Roosters - Steelers 30.07.2021

Kuopio Steelers otti märällä Velodromilla voiton Helsinki Roostersista tiukan taistelun jälkeen lukemin 32-35 (18-14). Ottelun ratkaisua saatiin odottaa viimeisille sekunneille saakka, mutta perusta kuopiolaisten voitolle rakentui onnistuneiden lisäpisteiden tuomaan kolmen pisteen eroon.

Märällä Velodromin betonilla pelatussa ottelussa joukkueet hakivat aluksi tuntumaa toisiinsa, mutta pelin edetessä käsikirjoitus alkoi paljastua katsomoon. Steelersin huikea keskushyökkääjä LeAnthony Reasnover hallitsi märän kentän juoksupelin tehokkaammin kuin punapaitaiset virkaveljensä ja keräsi juoksuillaan olosuhteisiin nähden erinomaiset 198 jaardia ja kaksi tochdownia. Roostersin Miro Kadmiry oli ilmatilan valtias 319 heittojaardillaan.

Reasnoverille 386 all purpose jaardia

Kuopio Steelersin voiton takuumies ei jäänyt perjantaina epäselväksi. Keskushyökkääjä Reasnover keräsi pelissä lähes 200 juoksujaardia ja 122 jaardia kiinniotoillaan. Lisäsi potkujen palautuksista miehen tilille kertyi 70 lisäjaardia. Reasnoverin kolmen touchdownin lisäksi maalien makuun pääsi tukimies Maurice Wright Jr, jonka lyhyillä parin jaardin juoksupeleillä otettiin kaksi varmaa touchdownia lähietäisyydeltä. Maalien lisäksi Wright oli joukkueensa tehokkain taklaaja 8 suorituksellaan.

Ottelun ratkaisijaksi voidaan yhdysvaltalaisten touchdownien tekijöiden sijasta nimittää takapuolustaja ja joukkueensa potkaisija Markus Ojainväli. Hyvän linjasuojan turvin Ojainväli monotti maalihaarukasta lävitse kaikki viisi yritystään ja oli näillä suorituksillaan se erottava tekijä, jolla 5-5 lukemiin päättynyt maalintekokilpailu saatiin ratkaistua. Ojainväli oli potkujensa ohella joukkueensa 5. tehokkain taklaaja. Ottelun jälkeisissä haastattelussa mies oli syystäkin tyytyväinen joukkueensa suorituksiin.

Roosters ei saanut juoksupeliä toimimaan

Kotijoukkue Roosters lähti peliin toistaiseksi kauden parhaalla rosterillaan ja kantoi harteillaan ennakkosuosikin viittaa. Hieman yllättäen kotijoukkueen vahva keskushyökkääjäkaksikko Karri Pajarinen ja Andrecus Lindley eivät saaneet perjantai-illassa kuitenkaan juoksupeliään totutulle tasolle. Pajariselle kirjattiin ottelussa ainoastaan 3 nettojaardia ja Lindleynkin juoksujaardit jäivät lukemiin 84. Roostersin hyökkäyslinja oli perjantaina se osa-alue, jossa rosterin syvyys ei ollut parhaalla tasolla ja oma kunnia alle sataan jääneistä juoksujaardeista voidaan antaa Steelersin kovalle puolustuksen etulinjalle.

Pelinrakentaja Kadmiry kuljetti palloa eteenpäin heittäen ja perjantaina eniten koppeja nappasivat Rashad Still ja maajoukkueleirille juuri valittu Micky Kyei. Roosters on aiemmissa peleissä käyttänyt heittojen vastaanottajina laajaa miesvalikoimaa, mutta perjantaina Kyein ja Stillin lisäksi tilastoihin pääsi ainoastaan Johannes Jauhiainen sekä keskushyökkääjä Lindley. kaikki Roostersin maalit syntyivät heittopeleillä (Still 3, Kyei 2)

Roostersin puolustuksen ahnein taklaaja oli Niko Kuikka 8,5 suorituksellaan. Vaahteraliigassa debytoinut ruotsalaislinjamies Filip Jönsson onnistui taklauksissa 5 kertaa joista 2,5 aloituslinja takana.

Perjantaina 30.7. pelataan Käpylän Velodromilla Vaahteraliigan kärkipaikasta. Voittamattomina läpi kauden edenneet Helsinki Roosters ja Kuopio Steelers ottavat mittaa toisistaan kauden ainoassa runkosarjakohtaamisessaan.

