Not too long ago the Dutch national youth team beat Bulgaria and there was some mention of a certain number 17 that played for the Bulgarians, who apparently is huge and seems to be massively talented and people say he has a big future. Does anyone have some more info, or pictures and or videos of this guy? Is he some kind of new Matey Kaziyski? What positions does this fawker play anyway ?
Mysterious number 17 in Bulgarian youth team

Hi, the guy you are talking about is Tsvetan Sokolov, the captain of the bulgarian NT junior. He is 207 cm tall, date of birth 31.12.1989, 105 kg, block 335 cm, attack 353 cm. He plays on the position of spiker in his team Marek Union-Ivkoni (he is always in the starting 7), sometimes he plays opposite. He is very good in service and attack, but he has a lot to learn in reception. This year he is one of the leaders in his team and one of the best spikers in our championship. And he is in the list of this year World league participants (Bulgarian men NT).
He has a lot of potential and talent, I hope that he will be a very very good player in the future. But he still has a lot to learn.
He is actually on my avatar.Check the thread with the photos from the bulgarian championship in the Men Multimedia. And I will try to find some more photos later.
Theese are from the recent qualification in Austria:
-> in the bottom with No 17 is Sokolov

Sorry if posting pics here is against rulls...There is not any videos. I found a reporting from a game - Sokolov is with yellow shirt, No 1 http://sportal.bg/video.php?video_id=3733
Another one - Sokolov is No 1 on the shirt, this time in blue: http://sportal.bg/video.php?video_id=3720
And an interview with him (in bulgarian): http://sportal.bg/video.php?video_id=3722 after he made 27 points in a match against the leader in the championship CSKA, he is saying that he favorite volleyball player is Vlado Nikolovmore photos:

Hey thanx man, that's exactly the kind of reply I was looking for He does seem to have a bright future, hope to see more of him in the future. Cool that he's been selected for the world league selection too. Would be cool to see a Bulgarian team with Matej and this guy (when he progressed further), would make two monster outside hitters.

.... would make two monster outside hitters.
In attack yes, but in reception it will be tragedy maybe...
That's the reason for Stoev to put Sokolov in the opposite list. And Kaziyski is still unstable in reception...And... I'm female.

Interesting thread, hearing the first talks about one of the greatest opposites who went on to have a great career!
