Failed to finish Lokomotiv
It was interesting at the Premier Arena: Andrey Arshavin in the stands, two diagonal at the same time on one side of the net and an almost completed tie-break. And it all started with a series of powerful serves by Lyzik - 0:6 The visitors. It was difficult for the owners to eliminate such a handicap, but they tried, fortunately, Novosibirsk helped with their own marriage. Alekseev scores an emergency ball after a pipe raised in defense by Savin, 7:9. Lokomotiv started up and started making breaks again, 8:15 after two aces of Perrin. Surgutians re-organize the chase: Shakhbanmirzaev, who came out to serve, knocks out an ace, 16:20, Alekseev blocks Luburic, 18:22, but everything is decided by the ace of Ropavka, who came on as a substitute, which after video playback turns into an error, 20:25.
In the second installment, the hosts managed to, what didn't work in the first: don't let the opponent get away. And then go ahead: Yakutin scores, then softens Kurkaev's attacks twice, which allows Lukyanenko to push the ball under the hands of Lokomotiv's blockers in a fantastic rally, then Egor is again accurate in attack, 12:10. Against the background of the fourth zone that sagged in the absence of Kovalev, activity in the center became a panacea. After Konstantinov's timeout, the Novosibirsk players seem to have taken the initiative back into their own hands., 13:15. Just at this moment, a double substitution is taking place in Lokomotiv, Tisevich and Kruglov appear, and the hosts, closing Perrin in another protracted beautiful rally, restore the balance, 17:17.
In an equal ending at Lokomotiv, Savin, loaded at the reception, is stable, while Gazprom-Yugra entrusts decisive balls to Alekseev. Kruglov equalizes, 22:22, Savin serves in the net, Savin serves in the net, Savin serves in the net. Savin serves in the net, Savin serves in the net, Savin serves in the net, 25:22.
Savin serves in the net: Savin serves in the net, 2:6. Savin serves in the net, 6:13. Savin serves in the net, Savin serves in the net, waiting for errors on the pitch from Makarenko and Dovgan, 16:25.
Rafael Khabibullin prepared a forced surprise for the fourth game - Shakhbanmirzaev appeared in the diagonal, and Alekseev moved to the position of a player, replacing Nikishin. This noticeably cheered up Gazprom-Ugra, since Nikita generally managed the reception and added weight in the attack from the fourth zone, and Rajab recalled his quick left hand. «Lokomotiv», Nevertheless, felt quite confident thanks to the dominance in the center of the grid and the presence of Savin. In the middle of the set, the guests' plans were destroyed by Yakutin's benefit performance: he went to the edge twice, stopping Savin and Luburic in turn, and then scored - 15:13.
Again, like in the second part, Lokomotiv quickly restores balance after a timeout, the Tisevich-Kruglov pair appears on the court again, and Kirill Vlasov's access to the serve gives Khabibullin a reason to take a timeout, 16:18. This works too: Surgutians overtake the opponent and the teams go into a protracted equal ending. Novosibirsk are the first to get to the match ball, but Savin puts out, 24:24. Perrin gets another chance, but now the serve is sent out by Kurkaev, 25:25. And then the Surguts, softening the removal of the "Locomotive" block, organize their own set-ball through the attack of Shakhbanmirzaev, 26:25. Four set-balls of the hosts are won by the guests with varying degrees of reliability, until the play-off is played by the best player in Lokomotiv – Sergey Savin, 29:30. Solves everything block Alekseev, who attacked from an awkward position in the fourth zone, 29:31.
Match comments:
Head coach of VK Lokomotiv (Novosibirsk) Plamen Konstantinov: After the first batch, the second batch happened. Smart people don't repeat the same mistake twice.. It turns out, that we weren't particularly smart today, because they repeated in the fourth set then, what happened in the second batch. Hence the dissatisfaction. We played in two extremes: let's play one game perfectly, to break, everything is fine - in the next game in the opposite direction, and so twice. I didn't like this instability., although the result is good for us, it is always difficult to play in Surgut. But we must draw our own conclusions.. It's too late to show character. If you are considered the best team and want to fight for prizes, If you are considered the best team and want to fight for prizes, If you are considered the best team and want to fight for prizes.

Game tone caught, well, what you won - the result is important. Surgut is always a difficult exit. Despite, that Gazprom-Ugra today had a constantly changing line-up, people were not even playing in their positions, Rafael Talgatovich always energizes the team. Guys are fighting, play, I can only wish them success and good luck.
Head coach of Gazprom-Ugr (Surgut) Anton Malyshev: The first batch speaks of mood and readiness. We have a good mid game, but we fail at the beginning and end, at the most important moments. Must add in own class and responsibility. In the fourth game, we released Alekseev to the end game , who has such experience and, in principle, played well. But in the end, the high class and high organization of Lokomotiv affected.
