I think Bulgaria should leave some slots for youngster who played in European League. For instance Zarkova has nothing special and not a young player anymore. I would give her slot to Mira Todorova and Kamenova's slot to Simona Dimitrova. More urgently, Bulgaria needs to find a stable libero. Young Zhana Todorova seems a good prospect to me.

Agree. Maybe this will happens soon and i hope so that more young players like Nasia and Petya to be a part of the first team. Some of these players are in Wide roster for WGP and i hope so that Kuzyutkin will find a way to use him. So first it was planned for Yeltsin and WGP Mira Todorova to be with the other older MB but Nasya Dimitrova showed very good games in European league. About Zarkova maybe she is not very young and so quality MB but maybe Vladimir want more experience in the important matches in WGP. About hitters i think that Kamenova can do much more than for exemple Karakasheva or Slavina Koleva but she needs a chance to prove it.For Simona i'm not sure. I don't like her game so much i prefer younger Gergana Dimitrova or Miroslava Paskova but they are still in the youth national team roster and later will be able to play with women. About the libero i can say that we really need a good libero because no one of Monova or Maria Filipova is good libero and Desislava is not clear libero and she says that she don't want to play as libero but for now there is no other option because Zhana will play also with a youth team this summer. Maybe next season.

S: Stoltenborg, Dijkema
L: Schoot, Oosterveld
Opp: Muijlwijk, Pietersen
OH: Plak, Buijs, Sloetjes, van Berkel

Nelli is one of the most used female names is Bulgaria. I think it's not typicall for Russia but who knows.

Nelli indeed isn't a typical Russian name, although it's not that rare here. Alisheva doesn't sound like a Russian surname either, so maybe Nelli has Bulgarian or some other nation roots.
