We are starting a series of home games
From the 25th round the finish of the regular season is already quite visible. And in this look you can see, that Gazprom-Yugra can complete all its current tasks - to stay in the playoff zone and climb as high as possible in it - in the next series of three home games. The first of them is with Kemerovo Kuzbass.
Once national champion and team, in which Ivan Zaitsev and Alan Souza played, This season I was faced with a new concept for myself - budget deficit. We've been playing this game for a long time, and Kemerovo residents are just getting used to it and are not very successful yet, ranking 14th with five wins. We have twice as many victories, which does not mean an easy walk on Sunday.
After a protracted series of defeats, Kuzbass perked up in the 21st round, walking along the edge in Nizhny Novgorod, but still beat the hosts in a tiebreaker. This victory liberated the team, after which the game, what is called, пошла – дома был побежден «Енисей», а в гостях, dry, «Ярославич». Как ни странно, потеря из-за травмы основного связующего Игоря Коваликова дала команде свежий импульс.
Nevertheless, экстренно был подписан новый связующий, Сергей Кузнецов из Казахстана, чья карьера проходила в основном на родине. И ему уже пришлось выйти на площадку в последнем матче, in which, in front of the home stands, the Kemerovo team lost to Dynamo-Ural by one wicket. Such defeats, especially after the emerging series of victories, serve as an excellent incentive to try to rehabilitate, so there's no doubt, in Surgut “Kuzbass” will try to give their all.
Our task is to prevent the opponent from getting too wild and show their best volleyball. We can do this in one “simple” way: pressure in all areas while minimizing your own defects. It happens to us, that we are trying to crush with supply - and we do according 7-8 mistakes per set. We are trying to diversify the attack - and again we are losing reliability. Need balance, which we seem to have found this year, but occasionally we fall out for him, creating problems for yourself.
Concentrated, but without clamp, the game is a universal recipe for victory. Sure, you need to remember the capabilities of Yegor Sidenko, about the presence of Fiel in the center of the grid, about that, that Kirill Ionov is capable of organizing holidays, about that, that each of the guests' finishers can catch a wave, whether Timofey Tikhonov, Ivan Piskarev, Ilya Morozov or Alexander Kochenov. G, of course, new factor, compared to the game in the first round, ligaments. To Kemerovo, recall, we are not without problems, but won in five games.
The match is going to be serious, and the support of the home stands should be the same. Kuzbass is used to strong home support, need to show it to Kemerovo residents, that in Surgut they can get sick just as bad. And once upon a time we were sick much better - it’s time to bring back those times.
