Bulgaria NT 2011

Yes, that is the info, but I think there is no letter, the federation is just so funny sometimes. I'm glad to see Yaneva and Filipova (the libero) back in the squad but i'm also sad to see young CSKA setter Kitipova out........ Debarlieva has born on the 1st of June this year!!!!!!!! However, good luck to Abondanza and the girls, not the young mothers!!!

Ofcourse Eva Yaneva hadn't sent any letter. This morons made her write something is any to have an excuse to bring her back!

Idiots, plain idiots!

At least we will see the girls back in the team. I also sory for Lora Kitipova.

Deburlieva gave birth to a child in June. How come she plays and be inform for so short period.???

Tania Sabkova has been invited to Bulgaria NT for European Olympics PRE Qualification tournament.She is playing OH and currently playing for Besiktas Istanbul.In last match against Eczacıbaşı VitrA she played with 23 points ( 15/32 %48 attack,6 blocks,2 aces) Probably after this performance Abondanza decided to invite her

-eva/ova is like -ic for Serbia XD

The national team of Bulgaria won the women preolympic qualification tournament in Baku, in the final by beating hosts Azerbaijan 3-2. Bulgaria won the right to participate in the European olympic qualifying tournament in Istanbul in 2012. How Bulgaria managed to win the tournament in Baku and twice beat Azerbaijan 3-2 in talks with Eva Yaneva to azerisport.com.

- Eva, only for a few days Bulgaria twice defeated Azerbaijan. Apparently the final victory was not accidental? - The victory that we won in the group stage give us greater confidence in our power. But we knew that the final is something different and to win it you need to play with full concentration. So we went on the field with many sports aggression and that charge brought us the victory.

- Don't you think that you won the final match because of your excellent block?- Compared with other matches in Baku in the final our block worked a little bit better. Furthermore Strashimira Filipova not only attacked excellent, but stopped well with her blocks attacks of our opponents. This happened because Azerbaijan's reception in the final was unstable, and Polina Rahimova did not play well in attack. As a whole we managed to neutralize strong sides of Azerbaijan.

- If Natalia Mamadova had played in this game, could the end of this game be different?- Undoubtedly, Natalia will enhance the game Azarbaijan's team, but now it makes no sense to talk about it. She wasn't on the court and we got to the success thanks to our strong team game in which each girl gave its optimum volleyball skills to reach the victory.

- It seems that your new coach Marcello Abbondanza has given a new life into your team?- He is a class specialist ! And not to mention that he took the team recently. It is obvious that our game is on a much higher level, it became better and more stable! I think we can be a surprise in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Istanbul in 2012, if we make serious preparation.

- Don't you think that Bulgaria created a small sensation by beating Azerbaijan in the final of the tournament in Baku?- I think everything came natural. Of course, the opponent is strong, but two our victories over Azerbaijan in this event show that we just have played better and fairly have won.

Marcello Abbondanza: "I must admit that was a crazy match. Maybe after the first game which we won convincingly 25:12, some of the players reassured a little. However, the team continued to follow the tactics, won the third game, and in the tiebreak showed more sports anger and more desire to win"

There is news about Dragan Baltic scandal in apasport.az According apasport.az it has proven that Baltic was not guilty in sex scandal. The person who sent the messages to Ruseva and Zarkova was a man called Georgi Vuchev. They suppose he is Mariya Filipova's boyfriend. (because she was out of NT)

Thanks for informing us, it's nice to hear that Baltic is innocent, but whatever lies behind all this still is bad

Random question, but does anyone know if it's possible to get the match shirts/kits of the Bulgarian womens NT? Doesn't have to be actual players' shirt, replica is fine… I'll be in Sofia/Borovets from end of next week… Cheers

Hm, I really have no idea, but here is the e-mail address of the Federation which they give for contact with them about such sort of things, so my advice is to ask them what you're interested in:

Cool, thanks!
