Statement after the fifth round match of the men's volleyball championship between Deya Sport and Levski Sofia – 0:3:
Nikolay Zhelyazkov (Levski coach):
“The first match played a big role. We started a bit stiff and Deja played without two main players. We thought we had to win and that made us stiff. In the first match there was a great game from Todor Skrimov and then we imposed our style. and remembering the performance we congratulated ourselves on the win.
We made encounters with Deja difficult and made their game predictable. We won three important points in Burgas.
We haven't lost, but that's just statistics. The goal is to fight to win every point. Everyone looked at Skrimov, there was no need to say anything. Toshko brings calm and confidence to his compositions.
A very difficult encounter of any kind awaits us. We will play in the Champions League in Poland against one of the strongest teams in Europe (Jastrzebski Wengel). We are aware of who we are up against. It is good to give players the opportunity to play against the best. We'll see what they're capable of. I expect more from the rematch against them in Sofia in January.”
