Welcome home!
Alexey Rodichev is back in Surgut. In the distant 2009 year he moved to Gazprom-Yugra from Perm Uralsvyazinform (now "Prikamye") – with a shoulder injury, which did not allow him to show everything at once, what is he capable of?. But Rafael Khabibullin knew, whom he invited to the team and patiently worked on the player’s recovery. When Alexey was ready, he took his place on the court and remained a leader and captain for many years.
He played with Igor Kobzar, stood paired with Todor Alexiev, and when young Kirill Ursov and Anton Semyshev appeared in the team, was their mentor and role model. In the final of the CEV Cup 2016 of the year, when, due to possible “meldonium” consequences, Brjovic did not appear on the court in the return home match against Berlin, Bakun, Apalikov, the captain played and did everything he could.
