Ivan-Dimitrov
“We are really disappointed to finish the European Championship with the Playoffs. What can I say? A few days ago, our players Hristina Ruseva and Elitsa Vasileva were ill and could not train with the other members of the team. On the match day, they were ok, but we did not show high-level Volleyball. Many people said we were the favorites going into this matchup with Germany, but finally we are sad to have to leave the competition,” Ivan Dimitrov, the head coach of Bulgaria, said.
“We faced our usual problem today. We played great Volleyball in one set and then… We are not stable in our game and play either very well or very bad. This is our biggest problem and it did not improve or change through this tournament as in each game we were close to winning 3-0 or 3-1 and in the end, we did not,” Elitsa Vasileva, the captain of Bulgaria, could not hide her disappointment.
