history. We do not set clear tasks on the world championships, but we hope that we will comfort Ukrainians with a good game and results at this difficult time for our country.
– The question of the equipment of the male team, given the events of the past years, is almost the most pressing. We saw the expanded list of candidates. But which of our leading volleyball players has already confirmed the arrival in the national team?
– All, including Oleg Plotnitsky, who, however, wants to hear answers to certain working questions. He and other volleyball players will receive them before the meeting, – said Melnyk.
