- Borshch Pawel , let's begin with matches without participation combined Russian Federation. That you think of defeat of favourites: Chinese women in female tournament and Americans - in man's on start of the Olympic tournament?
- the First that comes to mind - trainers of these teams bring to peak of a form of wards to a stage a playoffs, expecting to reach decisive matches and already there to show the force. The second are Olympic Games, it is as though banal did not sound. Concepts of "favourites" and "outsiders" here turn into the conditional. Already on tournament start we understand - the phrase "everyone can beat everyone" has application to reality, it is fair.
- Especially, even Djokovic lost yesterday. - And Djokovic lost b to br! Here to the forefront there is a psychology: on athletes serious responsibility, huge desire to win and prove that you - the strongest presses. Often it disturbs, happens, as favourites do not cope with this pressure.
- Pressure did not prevent the Russian women's national team which is the objective favourite in a match with Argentineans, to win. And to win, without putting to it special efforts as it seemed from outside. How it was seen by the expert?
- I Will agree with you, our girls had not to put any over efforts to achieve a victory. But it occurred, in my opinion, because the rival did not manage to set any tasks for Russians and was frankly weak. What good it is possible to take out from this game? Girls, despite the rival and his weak game, were concentrated, tried to allow a minimum of own mistakes and to strum those interactions which will surely be useful to them further. In games with much more serious teams. It is unambiguous plus of a match from the national team Argentina.
- the Olympic record on number of productive giving of Pankova Catherina which is widely discussed in news. It is clear that at the Olympic Games in general love all records, and still: eight eysov - Pankova Catherina or more not best equipment accepting the Argentina team?
- I Think, approximately equally. This eight giving and not receptions is connected with each other (smiles). that at Pankova Catherina giving very difficult for processing, all of us perfectly know, and together with it Argentina accepting absolutely to it were not ready.

- to Russians is necessary on August 8 much more serious rival - the national team South Korea, given only one set to Japanese whom it is difficult to carry to weak teams. It is clear, what Koreans have Kim Yeon Kong, and than still strong this Asian team? Of that to be afraid ours?- When the team has a pronounced leader, it always a two-edged sword. Many call Kym Han Kuhn the strongest volleyball player of the world today, as it the universal player equally well executing all game elements. And if Goncharova Natalia and Kosheleva Tatyana are more aimed at attack, Kim at high level both accepts, and gives, and blocks. Not to mention that points in attack it brings much. With such player in a camp of rivals combined Russian Federation it has to be clear how to be protected and how to build game in defense. On the other hand, the leader on that and the leader to possess ability in good day to win any team almost alone. Kim - such player. Anyway, it is worth waiting for troubles from it, and they will be.
Besides Kym, girls are waited by traditionally fast game which is preached by all Asian teams and which is loved not really by a Russian team. Fast game of competitors surely brings to our volleyball players certain problems.
- we Will come over to the man's to side of the Olympic volleyball tournament. Whether the result of a match Italy - France surprised you?
- Unfortunately, me managed to look at a match only to the score 9:0 in the first party. It was necessary to go to make comments on other meeting. Certainly, it was surprised and struck - I did not see such helpless French never. And when returned from a commentator position, learned the total account, it was surprised once again, frankly speaking, it was sure that the French team will impose fight in other parties. Nevertheless these children are very combative. And now they should sweat, especially in light also defeats of Americans from Canadians.
- In a word, the group A called "group of death" from the first round starts confirming with br the status?
- While only game Canada - United States of America, because Italians and French one of our kind, those teams which are obliged to leave in a playoffs. Yes, it is exact "group of death", and taking into account this result Canadians are added to applying for an exit in a quarterfinal.
- Game of the national teams Argentina and Iran in different years were put by the same person - Julio Velasco. Whether the victory of Argentinians is logical at present, and whether there was it because now Velasco is at the helm this team?
- I considered that Argentina will win and to any result 3:0 in its advantage is not surprised. Yes, Velasco on a bench - powerful argument in favor of any team. Remember how even without Facundo Conte these children beat Russians in World league. Undoubtedly, in that match our volleyball players did not show the game, but that Argentinians represented, all the same impressed. They are perfectly ready, decently look, and now when to them Conte was added, became even more terrible force.
As for Iran, I consider that they passed the peak few years ago, these children cannot surprise someone any more. Whoever was at the helm this team. Said that Kovach Slobodan did not find a common language, soon and Losano Raul will not find... I think that Iranians showed the maximum in 2014 in the World Cup.
- the Starting match combined Russian Federation with Cubans ended with a victory of our volleyball players, but without problems did not do. It seemed that at guys from Freedom Island not bad it turns out, despite of their defeat. What will tell about this meeting?
- I would bring a match in an asset both to the Russian guys, and Cuban. Ours won it, but thus received decent resistance, and in it is much bigger instructive than if the national team Russian Federation simply a skating rink walked on rivals. And to Cubans this game in an asset because they were not frightened and did not become puzzled. I want to notice that the national team played <"18"> Cuba atypical volleyball for this team. There was an impression that this new Cuban generation is already trained in a different way. Here what volleyball we got used to see performed by this team? Beat over the block more strongly, than the Indian elephant; are mistaken twice more, than make positive actions. Thus pay attention to game in protection a little. What did we see yesterday? Yesterday we saw Cubans who value a ball, are able to choose correctly a place and to process a shell. It seems to me that this generation of children will be in the public eye - very pleasant impression made.
For this reason I would not began to say br that Russians relaxed and lost game, no. Cubans were good and it is necessary to pay to them tribute. They have plus the positive trainer - does not put pressure, not supit an eyebrow, as predudyshchy mentors. It is visible that contact at them is come into, there is no "rating", and there is a professional conversation, and the atmosphere in team the excellent.
- What positive moments in game combined Russian Federation you saw br in starting game on the Olympic tournament?
- I See b that the Russian volleyball players are already ready not bad. It not crude team, despite the lack of game practice. It is necessary to gather additionally, certainly, - and is where and where. But it is already visible that everyone knows the maneuver, knows for what answers. And to a quarterfinal, I think, the national team has to approach in an optimum state. Progress is visible, and that I saw, me pleases.
- whether some dependence of game combined Russian Federation from disturbs you, whether giving will depart at players or not?
- This problem is at all top teams, not only at the national team Russian Federation.
- But it is a problem?
- Certainly. In the man's volebol without having giving you cannot count on a lot of things. You can be the genius of protection and all the rest, but if you cannot keep the rival at arm's length by means of giving and do not force it to play on high balls, far will not leave. I do not think that it is worth speaking about our problems on giving - we have people who can resolve an issue with it, and at us is them a little. I would note also variability: players alternate fleet about the power. Only the fleet is given by one Volvich, the others can alternate - depending on installation of the trainer.
- the Question finally. In general, what can tell about opportunities of our teams on this Olympic tournament?
- I would call these Olympic Games both for women, and for men the Olympic Games of one game. Situations are similar. Look: subgroup weak at both teams, the exit in a playoffs is provided also to one, and another. On a way can be both victories, and defeats - all the same leave. 2016 Summer Olympics will begin with a quarterfinal when there will be butt matches and the playoffs will begin. All preparation will be started on these matches. In fact, in these matches - all Olympic fourth anniversary. Will pass further - it is sure, will fight for the highest awards; no - both for those, and for others there will be a tragedy and accident, and the general disappointment. And in this light already today it is necessary to reflect there is nobody to play a quarterfinal and how to play. How psychologically to approach to these matches so that freight of responsibility did not press. In respect of volleyball to our both national teams all on forces, and here it is psychologically necessary to prepare and think.
