– Vladislav, vacation is over. Could you, please, tell us how it was like.

– I spent my vacation at home, in Ekaterinburg. It was on the couch but it was a very active vacation with my family. The middle son Vladik – the boy is very bright, he slowly begins to work with the ball, we played with him on the court. Thus, I maintained my sports form in the off-season.

– You must not have missed such an event as the World Cup. What were your impressions?

– I watched almost all the games. The championship is very strong, the teams showed good soccer. Of course, I was rooting for the Russian national team. In Yekaterinburg, I saw crowds of enthusiastic fans. Everything was organized and held at a very high level.

– What about your participation in tournaments on the international stage?

– Tournaments in the international arena are one of my favorites: World Cup, European Championship, UEFA Cup. There’s a completely different atmosphere, a different mood. These tournaments should be approached with all responsibility and in full combat readiness. In the new season our team takes part in the UEFA Champions Futsal League. Of course, I watched the draw and we have a good, strong group. We are waiting and preparing for the preliminary round in October in Slovenia.

– What attitude did you start training with in the new season?

– There is a huge desire to defend the earned titles. The club first made a double: won the Cup of Russia and the national championship, in the history of the club this has not happened yet. It will be difficult to repeat, but it is possible!
