The shortest exit: emotions cannot be avoided
It is pointless to paint the history of the confrontation between Gazprom-Yugra and its neighbors from Yugra-Samotlor: I hang out, as they say, families. Long, persistently, fundamentally. Nizhnevartovsk thundered at the dawn of Russian volleyball, then for a long time Surgut dictated its terms, and sometimes there was no one to dictate, in the last couple of years, our neighbors have bypassed us in the standings.
The significance of a particular match is also difficult to overestimate.: each of the opponents has one point after two rounds and the winner if he does not receive everything, then at least go ahead. clear, that the championship is long and everything is local, but… Surgut vs Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnevartovsk vs Surgut is always at least emotional and exciting.
The composition of "Ugra-Samotlor" is traditionally thoroughly shaken up before each championship. This time, apart from Maxim Kreskin and Nazar Litvinenko, none of the main figures of the last season, it seems, and not left. But familiar faces and surnames - more than enough. Setter Pavel Akhaminov spent a year in Surgut, and Denis Shipotko is ours at all, Surgut. Attention is drawn to the Belgorod pupil Alexander Zakhvatenko, son of Ivan Zakhvatenko, who played the season at ZSK-Gazprom in the very first season of our team in the Super League. Nikita Aksyutin from Krasnoyarsk also showed up a couple of years ago in Surgut, helped us at the end of the championship.
Among the current leaders of "Ugra-Samotlor" is Denis Kochnev, pupil of the Dynamo metropolitan school, played in Kaliningrad, far from all of them work with young people in Russia, and far from always, as a result of this work, it is possible to harvest a high-quality harvest, Orenburg and Yaroslavl. Diagonal partner of Litvinenko - Denis Gorbachev, a native of Kemerovo, and in the center of the grid you will find the new captain of the Wart team Roman Yerkin, who became the best blocker of the major league "A" last season as part of Lokomotiv-Izumrud.
"Ugra-Samotlor" in the interpretation of head coach Valery Pyaskovsky - a team with the so-called "common game". It means, that on the site there is no emphasis on any particular role or performers, but there is a tenacious struggle for every ball, where each episode is decided in terms of game expediency. Traditionally, Nizhnevartovtsy hold the ball well, they don’t give much themselves - you have to take your own from them, through layered resistance. I didn't say "traditional" for nothing., because this impression, established over the past years. What is "Ugra-Samotlor" now - it's hard to say.
At the Russian Cup Nizhnevartovsk looked rather toothless, but the head coach at the same time spoke confidently about the formation of a new team, about the "wedding" of the chassis and motor. At the start, the team almost took the match from ASK, making it clear, that you should not relax with her. But in Novy Urengoy I did not find counterarguments against Grankin and the young company. What the opponent is able to show in the game with us - by and large, a riddle. One thing's for sure: in your hall, and even against Gazprom-Ugra, Nizhnevartovsk residents will give two hundred percent. Will it be enough for them to win?? We will see.
