PLAYING TOUGH
As a centre back she feels her position helps set the tone for the rest of the team. "I always have bruises after a game. My position is centre back, and there is always a fierce struggle in this area. Physical pressure is an important element to bring to the game, otherwise, the opponents can get away with things. But I'm not a vindictive person, I don't aim to be tough on anyone in particular. But if my teammates notice a bit of physical play, then they also begin to play tougher." (sports.ru, 07 Feb 2020)
