Two surprises of the second day
The second game day in Surgut brought two surprises at once. The first one happened in the youth match between Belogorya and the experienced Dynamo-LO. We immediately note, that a connecting Kazbanov and a central blocking Zabolotnikov appeared on the site of the Belgorod residents, and Yaroslav Vasilenko set the optimal lineup, beaten on the eve of "Oilman".
But the mood of the pine conquerors was clearly lame, and at "Belogorya" the serve flew. The first tangible gap happened on a powerful ball into the game from Sidenko - 16:12 from 12:12. Dynamo gradually concealed the distance, but every time the pitch intervened. First ace Kuznetsova, 18:14, and in the endgame Tetyukhin's excellent streak shifted the score from 20:18 on 24:18 and Chervyakov had only to realize the second set-ball, 25:19.
In the second game Dynamo-LO felt the required level of pressure on the opponent and internal concentration, having achieved a difficult, but a confident victory 25:20. And in the next set, the debut picture was repeated: 12:9 in favor of "Belogorya" on Sidenko's serves turned into 14:9. Belgorodians kept their distance for a long time - 16:11 after Diviš attacked out - but then the experience and a certain sporting anger of Dynamo turned the game mechanism in the opposite direction. They managed to overtake the opponent at the mark 22:22 and put the squeeze in the end 24:26. This set became a turning point - in the fourth game the pine fighters put the squeeze on the opponent, 25:21.
Head coach of VC "Dynamo-LO" (Pinery) Yaroslav Vasilenko: In Orenburg with "Belogorye" it turned out to be a simple game, but I warned the guys, that this is youth and it is not known, what to expect from them. Many of our guys are already tired, I had to change the game due to rotation. I am glad, that the guys left the bench and were able to help in this tough match.
Senior coach of VC "Belogorye" (Belgorod) Alexander Kosarev: Just like yesterday, we still have a marriage in transfer, we do not use our trick - do not score something, that they should score on one block due to a poor-quality pass. We tried the second passer today, but he also has a lot of marriage. Plus nobody canceled their mistakes, there are still a lot of them. We have what we have - we struggle with ourselves more, than with a rival.
The second surprise of the game day - defeat of the owners from "Neftyanik". The beginning of the match did not bode well for Surgut residents: on the serves Fialkovsky "Gazprom-Yugra" went into a serious lead, 9:2. A little worried about the lack of effective action from Rajab, but in the middle of the set he burst into an ace, 15:10. "Oilman" was shooting, making a lot of mistakes, on the pitch, Frost was not at ease - 18:13 after Dovgan's block on it. The guests pulled up on 18:16, but after the time-out of Surgutyan, the score began to rise again in favor of the hosts, and ace Dovganya did not leave the opponent a chance, 24:17 and 25:17 after the completion of Rajab.
But already from the start of the second set, the teams seemed to have changed their shirts - 1:6 on frost feeds. The escape of the guests seemed to be leveled, 6:7 after playing Fialkovsky from the block and 11:11 - here the protection of the owners has already worked. But Moroz came out to serve again and gave an excellent streak with two aces in a row, 12:16 - it was no longer possible to organize another chase, 19:25.
The next two sets can be combined into one description: the owners looked tired, and the guests got courage and excitement. The feed flew, Pudding and Moroz looked great in attack. At the designated reception, Rukavishnikov was forced to turn off the first tempo, and at the edges, the attackers attacked from high balls on an organized block, which often led to losses. Nikishin and Fialkovsky left the court in the fourth game, and young Slobodyanyuk and Stradomsky played with dignity, but they couldn't save the game. "Oilman" won a well-deserved victory, 20:25, 19:25.
Head coach of VC "Neftyanik" (Orenburg) Vladimir Vikulov: Our motivation today – we are Super League debutants, we assembled a team based on the remnants and we managed to assemble a combat team. During the season, we did not succeed in many things., but today - a lot has happened. Thanks guys for that, that they were concentrated from start to finish. The first batch turned out to be a failure again., but we did not give up and fought until the last whistle. There was already a fight in the second game. What I liked - a few balls endured, didn't win quickly. Well, the third set became a turning point.
Senior coach of VC "Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut) Anton Malyshev: We won the first game quite easily and confidently, problems started in the second. A series of incredible mistakes of my own started, what led to an imbalance in the game and the result on the scoreboard. Very humiliating defeat, especially with so many viewers. I want to apologize to them on behalf of the team for such a defeat.
