Interview with Brankica Mihajlovic

We made fun interview with Branka after  Dominican Republic match

Kerem Toros: Congratulations first


Brankica Mihajlovic: -Thank you .Finally. Close victory.


Kerem Toros: World Championship is coming next as you know. What are the advantages and disadvantages of your team compare to the others ?


Brankica Mihajlovic: -Yeah well now we are not actually thinking about the World Championship but it is coming soon after Grand Prix. We have a though group. Some other really good teams are with us but after we finish grand prix we have almost one month to prepare well so I believe we can do it and to be in the same level with the very best teams. So we will see… We have also good team experience and young team but we have our chance. We will see… Long days to come…

Kerem Toros:  We have called our national team as " Filenin Sultanlari". Does your team have such a nickname ?

Brankica Mihajlovic: -Ah Turkey, no actually no its just Serbia Sırbistan.

Kerem Toros: You are the player who we want to see in Turkey. When will we see you in our league ?

Brankica Mihajlovic: -You want to see me in Turkey? Thank you very much. I didn’t know. Actually one of my goals is to come one day and play in Turkey. Fortunately or likely next season I will play in Russia. It is for me a challenge but I would like one day to come to Turkey. I hope they will invite me and to be a part of Turkey. In volleyball Turkey has grown so much and also such great teams and great players so I hope I can be a part of that.

Kerem Toros: With whom do you get along better within your team friends ?


Brankica Mihajlovic: -Well you cannot choose just one player. We are a good group of good players. We are working every day to become better. Some of us are still improving because they are young but I cannot choose just one this is a team sport and not individual so I think we are doing a great thing. In Ankara we didn’t have great results, just one victory, but still I think we have more space to improve and for us it’s the upcoming World Championship, the most important thing in this year

Kerem Toros: Good luck for another matches

Brankica Mihajlovic: -Thank you very much. It was my pleasure. I hope to be a part of Turkey :)
