Key game

On Saturday, Gazprom-Yugra will play the most important match for its current tournament biography with Novokuybyshevskaya "New". In case of winning four rounds before the finish, we may well go to the handicap just four victories over the teams, not falling into the playoffs so far. That is, in the column "task for the season" you can practically set a checkmark. If we lose, a situation not critical, But it will be complicated. But this match is much more important for "new". In fact, For Volzhan, this is perhaps the last chance to stay in the fight for going out to the qualification round.

"Nova" of those few teams in the Super League, which we in home walls with a full base should beat. However, The word "must", as we understand, does not guarantee anything to anyone. Honestly, Before the season it seemed to me, that “Nova” with a rather eminent composition should be higher in the standings.

NOVA players are experience, multiplied by experience. The main connecting national team of Serbia Nikola Yovovich, all Mikhail Shcherbakov who have seen in volleyball, Maxim Spiev, Andrey Ananiev, Andrey Titich, Nikita Eremin. The thunderstorm of Surgut (Judging by the history of meetings) Denis Litvinov. Special, presumably, The bet was made by Novokuybyshevsk for a couple of long -livers from the Ufa Urals – Diagonal Evgeny Rybakov and the reinforced worker Yegor Feoktistov.

But Yegor received a serious injury, from which he recently recently recently, what affected the results. Still, this is a rod player, in due time to the national team. He did not play in the match "Nova" and "Gazprom-Yugra" in the first round, When we guests won a confident dry victory. But in Surgut Feoktistov will play.

Nova lost the last three matches with a score 0:3. If in the defeats of Dynamo and St. Petersburg Zenit it is difficult to find something sensational, then a home loss to a direct competitor - Nizhny Novgorod ASK - probably became very painful. Yes, ASK is now on the rise and is desperately clinging to the last chances (And we will soon play in Surgut with them), but "on paper" "Nova" looks at least no worse. “On paper” “Nova” is at least no worse and “Gazprom-yugra”. How will it be on the site? They say, that volleyball is a game of mistakes. I think, that the amount of own marriage can be a key indicator in the upcoming match. And it is also necessary to pay special attention to the Volzhan block: In this element they are especially strong.
