The coach of volleyball “Levski” Nikolay Zhelyazkov announced that winning the trophy in the tournament for the Bulgarian Cup, won after 3:1 in the final against “Montana”, was the most difficult. The Blues are also champions and winners of the Super Cup.
“This was the hardest cup for us to win. The public doesn’t know about all the problems we had inside the team. But I’ve said it many times – we are an excellent team and we manage to mobilize for the big games.
“In the second game, we didn’t manage. In the third, after the entry of Skrimov and Gharkov, we stabilized the reception, from where the game was organized for the whole team,” said Zhelyazkov
“Levski” distributor Stoil Palev was chosen as the most valuable player in the tournament.
“First of all, I want to thank everyone who supported us in the gym. I also want to thank the coaches, because without their instructions on how to counter the opponent, we would not have done almost anything. It was a very difficult match. In the first two games, it was very difficult, after that, maybe we came to our senses a little and started to play a little better on service-block-defense and from there – to pull in the result.
It was three rather difficult and suffering matches I would say, especially against “Deya” we managed to win a heart-breaking match in the tiebreak, thanks mainly to our team play and our team spirit. We didn’t get a single element of the game and with team spirit we won. I can’t say it’s that much of a relief now, as we still have a lot of meetings to go, but we’re certainly feeling pretty good and relaxed today.
We won’t have enough time to enjoy this cup. We all work very well in the team, we have a nice and valuable team, but the others always try to work against us. So, they are also progressing and it will be quite difficult in the second half of the season,” commented Palev.
