Bulgaria goes all or nothing against Mexico – Volleyball – BG Volleyball
The volleyball players from the Bulgarian national team are playing today in a match that represents a final chance to achieve something more serious at this world forum. Coach Nikolay Zhelyazkov’s boys meet Mexico in their last World Cup Group C match at Arena Spodek in Katowice (Poland). The match starts at 18:30 and will be broadcast live on MAX Sport 1.
So far, Bulgaria has lost to reigning world champion Poland and finalist in this year’s US Nations League with a score of 0:3 in the game. The Mexicans also suffered two defeats against Druzhina Polska and the USA with a score of 0:3.
Today’s match, which starts at 18:30, is the last hope for Bulgaria to continue its participation in the 2022 World Cup. The Bulgarian “lions” must chase a mandatory 3:0 victory and a possible bigger point difference to keep minimum chances of being among one of the four best third teams in the 6 preliminary groups. Everything again, everything will depend on the results of the results and the standings in the other groups that finish tomorrow night.
Everyone in the team began to believe with Nikolay Zhelyazkov and hope that they can fill it and with a little luck and a chance to move forward in the championship.
The only question mark remains Todor Skrimov. In the minutes before the start of the match against Mexico, the coaching staff will decide whether Skrimov will be able to play. The experienced competitor suffered from a muscle problem in the abdomen. The 32-year-old is feeling better, but it is not certain whether he will be 100% ready to take the field. If there is even a small risk to his health, the selector Nikolay Zhelyazkov will not risk it. Most likely, Skrimov will play only part of the match.
