The European Volleyball Championship can be called inferior, since the national team does not participate in it Russia national team player Anton Semyshev told .
On Monday, the European Championship started in Italy, Bulgaria, Israel and North Macedonia. The Russian national team has been suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
– Are you going to follow this tournament?
– I plan to watch Bulgarian national team matches, my Dynamo teammate Tsvetan Sokolov plays there. And in general, I want to watch how other teams and players grow and develop.
– In other words, during this tournament, you will support the Bulgarian national team?
“Yes, you can say that.
– Can this European Championship be considered as a full-fledged one, given that one of the favourites, the Russian team, is not playing?
– Any tournament in which there is no Russian team can be considered inferior. Everyone has a good chance, the teams are fairly equal in their level. We hope and believe that we will be back soon,” Semyshev told .
Semyshev means Dynamo Moscow. As a member of the Russian national team, he became a Nations League winner in 2019.
