mission Possible
This weekend the mission of Gazprom-Ugra is to try to beat its guests from Dynamo-LO in the standings. To do this, you just need to beat the pine fighters twice, one win in two matches will keep the status quo, but we won't even talk about defeats.
This mission is quite feasible, although certainly difficult - simple games, as we have seen recently with "Neftyanik", there is no Super League. And it is doable because, that the game of our team has changed. The coaching staff kept their promise and built a working organism with its own handwriting, style, which is nice to look at. Fast, movable, tenacious - to this team, perhaps, nearly enough power, but she shows, what is European volleyball in Russian conditions. Volleyball, who wins at the expense of thought, teamwork, techniques, optimal use of available resources. Three wins in the last four matches are proof of this.
As rivals, we got a team with a very solid set of names. Powerful scorer Nikita Alekseev in the diagonal, Denis Biryukov and Lukash Divish in the final game, Alexander Abrosimov and Sergei Busel in the center ... Recently, Dynamo have had quite serious problems with binders: the main player Igor Tisevich was out of action, and his understudy Marat Gafarov did not show the required level. But in the last match, the players managed to find an understanding with Ivan Lukyanenko, invited in an emergency, the result of which was the victory over Belogorie with the score 3:1.
For a two-legged confrontation it is important, that the pine fighters have a good long bench, which on a good day is capable of almost completely changing the main composition. Diagonal Andrey Kolesnik, playwrights Maxim Shpilev and Anton Botin, centers Artem Melnikov and Slavomir Byarda - take anyone and play. Overall, the team is balanced and capable of much.
Games of Gazprom-Ugra with the team of Oleg Sogrin, well-known in Surgut, almost always take place in a bitter struggle, often - in five parties. Upcoming matches are unlikely to be an exception, on the outcome of which a lot depends for both clubs. The specifics of the format - two games in two days - seem to imply an economical balance of forces along the entire distance, but this is hardly suitable for the people of Surgut. Our guys will give their best on Saturday, and then come out on Sunday and get it all out, what's left. Only with this attitude can you win in the Super League, and no one promised us an easy life, neither to an opponent.
