Volleyball player Fetisova: “Natasha Goncharova, I’m going to miss you, pick up the phone!”

European champion volleyball player of the Moscow “Dynamo” and the Russian national team Irina Fetisova who will play in the Turkish Fenerbahce next season, in an interview with she said that she will miss her teammate and girlfriend very much Natalia Goncharova .

Earlier, Dynamo CEO Vladimir Zinichev told that Fetisova is leaving the club and will play at Fenerbahce next season. Fetisova has played for Dynamo since 2015, with whom she has won the Russian Championship five times and the Russian Cup and Super Cup twice each.

— You have been playing at Dynamo since 2015. What does this club mean to you and how do you feel about leaving Dynamo?

– At the moment, I still have a feeling of euphoria from the victory, my emotions have not yet calmed down. The feeling of sadness was right after the game, because I realized that I was leaving the team. But it was my decision, I myself wanted to continue my career in another club. I am very grateful to Dynamo for noticing me, a 20-year-old player, in 2015 and inviting me to such a prestigious club. I was immediately integrated into the team, thank you for the trust, for the attitude, for believing in me. All these years I have tried to treat the club and our business with integrity and integrity. Mutual respect is a very important aspect. I think I did well. Dynamo is my family and my home. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.

– After the final, I asked Natasha Goncharova about your departure. She said the following: “My beloved Irochka is leaving the team, I am very sorry. Besides the fact that we played in the same team for many years, we are friends with her off the pitch. I wish Ira the best! For her, it’s a new challenge. I think Ira will show herself in the Turkish league from the best side, because she is a player of the highest level. What can you say to Natacha?

– I was very lucky, because I worked with professionals, and in a professional I found a friend. Thank you Natacha for these kind words! Playing with her is a great privilege, she masters her art. I will miss Natasha, but contact will not be lost. I’m sure she’ll pick up the phone. I know Natalia will read this interview: Natasha, pick up the phone!

– And you can certainly visit each other.

– During the season it won’t be so easy with that, because we don’t have so many days off – at Dynamo, that’s for sure. As for my new team, I don’t know the exact program yet. If there is a period of free time, of course, I would like to go home. I always look forward to visiting friends. Come my friends, I will miss you.

Goncharova also told me that she has no doubts that you are one of the leaders of the Turkish championship, but that she will be waiting for you in Moscow. I asked, “Did Ira say she would return to Dynamo?” Natasha replied, “She won’t have a choice. We’ll call her and she can’t refuse us. Are you ready to come back to Dynamo in the future?

— It is very difficult to think of anything for the future, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. If one day Dynamo is interested in my services and I want to return to the Russian Championship, Dynamo will of course be the first team I want to play for. Here everything is familiar, everything is loved. All these years there have been no problems either in the training process or in everyday life. If there was a demand, the question is whether I will be needed,” Fetisova said in an interview with .
