The volleyball players of Kazan's "Zenit" crushed "Yaroslavich" at home.
Kazan's "Zenit" defeated one of the tournament's outsiders, "Yaroslavich," with a clean score in the match of the 19th round of the Russian championship at their home ground. The head coach of the Kazan team, Alexey Verbov, left the main setter Konstantin Abayev on the bench. Instead, Mikhail Vyshnikov set up the entire match, leading the team to a confident victory. The Kazan team realized 70% of their attacks by the end of the match. Zenit's attackers Maxim Mikhaylov, Mikhail Labinsky, and Andrey Surmachevsky each scored 13 points, with all of them having 7 break points. Mikhaylov had the best efficiency rating in the match (plus 12), while Labinsky had the highest attack efficiency (82%). "Vyshnikov's game pleased me. I'm glad he has finally returned to full form. With such quality of play, he will definitely get more playing time. The quality of our attack shows how charged the guys were, especially after 'Nova,' where there was a moment of underestimation," Verbov said after the match. Winning 18 out of 19 matches, "Zenit-Kazan" tops the tournament table of the Russian championship. "Yaroslavich" is in 14th place among 16 teams.
On January 23, the Kazan team will play away against Ufa's "Dynamo-Ural," while "Yaroslavich" will meet "Orenburg" on the road.
