Tatiana Kosheleva: “The national team is my favorite time in volleyball, but now I need a break.”

Russian Star player, Tatiana Kosheleva, after playing a season in Brazil, told in an interview with Russian media Sport-express that, she will miss the Volleyball Nations League this season for sure!!

Kosheleva said: “I have already had several conversations with the head coach Vadim Pankov. I honestly said that at the moment I am not ready. My favorite time in volleyball is with the national team. Playing for Russia is very cool. But you need to understand that I have come a long way to recovery after a serious injury. And for 13 years I have not had a single year when I could take a break. I think it’s time to devote some time to myself and recovery.”

“I will miss the Volleyball Nations League for sure, and then life will show. You need to come to the national team with great desire, energy and readiness. But at the moment I have neither the strength nor the emotional charge. The moment has come in my life when I need a break. The next season is Olympic, so I can take a break this year only.” said Kosheleva.

Will Kosheleva join the Russia national team for the European Championship and World Cup later? We will have to wait and see.
