Bulgaria - Russia (SET1)

I can't wait for Valio's comeback. He is very stable in reception and this season in Italy he'll be able to play and show what he is capable of. Of course I too miss Salparov greatly, let's hope he'll be fixed and ready to join our boys soon.

I can't wait Salparov's comeback too:)

Yes,like we saw our missing players could be very useful for us on this championship.Salparov in reception and spirit,Nikolay Nikolov in atack(and serve),because Todorov was having some problems with the powerful atacks(I don't know why) and Bratoev to replace the big dissapointmend of our team Aleksiev... Let's hope that everybody will be fit for the next competition . :)

Yeah, guys, I hope our missing players return as soon as possible to the team. Apparently we need them greatly. Then we will be unstoppable.

It depends from Rado's - tactic how often our players will form triple block

Salparov is the key - his defense,but mostly his spirit(I miss him on top of Kaziyski so much,LOL :D Niki Nikolov will most likely take Cvetanov's spot and with hopefully more experienced TT,our block will be stronger than ever :)

If Sokolov, Bratoev and Todorov gain experience and Salparov returns in top shape, we will have entirely new team, ready for the challenges and stronger mentally :)

You're right - he really was in great shape this tournament and unfortunately,as you said was not enough.So let's hope he won't be "alone" next time :)

Better? He received better than most liberos at the final round of the World League AND on ECH2001, most serves were pointed at him and still he could manage to do both receiving and attack on highest level. This was one of the strongest tournaments for him, but he was not enough

Yeah,I noticed on all the statistics that his reception has gotten better during this championship :D

Kaziyski with 80% reception with half of the serves hitting him

The game is the same for the other three sets, just Russian players stopped making errors

Yeah,hanes, Kasiyski was unbelievable!

Can I see the pdf report of the match please;)

What a game from Kaziyski, he was unstoppable:o

I guess it's no good apploading the other three......:(

Haha :D

Only the first set,ha? :D
