In an interview released by plusgliga.pl, the 29 year old German opposite hitter confesses that playing in Russian Superliga is much harder than in Polish Plusliga. He said: "A surprise for me was the fact serving an in Russian League is much more difficult than in Poland. Almost every team has good reception". He added that many teams have tall players and good blockers. "Only Skra, Resovia and Delecta may take fight with Russian teams. Winning is so hard here, even in front of your own fans. I don't know why, but in Poland, matches at home were much easier. You could always be sure that you will win. Here in Russia sometimes it is easier to win away than at home. Everything is more complicated here".
