Zurich (SWITZERLAND) - Dinamo Krasnodar is debuting at the World Clubs Championship , competition which starts on Wednesday, 6th, and will be played until Sunday, the 10th, bringing together eight of the best teams in the women's volleyball on the planet at Saalsporthalle, in Zurich (Switzerland). But the Russian team can count on the wing-spiker Fe Garay, Olympic champion in London 2012, champion of the Grand Prix twice (2014/2013) and gold medalist at the Pan American Games in 2011, featured in the victorious campaign in the European Cup in 2015-CEV CUP. Garay, World club champion in 2012 with Osasco (SP), knows that the way to the podium is hard and analyzed rivals in Group B (Eczacibasi Vitra / Turkey and Hisamitsu Springs / Japan) in the championship which closes the season.
- No one is expecting nothing but great difficulty. We have the opportunity to make history, it is the same team that was champion of the European Cup and never played in the World Clubs Championship. Our first game will be against the champion of the Champions League. Both Eczacibasi, as Hisamitsu are teams of great quality in attack and game volume. To win, it is essential to defend well and, above all, patience to put the ball on the floor - she said, reminiscent of the 2012 conquest fondly. - It was right after the Olympics, we were very mingled with the group. It was my first participation in the World and came back with the gold.
Getting to the World's decision will be double joy reason for her. Garay turns 29 on the 10th, the final day, and the title would be 'perfect dream'.
- It would be the best gift I could receive, the perfect dream. It would be wonderful, very special. But I prefer to think of the competition, in a game at a time. It's a short tournament, the highest level, where are the best teams in the world - said Garay, called this week by José Roberto Guimarães for disputes of the Pan American Games in 2015 and Grand Prix.
