Story. Zenit for the fourth time went to the Champions League final. Prior to this, Kazan people both times won Lodz, where they beat the Pyachenets (2008) and “Skoil” (2012), respectively. But in 2011, in Bolsano, the team of Vladimir Alekno lost to the Italian “Trentino”.
Starting compositions. The head coach of the “Resovia” Andrzej Koval did not change the victorious composition, but Vladimir Alekno made two replacements: instead of Said Maruf, Igor Kobzar was based, and Eugene Sivozhelez was a couple of a do -it -player with Wilfredo Leon.
1st set. The Kazan Kubinets begins the match with Ace, Maxim Mikhailov is the same - 4: 3. A lot said that Zenit has a great presentation, and Resovia has far from the most impeccable technique. The debut of the game confirms this. Nikolai Apalikov is at a standstill of the Poles with a shortened feed - 9: 5. Kobzar is trying to diversify the attack, but Maxim Mikhailov intercedes the line, and Evgeny Sivozheleza beats out. The Serbian legionnaire of Resovia Marco Ivovich aims Leon, who is forced to simply knock over himself with power. As a result, in one arrangement, Kazan people lose 5 goals in a row and on the board 13:16. Instead of sivogels, Anderson appears. Zenit is played out thanks to Ais Kobzar and the Mikhailov Blok, who closes Johan Chops - 18:18. In the end, Leon, who effectively pounds the balls from the back line, and Ace Mikhailova, shoots all questions - 24:21.
2nd set. Peter Novakovski closes with a block of Leon and Anderson, raising the mood of three and a half thousand RESovia fans. Nikolai Penchev beats through the Kazan block, but they don’t allow you to do this. The leader of the Poles rests on the hands of Mikhailov. Leon again bombing the rivals' site with feeds and the advantage of Zenit becomes large - 12: 7. Time auto and replacements allow Koval to reanimate the game of his team. Schops catches his wave, the block begins to cling to Kazan attacks more often, a crazy game in defense is demonstrated by Libero Kshyshtof Ignashchak. After Ashchev’s mistake, “Resovia” overtakes the Russian team (19:19), but Leon Ace mines the most important point - 21:19. In the end, Anderson is good, and then Apalikov blocks Lotman Paul - 25:23! "Zenith" in one set from Eurotrium.
The 3rd set begins discouraging-2: 6. Instead of Kobzar, Maruf comes out and he manages to stabilize the attack of the Kazan team. Unrestraint Mikhailov, Leon again stamps Aisa and Zenit catch up with Poles - 12:12. In the nervous ending, the Zenit attack is much more variable: Anderson, Apalikov, Leon, Mikhailov - no one is mistaken. The Kubinsky legionnaire "Zenit" again kills the rivals with the presentation - 22:19. Anderson mines the 24th and 25th points for the Kazan team-Victory !!! Kazan Zenit is the strongest club of Russia and Europe.
