Half a match on equal terms
In Novy Urengoy, the youth team of Gazprom-Yugra faced an experimental set of players from the local Fakel. The opponent was missing the main pair of outplayers Volkov-Bogdan, Alexey Safonov played two thirds of the match, but the Zhukovsky-Zhigalov line was fully operational. Once again, we can only boast of the plumage of the Super League debutants, Yes, returned to duty Alexei Chanchikov. He largely glued the reception and added fire in defense, which came in handy.
For the Surgut youth was not at all going to lose: spurt in the opening of the match, one more closer to the middle - and on the scoreboard 12:9 The visitors. A neat game of stumbling over your own marriage 12:14 on Dikarev's serves, from which you could immediately leave, don't touch the ball, out of bounds. Let's start over: Yakutin, stuck in the Stulenkov block, begins to take revenge - by attack and his own block, 14:14. Opponents go head to head and Gazprom-Yugra even gets a break advantage, the opponent clings the net on the block, 20:19. The ending is decided by an experienced Zhigalov - he gives out a series of branded powerful feeds and lights up in the after-game, 21:23. Voronchikhin in the block, 21:24. Two points won back, but late - Boldyrev from the fourth zone puts an end, 23:25.
The second batch is developing according to a similar scenario.: equal fight again, again we come off by a couple of points - Zhigalov was unable to pick the ball out from behind the post after Yakutin's insidious serve, 13:11. Akhaminov begins to work out interaction with Dovgan, but the setter flirts and passes by the central, 15:15. Dovgan Eisom restores balance once again, 17:17 and, it seems, another tense ending awaits opponents. But then Volodin comes out to serve and earns an ace with an uncomplicated glider, 17:19. Then ours set up a reception, but there were serial misfires when trying to remove from the edges of the mesh: nor Shahbanmirzaev, neither Slobodyanyuk over and over again can do nothing with the size of the court and the opponent's block. And when Akhaminov decided to play the center, then the transfer went into short supply to Yakutin, 17:24. The vexed Slobodyanyuk throws the last ball into touch, 17:25.
In the third set, the story continues - 2:7 on Zhigalov's serves. To the honor of the Surgutyans, they didn’t give up playing and even got to a digestible distance - 11:13 after the block, Mushenko, who replaced Boldyrev. But then another failure, where everything played against us a little bit: Shahbanmirzaeva "read", Akhaminov did not break the block with fast passes, and drove Slobodyanyuk under him, Artem Khabibullin, who replaced him, did not improve the attacking performance of his partners. The "Torch" is good on the block and in the attack appeared Safonov, and we have again - out, block and 15:25.
game, shown by Gazprom-Yugra in the first half of the meeting, speaks of a good mood for struggle and the ability to maintain concentration. Unfortunately, these concentrated segments do not yet allow taking sets, and serial "collapse" in one or two constellations leaves no chance of salvation. The residents of Surgut are leaving Novy Urengoy with another batch of stuffed cones and, hope, head held high - in difficult conditions, the team does not give up.
