The Cup of the Youth Volleyball League started in Nizhnevartovsk, which will be played by eight teams. The first three days of the tournament will be held in two groups, and then we are waiting for an exciting stage of the playoffs, starting from the quarter-finals.
In the first match of the MVL Cup, the affiliated team of Gazprom-Ugra - YUKIOR, beat Belogorye-2. Our guys groped for their game in the first game (16:25), and then turned out to be stronger in the next three sets - 25:18, 25:20 and 25:18. Ivan Skvortsov became the best among the Ugra team, chalked up 18 points (56% realization in the attack, 3 block). Low effectiveness in attack (27%) Oleksandr Slobodyanyuk, who returned to the team, compensated 5 aces, Konstantin Bessogonov scored six points out of seven attempts in the center of the grid, setter Maxim Kirillov played at his level, useful after the match and in terms of personal statistics (2 Ace, 4 points in attack, 1 block). Outcomer Kirill Motorygin became the best in the opponent's line-up, 15 points, 58% efficiency in attack, 67% positive reception, 3 Ace.
YUKIOR head coach Artem Khabibullin praised the outcome of the match: "Satisfied with the result, but not a game. We managed to win more not due to team actions, but individually and using the opponent's mistakes. We will try to add.
In another match of our group, this year's international champion Dynamo-Olimp from Moscow defeated Zenit-2 from St. Petersburg, which received a wild-card 3:0 (26:24, 25:19, 25:19). Yukior will play against Muscovites tomorrow, a 6 may meet with an opponent from St. Petersburg.
Teams in group B, seriously strengthened before the tournament by Superleague players - Fakel-2 Novy Urengoy, Lokomotiv-SShOR Novosibirsk, "SShOR-Samotlor" Nizhnevartovsk, as well as "Yenisei-2" from Krasnoyarsk. Tournament hosts, seem to be, set out to win, calling on the team of Novosibirsk pupils, played a season for the main team, Maxim Sapozhkov and Maxim Kreskin, as well as Nazar Litvinenko. But the rivals in the group have no worse resources. for example, Sergei Ushkov, who just played the play-out round in Surgut for Neftyanik, will play for Fakel, as well as rotation players of the main "Torch" Korney Enns and Nikita Mushenko.
Generally, the tournament is going to be interesting, no clear favorite. YUKIOR, stopped a step away from the medals of the international championship, certainly, will try to create intrigue in the Cup, despite a noticeable strengthening of rivals.
