At the end of the past season, the goalkeeper of "Zvezda" and the Russian national beach soccer team, Anna Akylbaeva, felt a lack of playing practice due to the small number of tournaments. Anna told about this in an interview with the BSRussia correspondent Mikhail Kudin.
"As people say, "The season is over, and thanks to God." It's been a tough year, mostly psychologically. I didn't stop training, even during the period of total isolation. I found all sorts of ways to keep my body on its toes. When team training was allowed, it was hard for me. No one knew what we were working for, what we were preparing for, whether we were going to compete or not. There were even questions during the competition: will we finish the tournament or everything would be shut down.
The sense of constant waiting has personally drained me this year. Physically, at the end of the season, there was a sense of underplay. The numbers speak for themselves. Instead of the usual 40-50 matches, I ended up with only 16," - Anna answered the question about impressions of the 2020 season.
In 2020, Anna Akylbaeva became the champion of Russia with "Zvezda" and got bronze medals of the women's Euro Winners Cup.
