Bad tradition
It’s not for nothing that in the announcement of the match we talked about the traditions of the opening of the championship - Surgut, Unfortunately, repeated the result a year ago in Belogorye. And even according to the scenario, the match was similar - only this time we missed the victory in the second, and not in the third set, with the same score - 24:26.
And it all started quite well - 4:1 in the opening after Kostylenko's discount. "Belogorye" was pulled up with an ace by Captain Gutsalyuk, 4:3, and an ace by Luburic evened the score, 6:6. Equal play went to the mark 11:11, after which another ace - this time performed by Pavel Tetyukhin - created a small lead for the hosts, 11:13. While the Surgut team shot Maciej Muzai in the attack with a poor reception, Penchev made another serve right through - 15:19. How do you understand, we lost the first set, primarily, due to poor quality reception. We must pay tribute to the Belgorodians - this was a consequence of their aggressive presentation, while in response we were able to construct a single ace performed by Avdochenko (18:22). What else can you remember?? Three blocks of Muzayu, Avdochenko's shot down the line into touch, Dovganem touching the net with his foot... If you count, These mistakes led to the fiasco. 20:25 – it was Pirainen who came out to serve and sent the ball into the net.
In the second game the start was a success for the inspired hosts – 6:3. Львиная доля передач в атаке «Газпрома-Югры» полетела в сторону Музая – и это принесло свои дивиденды, 9:9 после его скидки. The equal game swung towards the guests - the Polish diagonal continued to score points at the speed of an electric meter, but his opponent Luburic hit out twice, 15:12. Symyshev, who came on instead of Penchev, climbed into the net, and Voropaev’s pass did not find Chervyakov’s hand - 18:13. Muzay and Luburic exchange attacks, and Voropaev serves out, 21:16. The home team needs to score twice as many points to win., but this does not stop Tetyukhin - he copes with the block on the second attempt and shoots an ace, 21:18. The referee calls Muzai out, but the video review records, that the ball hit the line, 22:18. At the end of a protracted rally, Chereisky scores, 23:19... And then two factors came into play. The first is Semyshev, who scored first, and then blocked Muzai, 23:21. And then he scored again, 23:22. The second factor is Galimov, who twice failed to appear in the fourth zone, 23:24. We waited for Luburic's mistake on serve, then he corrected himself in attack, and the tireless Semyshev issued ace, 24:26.
After such a cold shower, it’s difficult to find the strength to continue the fight. Surgutyans, Nevertheless, they held the blow - Rukavishnikov, who came out instead of Khabibullin, introduced several new dishes to the game menu, we patiently waited for the opponent's mistakes - and waited. Tetyukhin hits the line into touch, 10:7. Our reception sags again - and we get extra games from Chervyakov, Lyuburich, Hutsaluk, 11:11. Игра на балансе длилась недолго, Костыленко не справляется с атакой при идеальной доводке – Тетюхин забивает аварийный мяч. Тут же проходит скидка Любурича, а после тайм-аута Гуцалюк ювелирно укладывает мяч с подачи в линию, 13:16. Сургутяне предпринимают еще одну попытку спасти матч – у Галимова прорезается подача и Тетюхин на отведенном мяче бьет в блок, Довгань дошел в край сетки и закрыл Любурича, 19:19…
Но у Воропаева проходит подача через трос, 19:21, Плужников подает в аут, 20:22, и тут же Рукавишников, saving the outgoing ball, играет его на стороне соперника, 20:23. Завершился матч двумя ошибками Музая – подачей в сетку и ударом в блок, 21:25.
Проиграли белгородцам в двух базовых элементах: on the pitch (it was much less aggressive), и в приеме – качество доводки позволяло «Белогорью» выстраивать атакующие действия в куда более комфортных условиях. Иногда ход игры меняет блок или реализация атак на сложных мячах – но и тут мы не блеснули. Ставка на Музая сработала бы, если бы его активность поддержали остальные, but alas. Старт в чемпионате выдался традиционным, we will see, каким будет продолжение.
