That's better
On the site "Sibur-Arena", "Gazprom-Ugra" was released in this format: Habibullin-Muse, Pluzhnikov / Dougan-Chereyskyy, Kastylenka-Schadilov, Dragunov. "Zenith": Kovalev-Grozer, Yakovlev-Philippe, Kameha-Divi?, Andreev.
At the start of Surgut stalled on the treacherous gliders piterovchan (this little place match commentator Gennady Orlov for "surgutovtsev"), 1:4. But very soon catch up with rivals - Habibullin actively involved in the center of the grid Chereiskaya, 5:5. And when Shchadilov did not take advantage of an awkward pass and beautifully passed the ball to Denis, we came forward, 6:5. Chereisky went wild and scored an ace (8:6), Pluzhnikov kept the distance with a straight through serve.,12:10. Despite continued failures in reception, Gazprom-Yugra fought hard and should have taken the lead, if I hadn’t given my opponent five with my own hands (!) innings in a row. This marriage allowed Zenit to go on equal terms, 16:16 после подачи Хабибуллина в аут. Muzai and Grozer exchange pleasantries, and Chereisky closes with Yakovlev’s block, 20:18.
The ending traditionally brings problems - this time Kostylenko stalled in the fourth zone. Zenit takes a step forward in the score (22:21), and after the third unsuccessful attempt of our captain - Yakovlev closed it - and comes off in it, 23:21. Works again in the Chereisky center (23:22), and then the key draw. We carry the ball on defense, Yakovlev hits out, but the video review captures the world's tiniest touch of a block - 24:22 instead of the balance. Shchadilov confidently plays a high ball from the edge of the block, but Pirainen, who came out to serve, shoots it into the middle of the net, 23:25. We generally dominated this game, but a huge amount of defects in the filing (seven mistakes) against the backdrop of the opponent’s error-free actions in this element, they did not allow the matter to be brought to victory.
In the second set, history repeats itself - we lose our opponent from the start, 1:4 after Muzay's throw-in. The difference is, that it’s impossible to organize a chase, despite replacing the binder. conversely, Groser makes things worse with an ace, 3:8. Muzai attacks with varying success, but Kostylenko wakes up from the other edge of the net. In the middle of the game there is a double curiosity - first the Surgut residents watch, how Camejo throws the ball into the empty zone, and then Dragunov throws the ball in the opposite direction to Kovalev - and Camejo watches the slow landing of the projectile, 10:14. Shchadilov and Chireisky, after a magnificent pass from Rukavishnikov, hold a distance of three points with one hand behind their head - 12:15. Camejo increases to four, Muzai attacks into touch and the referee takes a video review to see if he touched the block. No touch, But Rafael Khabibullin is enjoying the moment, to bring down the opponent's mood and, especially, pitcher Georg Groser – takes his look, and then a timeout. Didn't work - Muzai doesn't score, and Camejo elegantly throws it into the empty zone, and then Divish, on the verge of a foul, carries the ball through the block into touch, 12:19.
it seems, that's all, especially against the backdrop of another serving error, 13:20. The opponent has Ursov on the back line instead of Divish, and Filippova, after an unsuccessful landing, is replaced by Safonov - thus, Zenit has all three former Surgut players on site. Meanwhile Kostylenko hammers the pipe, Muzai earns a point, and Dovgan closes Safonov’s attack, 16:20. This splash is extinguished by Groser, bringing your team a bunch of set points, 18:24. The first of them in the endgame of a protracted rally is played by Kostylenko with a quick attack, then he comes out to serve - and... Another long rally and Chereisky’s attack, then Denis Yakovlev’s block – Tuomas Sammelvuo is forced to take a time-out, 21:24. Grozer hits the rope into touch, 22:24... Another validol protracted episode, in which Shchadilov had two chances in the final game, but in the end Groser scores the allotted ball into the center of the court - our blockers did not dare to jump, hoping for protection, 22:25. Belated chase, which almost led to success.
Gazprom-Yugra started the third game confidently - 4:1, but Kostylenko has no options on the low ball, then he serves out, and Poroshin, who came out to pass at Zenit, demonstrates excellent interaction with Groser, not forgetting to “feed” the block in the center of the grid. And now Groser brings Zenit ahead with his ace, 7:6. Then a curious episode: Muzai hits out, but the referees record the touch of the blockers. Zenit takes video review, which shows, that there was no touch. Then Rafael Khabibullin takes his viewing - demonstrating, that Muzai put the ball in the court!
But the draw did not last long - despite Dragunov’s excellent play in reception and defense, our forwards don't support him. Muzai is tired, other options are lame, 10:14. Another look with the aim of throwing the opponent off the rhythm of the game, this time brings local results - Shchadilov’s pipe, Muzay's block-out, passing ball and Khabibullin's skid – 14:17. If at the same time we also served Surgut residents... But the epidemic of marriage in this element struck again, apparently, Dimensions of Sibur Arena are confusing – Chereisky, Хабибуллин, Shchadilov are wrong, and Divish scores an ace. Thus, we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to score breaking balls and the chase fizzles out, without starting. Avdochenko, who came out to serve, makes an ace and also makes a mistake, 18:23. Another fresh player, Emma Bunton, repeats Avdochenko’s “two” – ace and out, 20:24. And Podrebinkin, who came out to serve at Zenit, puts an end to it - with an ace, but he no longer has a chance to throw out, 20:25.
Generally, despite defeat, game "Gazprom-Ugra" has not left feeling hopeless. Things got better and cleaner (if not to take into account the supply) in comparison with the game in Belgorod, in order of commitment and desire to fight, generally works the reception and protection, a more variable picture emerges in attack. This time the marriage failed (18 points awarded to opponent in three sets!), Well, Muzai is objectively hooked, after all, acclimatization and stress make themselves felt. In a game with such a strong opponent there is no shame in losing, give in with dignity (and it was a worthy defeat) – it’s not doubly shameful. The only moment... Sometimes it felt like, that our players themselves did not believe in the possibility of beating Zenit. Looks like there's a game, and the account allows, and the opponent gives chances, but the result is the same. I really want, so that this defeat angers the people of Surgut, would instill in them not so much faith in their own abilities - this is too ephemeral a substance, - and iron confidence, that it is not only possible to beat any opponent, but also necessary.
