Bulgaria topping the charts in Pool B after the first half of the Qualifier in Hadera

Article

The Bulgarian Lions recorded a second victory as on Thursday they outclassed the team of Israel in three sets. This way, Bulgaria are topping the charts in Pool B after two matches played and two matches left. The fixture between Bulgaria and Israel was a close call in many occasions with the Israeli players taking the lead in the beginnings, and the Bulgarians coming back to turn things around. Eventually, team Bulgaria outperformed their opponents in all the components and emerged victorious taking the three points.

  • Bulgaria entered the court in the first set trying to find their rhythm. On the other hand, the Israeli led by Tamir Hershko made it difficult for the Lions’ defense. With the set unfolding, the Bulgarians started to improve their game and with 3 aces and better attack opened in their favour after a successful action by Aleks Grozdanov.

  • Same scenario happened in the next part with Israel taking the lead in the beginning. The contribution of Todor Skrimov on the serving line was the turning point inspiring Bulgaria to show their best and improve also on block.

  • Both Bulgaria and Israel were fighting hard in the third set. Yet again, the players around Silvano Prandi were more successful in the decisive moments and grabbed the victory.

  • Bulgaria’s captain, Tsvetan Sokolov became again top scorer for his team putting 15 points to his name. Martin Atanasov and Todor Skrimov contributed with 14 and 13 respectively for the win of the Lions.

On Friday, Bulgaria have a rest day, while Israel will meet Austria for the start of the second half of the qualification tournament.

"Today, we played another "medium-good" match. I am happy with the result, of course, because 3-0 is always our target. Maybe we lacked some concentration in the match vs Israel but we reacted on time. We recovered from negative situation and got back on our feet. Now, we will prepare for the match against Austria on Saturday, that, in my opinion, will be decisive for the final result of this Qualifier", Silvano Prandi, head coach of Bulgaria stated.
