Revan, we have a lot to be proud: Hristo Zlatanov, Vladimir Nikolov, Teodor Salparov, Matey Kaziyski and Tsvetan Sokolov. In the past we had Dimiter Zlatanov, Lyubo Ganev, Dimo Tonev, Martin Stoev and a lot others, when Bulgaria teached volleyball to Italy. And Sokolov has scored in the NT since 19 years old, taking a lot of scalps. He has everything to be the best opposite /did you watch the match yesterday?/ if he decides so. What Ivan and all serbian players have in common is their confidence. If he has this confidence, he will have everything he wants.

Well, from the other side, Sokolov could be like Milijkovic and score all efficiently

I haven't noticed such thing, Kjeldhor. When Sokolov appears as sub in Trentino or Bulgarian NT he always scores very efficiently from the start. May be you mean as a starter he is not comfortable if not scoring all the time?

Matey is receiving more than Osmany this season, Revan, and his serve is doing more damage. I don't think eveybody hates him, or they would hate Zaytsev as well, they are very similar as behaviour. Juantorena is still a world class player, just his serve landed from impossible to fantastic and his reception from above average to average.

Sokolov is playing way better than Stokr so far, he scores more, he is more powerful /that means explosive/, his serve is faster, he plays half of the time on MB position and is still top scorer, Ngapeth and Wijsmans don't help that much in attack most of the time /although Wijsmans now is in great shape/, the MB's don't contribute that much in attack and he is still with better stats. Stokr has more stable serve and better defense. The question is can we judge them based on one season? I am not sure. Sokolov is still rising and Stokr is in his prime, and they are in different clubs with different tactics. And Stokr is more experienced in deciding games, although this season Sokolov was stable in all of them so far. Let's judge after the playoffs ?

May be Stokr is better than Sokolov but the latter is outplaying him this season. May be this will change in semifinal, since Stokr gathered a lot of experience in such matches with Trentino, we will see.

Danail Milushev on video, thanks, Vatreni :)

Sokolov will be first opposite in Trentino or he will stay in Cuneo. He should be a starter.

Will we see Nikola playing for Serbia in the World League?

Valentin Bratoev played good in both matches so far, I hope he will continue with the good impressions

Lazarov will take care this not to happen. Golden medals are not profitable for him

This video is 18+ It deserves more than 18 votes

If you noticed Tsvetan Sokolov plays with the same number in both Cuneo and Trentino

Wijsmans too played great, he spiked well and jumped really high on the net

haness, a lot of other teams had amazing squads - Piacenza with Marshall, Zlatanov, Cuneo with Wijsmans and Parodi, Zenit with Mikhaylov, Ball, Skra with Kurek and Wlazly but it was Trentino who got most of the titles

haness missed the irony sign :D

I'll tell you who is MVP in Trentino - Stoychev is. Players come and go but tropheys are won every year even when the federations are trying everything to stop that. The team is not wih the best players on every post but continues to surprise the opponents and to display high level of volleyball. Some players from that team are unrecognisable in their NT's. I know who should be pointed after almost every match but the only thing he gets is hatred, not recognition.

Osmany's middle name is MVP. The only way not to get it is not to appear on the court. It doesn't matter that now Kaziyski has the deciding serve or that he doesn't spike with 75% or that he receives worse than previous years. All that matters is that he is feared. The very look of him makes the opponents surrender.

Kaziyski scored 12 pts and the best player was Juric
