Russia - Superliga 2009/2010

  • I mentioned before the start of the season that the money spent in Novosibirsk made the team one of the most competitive in the Russian Superleague. Yesterday they achieved their greatest success as a club finishing second for the Russian Cup after losing the final game in 5 sets. On the way to the silver they overcame Fakel 3-0 and Dinamo Moscow 3-0, so I think they fully deserve their place in the final. With the current squad Lokomotiv Novosibirsk can surprise a lot of teams in the play-offs, the improvement of this team is obvious compared to 3 years ago, when they were just an anonymous part of the Russian championship, I emphasized on the good transfer policy they showed during the summer, I hope that both Lokomotiv-s (Belgorod and Novosibirsk) will be a factor in the final stage of the Superleague :)

    Lokomotiv-Belogorie - Zenit 24.01.2010

  • Izumrud must buy new Russian players to support Alexiev- two games before he scored 21 pts with 80% in attack and still they lost 0:3. Now only 65% in attack and 17 pts and again loss. The other guys in attack don't seam to be ready to play that level of men's volleyball :serve:

  • Lokomotiv Belogorie vs Zenit Kazan 3:2
    I'm very glad that LB defeated Kazan :) I'm also very happy because our middle blocker- Łukasz Kadziewicz played really well...again! ;) He scored 14 points(8 blocks! :D 6 attack- 86 % efficiency :) ).
    Great job Łukasz, great job LB!

  • Yes, I was impressed too. I wonder why he was not in the Polish NT this year :what:

  • Yes, I was impressed too. I wonder why he was not in the Polish NT this year :what:

    Because he's not a favourite of our coach. For me(and other fans for sure too) Łukasz and Pliński are the best polish middle blockers. It's really big pity that he wasn't in NT this year :( He played just couple of matches in WL.
    Castellani said that he'll watch Kadziewicz. We'll see what's gonna happen.

  • There's no any news about superstars match this week, at saturday...? There was some voting on one rusian sport site,but now I can't find any further informations...I'm still hoping that I will watch it online ...It should be interesting.... :)

  • Kournetas changed totally the play of Belogorie.Belogorie won 2 derby against Dynamo moscow and Zenit Kazan.It would be nice to see other Greek players to play in several Championships.Until now nobody tried it because the contracts here in Greece are very high and they wouldn't prefere to live in places where the temperatures are so LOW and the life there is so boring...

    i didn't understand... :huh:
    you mean that foreign players don't want to come to Greece because life is boring and temperature so high, or the contrary, that greek players don't want to play outside Greece for the same reasons?
