At the age of 17, Simeon Nikolov became the champion of Bulgaria with “Levski” in the men’s volleyball championship in the sweetest way – after winning the final against CSKA. The second son of the legend Vladimir Nikolov had a solid contribution to the great success.
Moni, who played most of the game with a finger injury, was speaking after the 3-1 win over CSKA in the third leg that sealed the series 3-0.
“The feeling is incredible. I am infinitely grateful to the people in the hall. Without them this would not have been possible. They gave us the motivation to fight on the field. The atmosphere was unique.
In volleyball, we are much better than CSKA. I have not lost to CSKA, but I have been in the men’s team since 2022. This speaks to our work.
I’m playing my game. I don’t think about my name. It is important to develop step by step and not to rush.
I try not to think about the achievements of my father and my brother and who I have to surpass, but to play my game.
Not at the moment my brother (Alex Nikolov plays for the Italian “Lube” – b.r.)and I am the champion of Bulgaria,” Moni Nikolov said in his typical direct style, somewhat surprising for his age.
