DAY SEVEN: COVERED "YENISEI"
The seventh playout day finally buried even the theoretical chances of Yaroslavich to cling to the Super League. It became clear after the first match of the day, in which "Ugra-Samotlor" beat "Nova" 3:1. If it goes on like this, then the Nizhnevartovsk team may even manage to "give way" a place in the replay to the Krasnoyarsk "Yenisei", who lost the second match in a row, this time - to Gazprom-Yugra.
The Krasnoyarsk team’s block worked well in the opening of the match, 5:9 in favor of "Yenisey" after a double "cover" to Ursov. The Surgut team stood their ground - Chefranov ran to the opponent’s side for the ball, and the persistent Ursov unscrewed the ball from the block on the third attempt, 7:9. One more step - Chefranov's ace, 11:12. Mysin immediately responds with an ace, starting instead of Carroll, who failed the previous match, 11:14. Closer to the end, the Krasnoyarsk team had a great chance to go to “+5” and decide the outcome of the set, but Mysin failed to cope with the unusual function of a binder, 18:21. Chefranov immediately earns another point with a serve - Zhos was unable to handle the ball after a knocked down reception, 19:21. Krsmanovic receives his first ball in attack - 20:22. Shchadilov comes out to serve and knocks out Aksyutin with a glider, 22:22. Instead of the latter, Ilinykh appears on the site, and the block closes Mysin’s attack, 23:22. The beetle is lucky with the rebound from the block, the ball falls millimeters from the court, 23:23. But that’s where Yenisei’s luck ends, They end the game with their own marriage - Ilinykh submits to the network, and Marechal holds the ball at the discount, 25:23.
The start of the second game is again for the guests - two aces by Aksyutin, obtained by an unusual glider, Chefranov block, 3:6. But unlike the first set, Gazprom-Yugra instantly regains control of the game and the score - Krsmanovich scores and causes panic among the Yenisei hosts with his glider, 7:7. Adds Ursov - an ace and new difficulties in receiving, which lead to the blocking of Mysin, and then Aksyutin, 12:9.
“Enisey” is not going to give in – it’s getting hot on the court, long rallies with mutual desperate defense and exploits on the net. In this whirlwind, the guests managed to find a couple of breaks, and then Ursov makes a mistake - 16:16. The endgame unfolded from the mark 19:19 – Mysin doesn’t really hit the ball and attacks somewhere into space, 20:19. It's coming out - who would have thought?! - the evil genius of the glider Artem Dovgan. His low, sharp passes into the fifth zone completely deprived Yenisei of finishing - Chefranov is good at finishing the game, the block covers the Ilins, Marechal throws the move out, 23:19. But that’s not all – another vague move by Nikolas and Shchadilov brings a set point. Zhuk still manages to close Krsmanovic, but already in the next draw Khabibullin insistently asserts, that the Serb is good - 25:21.
Third set, equal game. All attempts to break away in the lead lead to nothing - the opponents are locked in a clinch and do not want to unclench their embrace. Chefranov's minor glitch - two shots out, and account 14:16. Unsuccessful passes from Zhosya to Ilinykh torture the finisher, a series of his mistakes shifts the balance to the hosts' side, 17:16. The torment is interrupted by Platanenkov entering the diagonal, and Ilinykh corrects his serve, earning two points, 17:19. In the end, the Surgut team again overtook their opponents, 22:22, 23:23. In the subsequent protracted rally, Gazprom-Yugra had a chance of success, but half the players hit the court, playing defense, there was no one to hit, but Zhuk didn’t miss, 23:24. The important ball is traditionally entrusted to Ursov in the four, but Kirill can’t cope this time, He hits out at, 23:25.
In the fourth game, the Surgut team proved, that they don’t care about the lost ending. Ace Chefranova, 4:2. Block Platanenkov, 9:6. But the opponent also clings to the chances, Aksyutin scores, corrected by Platanenkov, Panychev fires an ace - 10:9. The time for long pranks is over, the teams are tired and simply exchange smashing blows from all zones. Restores Urs performance, active Krsmanovic. Chefranov scores an emergency goal, and Krsmanovic manages to serve through the rope into the opponent’s court, 16:12. Gazprom-Yugra carefully delivers “+4” to the end, 20:16, where Dovgan gives out the next batch of hypnotic gliders, bringing the matter to ruin, 24:16. The denouement is very similar to that, what happened in the second set - again block to Krsmanovic, and again Petar puts an end to the next draw, 25:17.
Thus, Gazprom-Yugra retains ninth place, and remains in the tournament, perhaps, the latest intrigue is the Nizhnevartovsk team’s pursuit of “Yenisei”. What we could, those neighbors were helped, next - yourself.
Commentary after the match:
Head coach of VC "Enisey" (Krasnoyarsk) Lubomir Travitsa:
– We have a lot of simple mistakes, don't even know, how to explain this. Shots without blocking into touch, transmissions... It's all coming from my head, this is not a technique. Some players seem to be playing on the other side, very hard work. The situation is complicated.
Senior coach of VC "Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut) Yuriy Melnychuk:
– Yesterday I apologized for the weak-willed game, today the guys wanted to show, that we are playing a different volleyball. Today we tuned in, many moments were successful, the team fought - this is good news.
