Cucine Lube CIVITANOVA with big win in Super Match of the Week
Super Match of the Week was delivering a thrilling rallies from the early beginning. Although, the Italian powerhouse took 8-4 lead, Lokomotiv, sparked by their enthusiastic home crowd, quickly erased the gap (11-11) with solid work on block. Both sides were extremely focused to play their finest Volleyball, but in the decisive stage, Lokomotiv was dominant in all components and Konstantin Abaev impressed with his setting decisions. From 21-19, Lokomotiv marched to a set win which was sealed with ace from Drazen Luburic.
A fierce battle was continued in the second set, even if the host team jumped twice to a three-point lead, Lube quickly tied and point-by-point race was continued. Both teams struggled in reception (Lokomotiv only 25%, Lube 20%), but it didn't prevent them from battling hard until 23-23. Own mistakes (10 by Lokomotiv, 8 by Lube) made a difference, too long serve from Kurkaev gave the visiting team a first set point, and with winning serve from Yant (5 points in 2nd set) they closed the set.
The third part made it even more visible that in such tight game, the details are decisive factor. Although, Lokomotiv was dominant on attack (14-10), but too many service faults (8 errors on service line) cost them a lot, as they were chasing Lube during the entire set. Drazen Luburic (7 kills) and Gabriel Garcia Fernandez (6 kills) were exchanging hits over the net. De Cecco started to look for more technical solutions and it brought fruits, however - again - it was service ace to end the set, this time Simon made this feat.
The fourth set started as a rollercoaster. Lube took an early lead, but Lokomotiv didn't give up. They managed to tie at 14-14, but then again the visiting team ran away with score reaching five-point margin. The team under guidance of Plemen Konstantinov tried everything to come back to game, but it was too late and Simon - like in third set - sealed the deal with ace.
Gabriel Garcia Fernandez topped the scorers chart with 17 points (16 winning spikes and 1 block, 57% of success in attack) and received a well-deserved MVP award. Lokomotiv's leader Drazen Luburic scored 14 points.
Robertlandy Simon“We expected a very tough match as the opponent team needed points for their standing. We struggled to sleep last night, as we came from a long trip and arrived to Siberia with 6 hours jet lag. But we fought as a team and faced the game in the best possible way. Now we want to get the final first position, so we are exciting to play next week another great match against Zaksa”.

Luciano De Cecco"The game was really tough. We played a very good volleyball. I think Lokomotiv also performed well. We had some opportunities to make breaks and play our game, so we are really happy. The mentality and approach were very important in this game, maybe we didn't play the best Volleyball we have, but we hope that we will learn this lesson."

Ivan Zaytsev"A great victory for us, a very very important against a strong team of Novosibirsk. We are really proud of our performance and our guys. Now we will focus on our national championship and on our next game against Zaksa at home."
opposite of Cucine Lube Civitanova
Drazen Luburic"There were too many emotions today, in the second set we can say that we couldn't play with a cool head. I am disappointed particularly with my performance. If we could won the second set, the result could have been completely different. The opponent turned out to be stronger, the Italian champions - they showed their best. We hope that we will also be able to show our fans great game on Saturday, when we will meet Zaksa at home for the second time."
opposite of Lokomotiv Novosibirsk
Plamen KonstantinovThere was a great atmosphere at the arena, we are very happy to return home, but today we did not show the result we wanted. Undoubtedly, Civitanova consists of top-level players. But that's not the point. Today I really wanted to see the fighting spirit - in the second set, after an equal ending and a loss, I did not see it at all. We stopped fighting. I understand everything - fatigue, not all players have an ideal physical condition. The character could compensate it, we didn't manage to do it. The second set was the key one. We could have been in the end with an advantage. It was then that the initiative moved to the other side of the court.
