Mutual exam
On Sunday, 25 October, Gazprom-Yugra will examine young people from the Novy Urengoy Fakel at its site. In fact, this is an exam for the owners too: after a sensational victory over Lokomotiv Novosibirsk there is still only one left, but a very important question.
Arithmetic seems to say, that Gazprom-Yugra is a clear favorite in this match. Judge for yourself: Lokomotiv beat Fakel, we beat Lokomotiv. Besides, Novy Urengoy are still the only ones in the league, whoever scored a single point in two rounds - after Loko there was a dry defeat in Ufa. But what do such primitive arrangements lead to?, we saw in the same game with Novosibirsk, where the guests relied on them.
Arithmetic doesn't work in the Super League, higher mathematics works with a lot of input data. Almost everything is taken into account, even then, which is impossible to take into account. And there is only one question for our team after the great game with Lokomotiv: will players be able to save the game level shown??
I'm sure, that the mood for “Torch” will be no less serious, than at Loko. Neighbors, gas derby, and the awareness of that, that "Fakel" are boys, but not for beating, must be present. There's another point here. It is equally important not to “burn out” in this seriousness before the game, find a balance of self-confidence, concentration and psychological relaxation. hope, that there will be a balance - that means, there will be a game.
the, that we have the tools, was proven earlier in the tour. Possibly, probably, some adjustments will need to be made, shift the emphasis in the game a little, surprise with something. After all, “Fakel” watched our game with “Loko” and probably drew conclusions. But at the same time, do not forget about the first law of mechanics: don't break it, what works.
All this is the work of the coaching staff, as well as a detailed analysis of the opponent. It is interesting for us to record, that “Fakel” in its current composition is the youngest team in the Super League, almost entirely composed of its own students. In it we will also see the diagonal Pavel Yurinsky, who played several matches for Surgut last season as a pass-through application with the farm club, red head and the game of Yegor Kazbanov, Kazan student Vladislav Enin, thundered at the end of last season for Ural, St. Petersburg resident Vasily Tarasenko, who played for Gazprom-Yugra. Everyone else, if I'm not mistaken, their, from youth students of different years of graduation: Korney Enns, Ilya Ivanov, Matvey Pipunyrov, Andrey Kvochko, Dmitry Kazarinov, Mikhail Sidorenko, etc.. Even Nikita Krot, although I’m not young anymore and have had time to play a lot, comes from the same sandbox.
Games with the Torch are always (Well, nearly) intrigue and always tension. Let's at least remember, that the last time we played with them was at the Premier Arena 2 February this year, led in batches 2:0, but lost in the end 2:3. Yes, then the opponent had Maa, Romano and Kapranov, but we have changed noticeably. So if we really need to rehabilitate ourselves, then until the end, including for this defeat.
