Deya Sport (Burgas) registered its three foreign volleyball players - the Japanese Kosuke Hata and Hiroki Koto, and the Brazilian Victor Alcantara, Volleyweek.bg learned.Volleyweek.bg.
The problem with international transfer certificates, which prevented the three from participating in the first round of WINBET Super Volley, has now been resolved. Thus, outside hitter Hata, libero Koto, and middle blocker Alcantara will be available for Saturday's away game against champion Levski.
Despite the good news, the Burgas team will be without brothers Georgi and Valentin Bratoevi, who have to serve the second match of their disciplinary penalties.
We remind you that Deya Sport started the championship with a Burgas derby against the holder of the Bulgarian Cup Neftochimik 2010. In the absence of the five players, the heavily rejuvenated squad, led by Tsvetan Sokolov, put up serious resistance but lost 1:3 (22:25, 25:21, 19:25, 23:25). The fourth game was particularly dramatic, in which Deya had a significant lead of 22:17, but allowed a comeback and failed to force the match into a tie-break. After the match, the young squad from Burgas was called Tsvetan Sokolov's "kindergarten."
Now the situation is different. The three foreigners are now eligible to participate, and each of them can make their official debut against Levski. The match in Sofia is on Saturday, October 31, at 7:00 PM.
