Brazil - Bulgaria (SET4)

Brazilian team is the best in the world,but when they see that they can't win with fair play,they started to hold up the game.In last two mathes between Bulgaria and Brazil in Varna,before every bulgarian serve,brazilian players call the kids or they check the formation,just to nervous our team.In first match that was more acceptable,because both of the teams,were not classified for the final round.But in secound match Brazil continue to play this way,even that they were already classified for the final round...They didn't show fear play,which is not normal for the best in the world... :( Italian players also didn't show fairr play...In secound match against Serbia,result was 0:2 for them,and after that they take out all titulars,and lost 3:2...:@

Unfortunately he didn't play against Brazil and this was the small difference, which kept us from being on final six in the World League. I hope we will have all players fit for the WCH and we can surprise anyone then, including Brazil, who played 4 finals against us, and they almost never loose finals :)

Yeah. He has potential, hitting the ball at the "4th floor" but I hope than him not be fully prepared for tomorrow ehehehe Just kiding

Ha ha insane jump :O! Todorov is an alien, no doubts!!! He can easily put his waist over the net, but what impresses me the most is the fact, that spikes like this (and higher) are not rare but ordinary for him. Also great block sense. I'm only afraid about his health. He's already had a break due to backache :/ Hope he's fully prepared for Brazil tomorrow.

What a hight !:o Holy sh*t XD impressive attack...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWt1zkpSlJk our friend Todorov ? look at him xD

Pois é Renan, lembrei do Tande... Como vou esquecer? A geração do Tande, Mauricio, Carlão, Negrão, Giovane fez com que eu me apaixonasse por volei, ainda criança... Em uma epoca em que nada, absolutamente nada no Brasil dava certo, nem na politica, nem na economia, muito menos no esporte, eles ganharam a primeira medalha de ouro olimpica em esportes coletivos. Fiquei um pouco chocada com o "velha guarda"... Mas isso também é uma questão de perspectiva... Tudo de bom para você!!!

Thanks Chrison! I haven´t seen that video before and it´s always good to remember of Tande playing... PS: great website, great videos, ok?

heaheha Rachel.. lembrou do Tande. velha guarda do Vôlei Brasileiro !!!

Nagor, you´re right, he suffers a lot, it´s kind of funny. The other guy in the broadcast who is making comments, is Tande (Alexandre Samuel) . I don´t know if you remember him, wing-spiker, olympic champion in Barcelona 1992.

Haha what a funny commentator xD

This guy is amazing! Todorov like Marshall :) btw. yeah rachel he looks like a big big big young boy ;) 208cm

Yeah, this guy, Todorov, will have MANY, MANY years to play for the National Team. !!!

I would like to say just one thing about the subject Dante/Giba: Dante has just come back from Russia, he was the last one to arrive, and last week he injured one finger during a training, nothing serious, and I do believe he will be on the team in no time, let´s remember that he can also play as opposite.He´s not 30 years old yet, so in my opinion , he´s still has some years in the national team. NightFox, how special is this guy, Todorov... over 380??? And it seams that he plays in the national team for a long time. I like this kind of personality on a player, he´s fearless , and he´s gonna go very far. Excelent work of CSKA on preparing new players...

He was born on 1st September 1989 so he's still 20 years old. He's gifted! Already watched him in CSKA and everytime he jumps so high I'm afraid something can happen to him ;s I think many clubs will fight for him.

Todorov is 19 years old and he is reaching over 380 :D . He played for CSKA Sofia , but i think that he will go in Seria A

Yeah thanks guys. I was just wondering what the reason was , I was thinking: perhaps they've retired, injured or excluded from the squad! haha

After the second game against Holland (3:1) Giba said: "I tried to be the best
example for young players. THAT'S MY ROLE. They are very strong mentally, and always carefully listen to me, Dante, Rodrigao and Sergio, who are the oldest players in the group. I am here to help them much as I can"...sow hanus you see now, and like renanZ said they have really good players to the same positions, and for me they deserve to play with old class players to learn more.

Yeah Hanus.. You must agree that, they are already "old" player. Their physical conditions aren't the same as before. Giba is playing often. (one game in, one game out) But can't they much about Dante. He is there, ready to get inside the court, but that is not necessary, although we have other excelent players to the same position

Can someone give me a breif run down of why Giba and Dante are reserves? Is it a transition period between generations?

i think both vissotto and kaziyski are tired because of tense club season last season todorov played for CSKA Sofia

The matches against Bulgaria were amazing... Both teams played very well... This guy, Todorov really really impressed me!! He´s got such a personality on court and he looks like a young boy, "baby face" , but his volleyball is impressive.Where does his guy play? ? The best brazilian player of both matches was Murilo, incredible leadership, confident and in great shape. I´m a little bit worried about Vissoto... He didn´t play very well

Todorov is the that young middle-blocker, right !??!?!

Like usually- the biggest problem is Zhekov. With such a potential Bulgaria has in attack just a good setter would be enough to win much more. T.Todorov can jump over the net :)

Awesome, BUt I think Kazinsky didn't played his best