Hallitseva mestarijoukkue Steelers on pelannut vakuuttavaa jenkkifutista eikä ole joutunut aiemmissa peleissään ottamaan käyttöön kaikkia pelikirjasta löytyviä herkkujaan. Pelaavan kokoonpanon runko on säilynyt suurelta osain vakiona, eikä uusia pelaajia ole lisätty rosteriin toistaiseksi. Viisi voittoa viidestä pelistä kertoo paletin olevan kohdallaan.

Helsinki Roostersin kokoonpano on vaihdellut kuopiolaisia enemmän kauden aikana. Neljä voittoa neljästä pelistä on nostanut joukkueen sarjan kakkospaikalle, mutta suoritusten taso yksittäisten pelien sisällä ei ole toistaiseksi ollut tasaista. Helsinkiläiset olivat lepovuorossa edellisellä sarjakierroksella, joten perjantain kotiotteluun lähdetään levänneinä ja erityisesti vaikeaan vastustajaan keskittyneinä.

Perjantaina kentällä kohtaavat tämän hetken liigan kovimmat hyökkäykset ja puolustukset. Tilastollisesti molemmat joukkueet löytyvät sarjan kärjestä sarjataulukon lisäksi myös hyökkäys- ja puolustustilastoista.

Roosters peliin kauden parhaalla rosterilla

Kotijoukkue Roosters lähtee haastamaan kuopiolaiset kauden parhaalla rosterillaan. Rosteria on tankattu peli peliltä ja perjantaina tuoreiden vahvistusten sekä telakalta palanneiden pelaajien muodostama kokonaisuus on vakuuttava.

Näkyvin muodonmuutos tarjoillaan puolustuksen frontissa. Kun edellisessä pelissä puolustuksen linjassa pelasivat Julius Vuoksenturja, Lasse Kankaanpää, Jere Lahti ja Santtu Äyräväinen, tarjoillaan Steelers-hyökkäyksen kiusaksi avaavana kokoonpanona nyt Okko Outinen, Lauri Aho, Joonas Raatikainen ja debyyttinsä Vaahteraliigassa tekevä ruotsalaislinjamies Filip Jönsson. Kun tukimiehinä avaavat Roni Salonen sekä Akseli Vartiainen ja takakentällä siivoavat Viljo Lempinen, Akseli Olin, Arttu Pajarinen, Niko Kuikka ja Lorenzo Melchiore, on Steelers hyökkäykselle odotettavissa haastava iltapuhde.

Myös Miro Kadmiryn johtama hyökkäys lähtee hegemoniapeliin lähes parhaalla mahdollisella kokoonpanollaan. Roostersin edellisessä pelissä debytoinut yhdysvaltalainen Rashad Still osoitti olevansa kovatasoinen vahvistus Roostersin jo ennestään vahvaan laiturijoukkoon ja nyt kokoonpanoon palaa Alexander Wasiljeff. Steelersin takakenttä on napsinut peleissään toistaiseksi 10 syötönkatkoa, joten odotettavissa on erinomaisia match uppeja.

Steelersin juna etenee tasaisesti

Steelers on palannut vakuuttavan alkukauden, mutta lähtee perjantain otteluun hienoisena haastajana. Joukkueen juoksuhyökkäys on ollut vakuuttavaa LeAnthony Reasnoverin ja Tuukka Lehtosen johdolla, mutta Velodromilla vastaan asettuu mm. huikealla 8,5 taklauksen ottelukohtaisella keskiarvolla keskushyökkääjiä syövä Roni Salonen ja kokenut puolustuslinja.

Steelers-pelinrakentaja Joey Bradley on toistaiseksi saanut pelata tasokkaan hyökkäyslinjan takana rauhallista peliään ja osoittanut, että mikäli vastustaja keskittyy vain juoksun pysäyttämiseen, se osoittautuu kohtalokkaaksi. Kuopiolaiset saavat pelaavaan kokoonpanoon takaisin ranskalaislaituri Jeff Alexandren, joka kärsi pelikieltonsa edellisessä ottelussa.

Steelersin vaarallisimpana aseena pidetään sen linjoja. Perjantaina Velodromilla nähdään onnistuuko Roosters horjuttamaan kuopiolaisten dominanssia teoilla, joihin aiemmat Steelersin vastustajat eivät ole yltäneet.

Viime kaudella Roosters ja Steelers kohtasivat toisensa kertaalleen. Velodromilla pelatun ottelun vei nimiinsä Steelers lukemin 34-43. Vuosi sitten paikalle saapui komeat 700 henkeä seuraamaan titaanien taistelua. Tulevana perjantaina kiinnostuksen odotetaan olevan yhtä suurta. Ottelu on myös Roosters alumnin, Old Boys:ien homecoming ottelu, joten kotijoukkueelle on luvassa kovasti kannustusta.
