Highlights
Overview
The last match for Bulgaria in Pool A will be against the 2005 EuroVolley champions from Italy. Prandi's men may try and react after their tough loss to France yesterday, but Italy want to keep their clean sheet in EuroVolley 2019 before facing hosts France.
Tsvetan Sokolov"Tonight will be different, because yesterday we showed nothing. Today is a new day and a new challenge so I believe we will show better Volleyball than yesterday."

Ivan Zaytsev"It was a tough start for us, hard to face the energy of the Bulgarians who served and defended really well in the first set. But then we recovered and eventually won. Tomorrow, we'll play against France, a match we've been waiting for for a long time. They play really well at the moment but we'll try to mess them."

Teodor SALPAROV"We started very well the first few games, but against France and Italy we see where our team is right now. They we better than us. We have some rest days and then will play someone from Pool C so need to start to focus on this game"
