#volleyball #volley
Taking into account the success on January 22, Zenit put together a winning streak of four matches, improved their mood and position in the standings. Next, Viktor Sidelnikov's team, which managed to restore the squad after another series of injuries, will face a real test of consistency - a series of games with rivals from the first half of the standings.
As for the game that took place on Monday, it was not easy for the hosts: it was enough that Peter started the match with a score of 1-7, which led to a timeout. Moreover, in the development of the game, this advantage even increased – 8:16. Zenit experienced serious problems with the reception of the Renter's glider, and the guests defended themselves decently and successfully realized their chances in the final game. The hosts still managed to present serious counterarguments in this set. The chase took place with Igor Kobzar on the site, who replaced Pavel Zheleznyakov. Thus, it was not the first time that Viktor Sidelnikov used the 4-2 scheme at the moment and again not without success. Zenit overtook the opponent with the score at 22:22, and on the set Ananyev and Kovalev put an excellent double block in the fourth zone of Nova - 25:23.
Zheleznyakov's presence on the court in the second game did not last long either: after his mistake in the attack (0:3) Tikhonov came out diagonally. It didn't get any better, Zenit had to get out again after a difficult start – 2:7. However, the hosts were able to solve the problems in this case much faster. Then, with a completely equal middle of the set, Peter took the ending as confidently as possible: 21:18 after Ace Voronkov. Fedor was then able to execute a series of serves, made another ace, and Zenit simultaneously realized itself on the block – 24:18. This turned the latest practical jokes into a formality.
The final game was the only segment of the match with an equal tie (6:6). After that, Peter immediately went ahead (10:6), without further doubt that the game would end in three sets. The ending was notable for the fact that Viktor Sidelnikov replaced Kovalev, giving Kobzar another chance to play. Thus, the good Zenit tradition was observed: both team binders were not left without a fairly solid practice.
The most productive player in St. Petersburg was captain Ivan Yakovlev, about whom, in addition to his actual statistics (15 points), it is worth saying that in this match he switched to a permanent glider for the first time in a long time. Let's see how long it takes.
