VISITING POLETAYEV AND CO.
Gazprom-Yugra, in a good mood after the victory over the capital's Dynamo and a week of fruitful work, went on an away tour along the route Kemerovo-Novosibirsk-Samara. First stop in the capital of Kuzbass, probably, the most difficult, after all, the opponent rightfully occupies second place in the championship standings, having won in 12 matches from 14.
Kuzbass' success formula is a rival, divided by Poletaeva. With all other things being equal or almost equal, it is the factor of the diagonal Kemerovo that is often decisive: Victor attacks a lot and with a good percentage (second in the league in terms of points scored at 55 percentage of efficiency - of the wingers, only Maxim Mikhailov and Sergei Savin, who has missed a lot lately). At the same time, Poletaev blocks well and serves well..
But it would be a mistake to consider Kuzbass a one-man theater: the composition as a whole is very qualified and balanced. No obvious weaknesses, and the non-obvious ones are also not visible. Yes, one of the players in a particular game may crash, but the bench does not sleep, and the head coach too, - for Tuomas Sammelview General team tone is of paramount importance.
Can, This is the secret of Kuzbass' success? They go into games with leaders and outsiders equally charged and keep the charge throughout the game. It seems that all teams are trying to do the same, but not everyone succeeds, that's the difference.
"Gazprom-Yugra", need to say, I’ve also been able to maintain concentration at a high level lately. Another thing, that the resource of the Surgut team is slightly lower - and in the diagonal we do not have such a furious option (although at the same time Bohdan Glivenko we believe), and in the center the rotation is not due to a good life. Nevertheless, due to team tactics and strict implementation of instructions (plus the individual skill of individual players) we are able to keep the bar high enough. Is it high enough to win in Kemerovo over the current Kuzbass? – hard to say. But try, undoubtedly, costs. Attempt, as they say, not torture.
