Mikhailov admitted he was surprised by the American volleyball player’s move to the Russian championship

The leader of the Kazan “Zenith” and the Russian national volleyball team, Olympic champion Maxim Mikhailov admitted he was surprised by the decision of the leader of the American team Matthew Anderson return to the Russian championship.

Previously, the American was a teammate of Mikhailov for seven years, and now he plays for Zenit St. Petersburg.

– I was surprised by the transfer of Matthew Anderson, I probably won’t hide it. But not because he moved to the “Zenith” in St. Petersburg and did not return to Kazan. After all, Matthew left here to spend less time on flights – he was fed up. The Russian championship is a lot of movement, plus it’s quite athletic, it requires a lot of strength. Now he has kids, a wife, and he’s going back to Russia. In Kazan, all the partners, as well as the management, have good memories. Because he is a legendary person: as a player and as a person, – Mikhailov told the “Championship”.
