Results of the season in the championship: 12 victories in 30 regular season matches, 10-is a place, defeat in the qualifying round of the playoffs. This is the best result in recent years 6 years old: we finished 11th in 2021 and 2025, and three years in a row, from 2022 by 2024, were 12th. And never during this time did they qualify higher in the playoffs. Seems like success Read more »
While other clubs close the "equator" of a smooth championship, we have already played half of the matches. That is, some preliminary results can be drawn. Let's say right away: four wins - not the same result, which could satisfy the ambitions of Surgut. But ambition must be backed by resources, a certain margin of safety in the face of fierce competition in the Russian championship, but that's just what we don't Read more »
The Super League venues have cooled down a bit after the season and it's time to sum up the promised results. I just want to warn, that everything written is the personal vision of the author, not the coaching staff, so we immediately make allowances for unprofessionalism and do not take it for the opinion of the club. In the analysis of the game, I decided to resort to numbers - they, as known, may be very Read more »
so, all teams played each other (Well, nearly) - this is a good reason for preliminary results, which we all love so much. Let's make it short. 1. "Zenit-Kazan" embarked on the rails of the revival of greatness. The components of success are a point hit with Christenson and Volkov, plus Poor Nozh, who cheered up under the American and, of course, all this based on the eternal Mikhailov. Wherein Read more »
"Star of Yugra" did something, what she should have - took four home victories over not the strongest opponents, Zenit-UOR from Kazan and ASK-2 from Nizhny Novgorod. Difficulties happened in the first match, where the young people of Surgut were inferior to the Volzhans 1:2 by sets, but in the end the class still affected - if I may say so about the play of youth teams. Labor Read more »
18 and 19 January "Star of Yugra" held two principal meetings with neighbors from "University". Our neighborhood and geographical, and in the standings. And if Surgut and Nizhnevartovsk are unlikely to change places on the map, then in the table they could well - in the case of a double success of the Surgut. The first match created all the prerequisites for this, even dressed up Read more »
Many thanks to the coach of Kuzbass Francesco Oleni, which issued a 75-page document with a detailed analysis of the past national championship. That's all - and team performance, and individual, statistics and for individual items, and game situations. It will not be easy for a non-specialist to figure out a large amount of numbers. I'm not a specialist either, but tried to pull the most, on my humble Read more »
Today we publish the third, the final part of the interview with the head coach of Gazprom-Ugra Rafael Khabibullin. Finally stayed, as it seems to us, the most interesting questions - and equally interesting answers. About weight and motivation – In the volleyball world, everyone already knows, that you have a special approach to the weight of players, their nutrition. Tell us more? I will give you an interesting fact Read more »
Today we have the second “series” of conversation with the head coach of Gazprom-Ugra. Let's start with the interrupted championship, and then - how it goes ... About the interrupted flight and the quality of work – From the point of view of mid-April, the decision not to go to a game in Moscow to play with Dynamo looks absolutely logical ... But at that time, not everyone understood it. Read more »
Here is the result of two days of conversations with the head coach of Gazprom-Ugra. They talked a lot, frankly, about different things, the benefit of the current forced calm. Pity, that all that was said is simply impossible to squeeze into the framework of one publication, even if "serial". At first we wanted to make two "series", but they began to disassemble the material - at least three! Well Read more »
