No tragedy

"Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut): Kirillov – Rudnev, Krsmanovich - Shevlyakov, Korotaev – Skvortsov, Nagaec

"Miners" (Soligorsk): Wrestling - Avdochenko, Fiel – Kozitsyn, Marchenko - Rich, Zborovsky/Kovalev

Surgutyans, having completed, in fact, task for the season, decided to devote the remaining matches of the championship to playing for young people for the future. Vadim Ozhiganov did not come to Sosnovy Bor, Rajab Shahbanmirzaev, Nikita Alekseev, Dmitry Krasikov, which, probably, we will no longer see Gazprom-Yugra as part of. But there are many YUKIOR players in the application.

In the first game we lost the serve-receive. Statistics do not seem to confirm the failure in admission, but a lot of our attacks took place on allocated balls. Aces Marchenko and Bogatko led to 4:9 already in debut, and there was nothing to cling to the account with - holding the food, For a long time, the Surgut team could not score at least one break point. Korotaeva's discount seemed to bring a bonus on her serve, 10:13, but Rudnev knocked on the block twice during a failed move, and woo a la – 10:16. We do not implement freeball, but we close Avdotchenko with a block, and then Korotaev gives an ace, 15:18. There are chances? Marchenko serves to get a freeball for his team, Richly good at implementation, 17:22. Masko comes out to strengthen the serve instead of Fiel and Kirillov runs into Shevlyakov, without reaching the ball, 18:24. Well, a beautiful final chord performed by Belarusians, when Marchenko showed an attack from the back line, threw Bogatko - and he scored, 18:25.

At the beginning of the second game we again saw Marchenko's ace, looking for Rudnev in the move and not allowing Nagaits to close the diagonal, 2:3. But this time we made it through: protracted pranks began, in which the block finally began to pay dividends, 5:3. Towards the middle, beauty was added to the length of the episodes: Krsmanovic plays defense and makes a pancake, good Nagatz, 11:10. Korotaev takes and scores with a pipe, Skvortsov knocks Bogatko out of the move, 13:11. Another long draw, in the overture of which we had the chance to go even further, but Rudnev runs into the block, 13:12.

Daniil Golovanov comes out to serve for Gazprom-Yugra 2007 year of birth - and serves well, but Avdochenko is withdrawing, 14:13. Towards the end we get lucky: Shevlyakov hits touch, but Shakhtar's blockers hit the net, and then Rudnev, with a powerful serve, gives Skvortsov a chance to score the passing ball, 19:16. at level 20:18 the back line is strengthened by Rodichev, but we lose a point on the opponent’s serve - Korotaev is caught and returned through Avdochenko, 20:19.

Korotaev corrects himself on the second attempt, and then the opponent makes two key mistakes: Kozitsyn and Bogatko shoot out, 23:19. Shakhtar releases Egorov and Safonov to save the set as part of a double substitution, but Rudnev fights back from the block, and Korotaev, on a set point, competently launches an emergency ball into the corner of the first zone, 25:20.

At the beginning of the third game, Skvortsov and Shevlyakov cover Marchenko at deuce, 2:0. Fiel equalizes the score with a single block to Shevlyakov, 3:3, and then we let the opponent go based on our mistakes: Rudnev hits out of bounds and into the antenna, Skvortsov - in block, 3:6. A series of mutual marriages began, from which Belarusians extracted more dividends: 6:11 after a beautiful attack by Marchenko in the style of Ngapet.

Korotaev with a serve into the net and an attack with a pipe into touch aggravates the situation, 7:13, and gives way to Slobodyanyuk on the site. Kirillov doesn’t shine either and the coaching staff is releasing another player 2007 the year of birth, setter Gordey Kochurov. After Gordey's serve into touch (12:20) it seemed, that a devastating bill cannot be avoided. But either the opponent relaxed, either we began to play more relaxed (probably, and that, and other) – the situation on the site began to gradually change. Shakhtar stalled at the mark 15:22, when Rudnev first finished off the ball, raised after his own attack, and then threw a cool series of three innings, which included two aces, 19:22. Another powerful serve from Vyacheslav almost hit the line, 19:23. The block closes Masko, who came out instead of Bogatko, and then the finisher kicks into touch, 21:23.

Skvortsov and Avdochenko exchanged serve errors, 22:24, after which Shakhtar's diagonal did not find the line in attack, 23:24. But Pavel doesn’t make mistakes twice in a row: after a timeout the pass is again addressed to him, winning back from a block brings the opponent victory with a minimal gap, 23:25.

We failed the beginning of the fourth game again: after 5:5 again stalled in the fourth zone Korotaev, what was reflected on the scoreboard (5:8) and led to another replacement of Ivan. And then Rudnev stepped on the three-meter line during the attack, 5:9. It was already difficult to get out from under these rubble, although Skvortsov did not give up in the same fourth zone (8:10, 9:11). But in an emergency situation he also did not beat the triple block, 10:14. Kozitsyn hits touch, but video viewing records a millimeter line hook, 12:16. Slobodyanuk from the "two" is out, Gazprom-Ugra time-out and words from Alexey Rudnev: "They're not the ones who win., and you lose".

Kirillov passes the allotted ball virtually past Shevlyakov, he barely catches the ball, which falls onto the Shakhtar site, 17:20. Immediately Rudnev knocks out a freeball with a serve, which Skvortsov implements from the second approach, 18:20. Dogonim? Another excellent serve from Rudnev and Kurash is forced to scoop the ball out of our airspace, 19:20. In the next play, Shakhtar's setter demonstrates extraordinary skill, leaving Marchenko alone with the ball and an empty net - unexpected even for the finisher himself. He wasn't confused, 19:21.

The next play was key: Kirillov brought Rudnev to a single block, but Vyacheslav failed to beat Bogatko. It's not even about the score, although we got 19:22 instead of workers 20:21. It's just when the diagonal doesn't score such goals, The tone of the team drops sharply. But life is still warm: Kirillov himself understands the grid, and Shevlyakov returns the favor to Fiel, 21:22. We catch Avdochenko with a block, but there is no one to pick up the rebound. Masko comes out to serve, Rodichev - welcome. Shakhtar's finisher fails to cope with his role, serves out, but also Shevlyakov, whose percentage of service errors should be close to zero, sends the ball into the net, giving the opponent a match point, 22:24. More today's classics: allotted reception, Slobodyanyuk wins back, and Bogatko attacks all the money, 22:25.

In general, there are no tournament regrets about this defeat, just as there won’t be any in all other matches. As for the game, then it’s uneven. Liked Skvortsov, confidence, removal height, thought. Kirillov alternated solutions, deserving of applause, with not the most outstanding gears. Korotaev started well, but then failed. Rudnev also played ambiguously – he served well, but I lost a lot in attack. Sometimes in difficult situations on low balls (and he needs time, to “pull out” your hand), sometimes from obviously advantageous positions. The centers were not impressive to say the least, although there were some good episodes, The Naga man was also unstable - he dragged in defense, then he disrupted the reception.

Generally, "Gazprom-Ugra", in fact, is being reassembled for the next season - at the end of the current one. Probably, that's not bad: to have a series of six games with great opponents. So there is no tragedy, there is cautious optimism and hope for the future.
