Introducing the opponent: "Belogorye" returned to its height
The last time Gazprom-Yugra beat Belogorye 4 January 2021 year in Surgut. That championship became the starting point for the Belgorod residents in their rebirth - falling to last place, Since then, the team has been systematically climbing up in pursuit of past glory.. And now the status quo, status of one of the strongest clubs in the country, almost restored. “Bronze” last season is proof of this.
But a much more reliable confirmation of Belogorye’s return to the grandees of domestic volleyball is the game itself performed by the team and the corresponding selection of players. A local student is in touch with Belogorye, one of the best Russian setters here and now, Roman Poroshin. Diagonally with him for the third season now, Moroccan Mohammed Al-Khachdadi has been “walking” on top of the block. In the final round - another one of the best in his role today, Pavel Tetyukhin, as well as a luxurious choice between the powerful Chinese legionnaire Zhang Jining and the Belarusian of Russian origin Andrei Marchenko, who is focused on a high-quality overall game, which made a splash last season, playing for Shakhtar Soligorsk. The illustrious veteran Yuri Berezhko is always ready to help with reception and more..
In the center of the grid, the potential heir of Dmitry Musersky, Georgy Zabolotnikov, rules the roost., he is helped by very, very qualified Sergei Chervyakov, Yuri Tsepkov and Alexander Melnikov. The position of libero this season was filled by Valentin Golubev and Belarusian Maxim Budyukhin. Two more players left to introduce, as they say, square, who in most other teams would play in the base are setter Roman Zhos and diagonal Ivan Podrebinkin.
In the first six rounds, Belogorye won five victories, losing in the tiebreaker only to Zenit Kazan. The Belgorod residents have a five-set victory over St. Petersburg's Zenit and a dry defeat of the capital's Dynamo.. The team plays its home matches for the second season in Tula, and Gazprom-Yugra will obviously have a hard time in the local arena.
Today we don’t have to compare our lineups and compare our skills with “Belogorye”, but the Surgutians are quite capable of playing decently. Is considered, that Gazprom-Yugra is the home team, but this is nothing more than a popular opinion. In fact, we are capable of winning there, where we can “catch” the courage and add that very “magic dust”, which comes from attitude and self-confidence.
In the case of “Belogorye” the speech, rather, it's about that, to show decent volleyball, put up fierce resistance and there already, but after another long break, Viktor Poletaev, diagonal of the Russian national team, returned to action, it will come down to interesting numbers on the scoreboard. Our arguments: in balance between creativity and quality Maxim Kirillov, riding the wave Vitaly Papazov, calculating Alexey Rodichev, cold-blooded Artem Masko, mobile “burning” centers and liberos. Playing from defense is Belogorye's strong point, but we just have to try to play this game, play on wagering, I cracked, insurance, try if not to jump over your opponent, then run across it.
Wait for the piggy bank to be replenished in Tula, frankly speaking, cocky, but this factor can also be used to your advantage: play loosely, без оглядки на счет, попробовать и посмотреть, what happens.
