New Year, new round of the championship - we start all over again, except for the postponed game with the capital Dynamo. At the start of the championship, in Krasnoyarsk, we gave in 0:3, although they had a chance to catch on in the first set, and then - who knows?. Yenisei, lost the strike trio Murashko-Bocharov-Dmitriev in the off-season, to the surprise of many, became at least no worse and presented Read more »
In each game, the hosts made serial mistakes in attack: in two out of five cases the series was corrected, in three - no. It all started with the first of many aces from Slavi today, 2:1. Next - an equal game until the mark 12:12. Then Filippov contrived to pass a low ball to Zheleznyakov and he dug it into the court, Rodichev did not beat Filippov and Shcherbakov on the block, Nikiforov sent the ball into touch on a clean net, 13:16. Slavi took over - and also out, 14:17.
Every announcement of the Gazprom-Ugra match, faith in the team and corporate solidarity requires writing: "we can win", "must beat", “we have to fight”... The connotation should be positive even against Zenit-Kazan. On the eve of the home match with Gorky I say, what we, probably, we'll lose. This is objective reality. I still believe in the team, but that's exactly what faith is. I hope, that we will win, Read more »
Home tour of YUKIOR, Let's face it, failed. One win in four matches with Dynamo-LO and St. Petersburg Zenit is not the same result, which we all counted on. On the other hand... After a dry victory over Zenit, there were two games with Dynamo-LO, given on balance, 23:25. it, apparently, our youth broke down - we lost the third set 21:25. After the day Read more »
Ace Rodicheva - and the Surgutians are ahead 3:1. Peric kicks out, but the video preview captures the touch of the block, without allowing to create a serious gap. Safonov for the second time with a discount records the lack of insurance for the owners in the “cauldron”, and then the block eats Kostadinov twice in the fourth zone - all these are the fruits of analysis and implementation of the installation. Here Tkachev also misses, 4:6.
After a “respite” in Sosnovy Bor, Gazprom-Ugra in December will have a couple of important home matches with direct competitors and a trip to Moscow to Dynamo.. The next meeting is on Saturday with Novaya, Where, properly, and it will become clear, Are we competitors and if so?, what about. I'm getting a little tossed up, when we talk, that we compete on equal terms with better equipped and Read more »
We started right away by watching - Kolenkovsky is out, 1:0. They almost took another one right away, fortunately the hosts admitted to touching the block, 2:1. Sosnovoborets did not present anything unsolvable on the grid, but we ourselves made mistakes in the final games, and when Paz and Shevlyakov separated in space, Dynamo-LO took the lead, 3:4.
At the start of the match, the hosts lost the edges of their home court - Shkredov hit out three times. Block to Antonov and ace Slavi, 8:2. But gradually MSTU came to its senses and returned with the help of a block: Tkachev was not allowed in twice, Ganenko reached the edge of Kostadinov, Litvinov didn't score, 13:13.
The game in Moscow with MSTU is another battle with a direct competitor for six points. No need to look at the standings, where we have four victories, and Muscovites have one. Objectively, MSTU is also a participant in the battle for a place in the Sun, as we are, and is probably considering playing with us, as an opportunity to improve the situation. Read more »
Fire match in Kemerovo, in which the opponents reached the first tiebreaker of the season for both teams. And it all started rather sluggishly: the owners let me play, guests didn't want to use it. Litvinov chose the “right leg”, in the top four we didn't win anything at all, regularly and willingly made mistakes on serve. But somehow they were leading, and then just stayed afloat. But after 17:17 the owners broke through: on Kovalikov's serves they went to 22:17 – there’s ace, and Litvinov, who slowed down again...
