When I arrived in Perm some people told me that Zvezda-2005 midfielder Valentina Savchenkova can have a difficult personality.
“If she does not get a pass she expects, she gets angry,” I was told.
Valentina Savchenkova
I guess it is true Savchenkova can be difficult but she also has the perfect attitude for football.
Players like Savchenkova are always looking for more. Instinctively they know what’s needed to perform at the top level. At the right moment she gives her team that impulse.
All teams and coaches need players like Savchenkova. For me, Valya is easy to work with, because she has enormous ambition and desire to work. She’s a player who can drive the team on.
It is truism that best football must be played off the ball and Savchenkova is always running for teammates.
