We are waiting for interesting volleyball

13-first round, "Gazprom-Ugra", played nine matches in the national championship, takes St. Petersburg "Zenith", who entered the site eleven times ... This is the reality of this tournament, like that, that it is impossible to predict the lineups of the playing teams, and the whole club can go into the quarantine fog at any time.

In such conditions, teams play, what is called, to the touch. Will Viktor Poletaev leave in Surgut? And if it comes out, then in what state? How much did Yegor Klyuka recover?? Why didn't Halo Camejo play in the last match?? Will Dmitry Pashitsky make his debut? Many questions, and they all directly affect Friday's match.

Everything is calm at Gazprom-Yugra. Everyone is healthy, everyone is eager to fight. The status of favorites is not about Surgutyan now, what, generally, has its advantages. Testing yourself in the match against Zenit St. Petersburg without any pressure is an ideal opportunity for development. The club has a pretty intense internal work, the team is rolling, is growing, adds.

There is something to add. Potential of the same Rajab Shahbanmirzaeva, rather unexpectedly became number 1 in the diagonal, highly dependent on the level of chemistry with the binders. Rajab - reactive diagonal, somewhat reminiscent of the same Poletaev, but without Victor's height, which allows the player of the national team and "Zenith" to bypass the block and on high balls. Consequently, our diagonal needs a quick exit to the striking position and meeting the ball exactly at a given point - then this is a very dangerous cutting tool.

You can remember the fighting qualities of Kirill Kostylenko. He was tortured in the match against Kuzbass, but we know, that he knows how to forget failures and through I cannot give high-quality volleyball. Also, the potential of Ivan Nikishin has not been fully disclosed., who is able to become a leader in the fourth zone, carry the main load there, including knocked out emergency balls. Let's not forget about Kirill Fialkovsky, able to confuse the most famous rivals with non-standard actions.

Our mobile centers plus Alexey Chanchikov, who demonstrates a balanced game, is the basis of active defense, allowing Gazprom-Ugra to gain more and more additional matches from match to match. There is a backlog in the supply, and in reception…

I would also like to say about Evgeny Rukavishnikov. Experienced setter plays unevenly while, he has not yet reached the level, which showed at the beginning of this calendar year. It's a matter of practicing standard actions, as well as tactical training in non-standard situations - sometimes Eugene gives out a very subtle and, the main thing, useful game, and sometimes allows an obvious high-quality marriage. He knows best the recipe for correcting mistakes and there is great hope., that in the near future Rukavishnikov will stabilize the game, where the huge growth potential of the whole team lies.

Plus Surgut youth, who is eager to fight - Slobodyanyuk, Voronchikhin, Stradomsky and others. Most of the "Zvezda Ugra" is ready to sparkle today at least occasionally in the Super League, sniff this gunpowder, what is worth a lot in the development of young players.

Generally, to play with the most powerful St. Petersburg "Zenith", composed entirely of the key players of the Russian national team, we approach with restrained optimism. The previous match with Kuzbass was the best in terms of quality for Surgut residents in the championship, I want to see the continuation of this trend. We are waiting for Friday, watching the broadcast - spectators in Ugra are still not allowed into the stands.
