Iya Gavrilova: By February, we will be able to reach a good game level

01.09.2013

Forward women's national team Iya Gavrilova told about the past Four Nations Cup tournament in which our team took the second place:

- This is the first official tournament for the team this season, so it was important to remember the tactical interaction. In the first game, not everything was ok, but during the tournament we have improved our game. We are not happy of the result, because we have been going there only for the first place and everything was in our hands, but  only themselves we missed the victory in the opening game.

Soon we will play friendly matches with Canada. I'm glad that finally will be able to play on the Olympic stage. Of course, you want to test your skills with such a strong rival.

To the main start of four years we were preparing hard and gradually adding in all game components. We still have a lot of charges, so that by February we will be able to reach a good level. As for excitement, it is not felt, only simply increasing responsibility in the matches for the national team. Even now we need to show a good result at the Olympics to have a psychological advantage over rivals.
