From today, August 19, the legend of Bulgarian volleyballMatey Kaziyskienters full pre-season training. For now, this is happening in the hall ofItas Trentino, the champion of Italy, where Kaziyski is a symbolically and practically important figure. But for the Bulgarian public, the meaning is different - the former captain of the national team is keeping in shape precisely with the thought ofa possible contract with Lokomotiv Avia, which is expected to be finalized by the end of August.

By the end of the week, the Spaniard Ramon should join them. Matey Kaziyski is precisely in this small group, who will undergo full training, shoulder to shoulder with six young talents from the UniTrento Volley academy.

The fact that Matey starts intensive training now shows his serious attitude to be immediately ready for his potential participation in the Bulgarian Super League. For Lokomotiv Avia, this would mean a transfer of enormous significance - not only in terms of image but also sports-wise, because Kaziyski will bring leadership, routine, and stability in key moments.
By the end of the month, official confirmation is expected whether the Bulgarian public will see Matey Kaziyski in action again in the domestic championship. For now, one thing is certain - he is already working to be at the peak of his abilities when the time comes.
