Wednesday at Kutuzovsky
Amid massive quarantine cancellations of matches ("Oilman" did not come to Surgut, and Dynamo-LO will not come) clubs seek and find creative ways out of the situation. So Gazprom-Yugra will still play 21 October, just not at home with pine fighters, and visiting with their metropolitan teammates. At Dynamo, the 6th round match with Zenit Kazan was postponed to 11 November, so that the resulting window by mutual agreement was filled with the meeting of the 12th round. The match will take place in the new arena of Dynamo in the west of the capital, on Vasilisa Kozhina street, next to Kutuzovsky prospect.
To understand, who is the favorite in the next meeting, no need to look at the standings. Yes, Dynamo have not yet lost a single game in the championship, residents of Surgut won one. But let's not forget, that practically the entire route passed by Gazprom-Yugra is the path of youth formation, such a useful "quarantine". Dynamo, in any case, is one of the potential leaders of the championship, a team with a perfectly matched roster.
This season, Muscovites have strengthened their attacking power by Tsvetan Sokolov in the diagonal and Yaroslav Podlesnykh in the final game, Vadim Likhosherstov also won a place above the net. Together with Ilya Vlasov, they make up, perhaps, the tallest wall in the Super League in the center. Throw in the consistently high-profile Sam Daru, one of the most talented liberos Evgeny Baranov ... a team with practically no flaws. If you find fault, roughness can be noted in the interaction of Pavel Pankov with the attackers, which the binder compensates for with passion and always dangerous feeds. But even if some of the leaders do not work out, the length and depth of the bench allows Konstantin Bryanskiy to rotate the squad quite confidently.
But we, of course, it will be more interesting to look at Surgutyan. In the match with "Belogorye", as senior coach Anton Malyshev correctly noted, our main staff, in fact, debuted in the championship. Party took, but there is no need to talk about teamwork and automation, as well as about optimal playing conditions. Moscow should be cleaner. The level of the team is always clearly visible in games with a strong opponent: how much concentration is maintained, what toolkit works.
obviously, that the first task of "Gazprom-Yugra" in the capital is to cope with the powerful supply of the owners. There will be a reception - there will be a game, and here an important word can be said by a pupil of the Dynamo system Aleksey Chanchikov. Respectively, the game in reception is extremely important and our sideplayers - from it we will dance. Let's keep the pickup at an acceptable level - it will be possible to think about the production of break balls due to the mobile defense. In attack, perhaps, most worried about the state of the diagonal: whether Radion Miskevich will be able to reach the usual level, how ready to fight with the tall capital bloc Rajab Shahbanmirzayev.
Generally, on wednesday we will not be left without volleyball, even if not in Surgut. Despite all the circumstances, the championship goes ahead.
