Kosheleva, along with another seasoned player, Dobriana Rabadzhieva, will be the the Chinese club’s main weapons in the world’s biggest women’s club competition this season.
The Russian outside spiker has been recovering well after suffering from a knee injury that sidelined her in the 2017 season. She played in Brazil and Italy after that and the 30-year-old Kosheleva thinks that she is up for the challenge with her new team.
“For me any tournament is always a challenge and you always have that desire to become a winner. However, I know that this tournament will be special. It has been a little over a year and a half after my knee injury. I worked a lot to rebuild my strength and finally I feel great. Therefore, I take each day to enjoy the game, my team, the atmosphere. So I am confident that good results will come,” Kosheleva said.
“It is true that this season, all the teams at the Women’s Club World Championship are top class. It is a challenge but also a great motivation for me and my team to work even harder every day to represent our club Evergrande outstandingly in this tournament because it is a celebration of volleyball and I am waiting for it with great anticipation and excitement.”
