The long-awaited playoff playing
The long-awaited moment of the playoffs came, in which we will fight with Dynamo Lo from a pine boron for the right to get to the quarterfinals of the Russian Championship in the PARI Super League. Confrontation format: the first game 11 Marta in Surgut, Response 15 Marta in Sosnovy Bor. With the equality of victories and glasses of the winner, it will reveal a “golden” set.
Games with Dynamo Lo recently given to us not easy: this season, both matches in the regular part of the championship were lost. Which is not surprising: Sosnovy Bor club is ambitious and staffed to match its ambitions. I already wrote once, what's in Dynamo-LO, perhaps, the most even selection of finishers in the Super League, where everyone can go out and solve the problem. Probably, Without fail, we will see Cuban Osniel Melgarejo, who is having a great first season in Russia, on the court, there is an excellent rotation between the team captain, the most experienced Denis Biryukov, and one of the best finishing players in the country, Fedor Voronkov. Denis Schenkel spent a little time behind the backs of such masters, but he is also capable of a lot.
Both setters – and Konstantin Tyushkevich, and Maximiliano Cavanna – love and know how to play fast. Cavanna has a slightly better combination game, but Tyushkevich looks more powerful on the block and has a powerful serve. There is also an even rebound from Artem Dovgan in the center of the net, Dmitry Kolenkovsky, Vladimir Semshchikov and Ilya Borilo, don't even know, Which of them will head coach Alexander Klimkin prefer to start?.
Approximately the same picture in the diagonal - and well known to Surgut residents for the season, held in Surgut, Belarusian Pavel Avdochenko, and Nizhnevartovsk volleyball graduate Nazar Litvinenko have approximately equal chances of appearing on the court. Experienced Vladimir Shishkin dominates the back line, but Artem Barabash is also capable of providing quality.
Dynamo-LO's ambitions – join the ranks of the country's top clubs. So far the team has not been able to confirm this with stable results, but there are individual glimpses in the form of a victory over the same “Belogorye”. Among the so-called middle peasants of the Super League, the Sosnovoborsk team deservedly leads.
It’s an honor to play with such Dynamo-LO in qualifying, and challenge. And the opportunity to prove first of all to ourselves, that there are no obstacles, which cannot be overcome. For Gazprom-Yugra to win, it is necessary not only to be the best version of yourself, but also show a real passion for victory, give your all and invest in every play, regardless of the score on the scoreboard. It will be incredibly difficult to win, but it's possible. In Surgut, the team vitally needs fan support, who can traditionally become the seventh player on the court, charge the team with emotions and lead them forward. We are waiting for everyone at, perhaps, the most important match of the season in Surgut 11 February, beginning in 19 hours.
