“Luck is on our side so far”: the coach of the Kuban Group of Companies on the results of the first stage

Krasnodar “Kuban” successfully completed the first stage of the Women’s Handball Superleague. Yellow-green in Moscow beat local “Ray” 39:27.

In January, the team performed well, scoring points in games with leaders, in particular, they were able to win “Star”. On January 27, the team will play in the quarterfinals of the Russian Cup with the strongest team of the season, CSKA Moscow.

Luck is on our side so far. The girls got together, psychologically we got up a little bit. Everything is going well, – said the head coach of Kuban after the game with Luch Denis Saifulin. – Fragments of young players show themselves well, especially in attack, but in defense they still have to work and work. Will it be possible to compete in the cup match? Today we tried our best, so we’ll see. We will try.

The second scorer of Kuban in the game against Luch was the left welterweight Anastasia Shavmanwho scored 8 goals in 13 attempts.

– I didn’t score much in the first half. But you need to approach this with a cool head. If you drive too hard, it will psychologically just kill me, and nothing good will happen on the court. I analyzed in the locker room what didn’t work out, and in the second half I tried to fix it. You can not call “Ray” a passing opponent. The girls fought. Well, we always gather for matches, no matter where the opponent is, from the top or bottom of the standings.

Kuban took 6th place in the first stage and will play in the second in the top seven. After the cup game with CSKA Krasnodar on February 4 will meet at a party with Rostov-Don.
