    Congrats to both team and especially to Zenit St. Petersburg! It was a super tight match as it was expected (the betting odds were 1.83 for both teams). The final score was decided by details.

    Hope Zenit St. Petersburg can win the final against the team which has defeated them in almost every single match this season (if Im not wrong): Dinamo Moscow.

    Not almost, every match:)) 7:0 to Dynamo Moscow right now.

    Same lol I didn't watch Zenit's game against Moscow to have a good picture of the physical state of Poletaev. I think the chances are equal for both teams.

    I wish I did the same, that wasn t a good match for Zenit :)) The lack of passing is killing them, also it wasn t brizzard's night

    I was hoping that Fakel will take either Kovalev or Poroshin(whici one was free) so that they can take a foreign OH. I like Bogdan and all, but it s not there yet, or maybe a foreign OPP.Btw we forgot about Dinamo Moscow.Sokolov is coming in so either Zhigalov or number 20( I will not try to spell his name) will leave.Maybe Fakel can take one of them.But what will Kusbass do ? They lost their first 2 scoring options and a really solid middle.

    Really? Zenit SP is going to be the best club from the russian superleague.Btw any info about the setters that they are gonna have? They wanted Brizzard . If they will succeed in signing Brizzard , what setter would they keep? Kovalev or Poroshin?.


    I can t wait to see what fakel and kemerovo will do.Their rosters are a mess right now.


    Btw ,any info about Lokomotive future opposite player?I am guessing that s why they didn t want to renew with Dryzga.They are doing fine on the OH position.


    Honestly I can t for the next season.

    t seems kliuka , Volkov and Shoji will stay in fakel for at least one more season.Christian Padar left.


    -Poletaev is going to Zenit SP.

    -Yaroslav Podlesnykh to Dinamo Moscow ?

    -Verbov , is the new Coach of Kemerovo.

    -Fabian Dryzga left Novosibirsk.

    -Dmitry Pashitsky will not stay in Kemerovo as well.


    Some news on Sokolov?

    And why are Dmitry Volkov and Egor Kliuka so stubborn to stay in fakel? I am sure they have offers from othee big clubs with larger budgets like Zenit Kazan and Zenit StP.


    Any thoughts?

    Can they send the '95 generation to the Olympic games?I am joking but seriously ,what a golden generation they have from that year.

    OH:E.Kliuka,D.Volkov,F.Voronkov,K.Ursov

    Setter:P.Pankov,Poroshin

    OPP: V.Poletaev

    MB:I.Iakovlev,I.Vlasov

    lIBERO:E.Andreev,E.Baranov

    Btw earlier today, Lokomotiv beat Zenit SpB in the Semi-finals of CEV Cup in a very close match Lokomotiv won 3-1.

    Yeah, I saw a big part of the match.Zenit's new coach(Tuomas Sammelvuo) prefers Roman Poroshin over Dmitry Kovalev,you will think Kovalev is the better setter.Maybe he likes traditional setters more.The match was very close ,everytime this 2 teams meet is always a good time(3:2 win for Zenit in the regular season, 3:1 for Novosibirsk in the retur).But I feel that some decisions by kovalev in the 4th set lost the match.Setting to Iakovlev in a non-favorable position when the score was 18-16 for novosibirsk(spoiler:Iakovlev got blocked quite a lot by the opposite middles) and setting to Ursov when the score was 23-21(I believe,not sure) for novosibirsk.That frustrated Grozer quite a bit,who had a great game and for sure wanted to hit all those sets.

    Strong game by Savin(16 spikes,1block,2 aces) and the middles(Kurkaev 8 spikes,5 blocks and Dmitry Schcherbinin 9 spikes, 4 blocks). on the Zenit st.Petersburg side ,well, Grozer did good (22 attacks (54% Eficiency),2 blocks, 1 Ace) and Philippov( 8 atttack(80% efficiency),2 blocks) but the rest of the players had under 50% efficiency(not counting the setters).


    There are any upcoming matches that you are excited for?

    What is the format for final six?They will make 2 groups(3 teams each) then after one round robin the first 2 teams of every group would go to semis?In the semis will be 1A vs 2B and 1B vs 2A?I really don t know.Does someone know?
