The head coach of the women’s volleyball players, Lorenzo Micelli, spoke to the media at the open training session at the Hristo Botev hall before the departure for the first tournament in the League of Nations in Antalya.
Ours play their last game tomorrow against Belgium at 5 p.m., and on Sunday they travel to Turkey.
“The aim of our project is to use as many young players as possible. I have spoken with the management of the federation and we are all of the same opinion. This season the burden of not having a relegation from the League of Nations is missing. Given the European Championship for women under 20 in the summer we have to prepare more female athletes for it.That’s why we rejuvenated the team even more.
Thanks to our quarter-final finish at the Europeans last year, we won’t be playing qualifiers. So now the team is actually preparing for the World Cup in 2025,” shared the Italian.
When asked if there are volleyball players who have refused an invitation to the national team, Micheli indicated only one name that he wanted in the lineup, but will be absent.
“I wanted Gergana Dimitrova to be in the group, but in a very pleasant and long conversation with her, she shared that she has other plans that are related to her life. I wish her all the best,” Micheli said. We remind you that Dimitrova recently got married.
The first match of the Nations League is against the Netherlands on May 14 at 17:00.
