We previously informed that the Latvian volleyball team lost to the Spanish volleyball players in the last game of the European Gold League with 0-3 (22:25, 20:25, 13:25) in the last European Gold League game, but remained in the league next season.
“It was one of the hardest matches in this gold league, as Spain played really well today. They scored points in the offensive and were difficult to stop in the first two sets, but in the third set began to serve better – so Spanish victory in the third set is more convincing. Latvian national team head coach Rainer Vasilyev. “In the second set, volleyball players who went on the pitch made a change in the game, and that is the idea of changing the game. They are part of the team and have earned their time on the pitch. So I allowed them to play the third set and gain the Golden League game experience.”
“First of all, it is very important to play in the European Golden League, even if we didn’t have many players, but the players who played appeared. And I think it is very important for them to each one – to be here and to prove their skills,” the coach says about the start in this tournament. “I get a lot of questions about volleyball players, because these games are watched by other clubs, their managers. Therefore, these battles can become a future for some players that can be changed. We already have examples – Armands Rokjāns and Janis Eduards Medenis, who have signed contracts for next season. And this is one of the ways to make progress. experience. ”
“Speaking of six games, the last fight was difficult, and I can’t say we played the best in this fight. I see that the team has progressed – both individually, as a team, and that is most important for the future. I hope to see the fruit of this fight in the short term, namely qualifying games we will be better prepared. Vasilyev. “We just have to play such games, and I think it would be good for both Latvian women’s and men to play regularly in such tournaments, because that is what helps to grow both the team and the players individually, and raising the overall level.”
Now the players are waiting for a well -deserved rest.
“Now we will have a short break to recover, because the guys have worked hard these weeks,” says the coach on the next summer program. “At the beginning of July, individual training will start where the guys will work on physical preparations and a little bit with the balls. The most team will meet on the first training session on July 21st. However, I also told the guys that they definitely need to relax now because they have invested a lot and need to relax,” recharge the batteries ” motivates to work. ”
