Friendly matches with the Belarusian national team have been useful for Russian volleyball players, the team should be ready for admission to international tournaments at any time, Angelina Lazarenko, blocking the Russian team, told .
On Thursday, the Russian volleyball team beat Belarus 3-0 in a friendly match played in retro style and under 1980s rules. On Wednesday, the Russians also beat the Belarusians 3-0.
What’s it like to play by the rules of the 1980s?
– For me, like the first rhythm, it was unusual to stay on the back line on the court. I just stood on the back line in defense, I didn’t accept. Otherwise, everything was done, as in modern rules. Didn’t have to change much. The only thing is that serving from the first zone is unusual for me.
– What was the importance of these two fights with the Belarusian team?
– Very useful, anyway, these are international games. It’s good that we got together and trained for a whole month, there is still more to do. Nothing without it. At any time we can be admitted to international tournaments, we must always be ready,” Lazarenko told .
In June, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) extended the suspension of teams and athletes from Russia and Belarus from international departures due to the situation in Ukraine.
