First tiebreak of the season

In the second match of the preliminary part of the Cup of Russia "Gazprom-Ugra" in a bitter struggle lost to the Orenburg "Neftyanik" 2:3. The game was so equal, that in the fifth set the scales tipped in favor of our opponent with a minimal score difference, 13:15. Though, hand on heart - should have taken the game.

But damp, damp ... As promised, the coaching staff of the Surgutians arranged a powerful rotation, releasing a new clip at the start - Rajab, Kastylenka, Inner, Pawn. We will not evaluate the actions of "newcomers", eventually, there are statistics. But she is a capricious lady, doesn't talk about everything. Not the best game was shown by Vadim Ozhiganov, but on the quality of transmissions, attackers also depend on the tactics of the setter.

Nevertheless, Anton Botin played very cheerfully, becoming the top scorer of the match with 22 glasses and 63% positive in reception, Kirill Piun earned 15 points, which is very good for a central. Nikita Alekseev, who replaced Rajab Shakhbanmirzaev, scored the same amount over the last three sets., fixing the percentage of efficiency at the mark 60.

In general, the outcome of the match was decided by the episodes unplayed by Surgut, unrealized own replays in play-offs. It was possible to run away in the account and in the second set, but Rajab in a comfortable position shot out, it was possible to cling to the fourth set - they didn’t convert a great chance and instead 21:21 went to 20:22, and then let the ace glider into the first zone… In the fifth, the quintessence turned out - led 10:8 and again failed to take the chance to earn a break, gave Vasiliev the opportunity to improve in the fourth zone. at level 12:12 after an excellent serve by Maxim Kirillov, who came on as a substitute, they received the ball, but didn't get it again.

So the outcome is natural according to the principle “if you don’t score, they score you”. bad aftertaste, of course, remained, any defeat upsets. But from the point of view of the tournament situation, nothing is lost., since a second meeting is to be held with Neftyanik. And in terms of accumulating gaming experience and understanding, who is capable of what, the match came out exactly as the doctor ordered.

Head coach of VK Gazprom-Yugra Rafael Khabibullin:

“We continue to be in the training process, look carefully, who and what we have. Today I let the guys go a little, to make them shudder, understood, how to move on. What can I say ... We only dream of peace. Yesterday was more fun, and today there are more questions, and half games, and by players. The team is not easy to be born, but i'm sure, that in the end everything will fall into place".

Alexander Gorbatkov, senior coach of VC "Gazprom-Yugra".:

“Today a different line-up came out, decided to look at the guys. Moments go well, but there are flaws, which need to be cleaned. Setter lacks skill, to become a full-fledged main link, to pull the attackers into comfortable conditions. Plus your mistakes, losing a lot of innings, intake needs to be cleaned up. Well, they didn’t take the ending themselves. Just like yesterday, we did not play with an opponent, but with themselves".
