Two victories by volleyball Academy-Kazan completed the seventh round of the Russian Premier League A. Home games against Volzhanin from Kostroma were held last weekend in the Burevestnik Sports Complex.
The West Zone runners-up started both away games deliberately. With goal after goal, it looked as though the academy players would not be able to take home points this time. On the first day the visitors won the first game 25:20, in the second game they started the game with the score 25:23.
Meanwhile, the varsity team managed to surprise, rebuild their games and win both games. On the first day Maksim Maksimov's wards finished the next games 25:22, 25:21, 25:22. The second game was 25:23, 25:18, 25:20. And winning 3:1 in each of the two days.
According to Maksim Maksimov, head coach of VK Academia-Kazan, the guests surprised at the beginning of each of the two games. "They managed to block our first pace. At the same time they defended well and won deservedly. So later on we switched our attention to their centre-backs and moved our attack to the edges. It was effective," said the academy coach. - On the second day, we were quite aggressive in terms of serving. We made a lot of mistakes on both sides, but it was important that our players on the outside scored more. Finally our diagonal Krasilnikov played great in the third and fourth games, scored many important goals. All in all, the guys did a great job.
