Denis Karyagin continues to solidify his status as one of the most effective attackers in the Italian Serie A2. After another strong match, in which he finished with 32 points, the receiver of Banca Macerata Physiomed MC convincingly climbed to second place among the top scorers in the league. The Bulgarian is now only 10 points behind the leader in the standings – opposite hitter Diego Cantagalli.
Particularly indicative is the fact that Karyagin is the only receiver in the top 5 of the highest-scoring players, considering that setters most often look for opposite hitters in the finishing phase. This achievement highlights not only his high efficiency in attack but also his key role in the team's playing model.
Besides Karyagin, two more names with a Bulgarian connection find a place among the leading scorers in Serie A2 – national player Hristiyan Dimitrov and Manuel Zlatanov, grandson of the legend of Bulgarian volleyball Dimitar Zlatanov.
| Place | Player | Position | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Denis Karyagin | Receiver | Banca Macerata Physiomed MC | 273 |
| 6 | Manuel Zlatanov | Receiver | Consar Ravenna | 222 |
| 13 | Hristiyan Dimitrov | Opposite Hitter | Consar Ravenna | 195 |
The numbers clearly show the scale of Denis Karyagin's performance – with 273 points after 13 matches, he directly competes with opposite hitters. The difference of just 10 points from first place highlights his consistency and high success rate in attack.
Manuel Zlatanov's presence in the top 10 is indicative of his stable role in the Ravenna squad.
Hristiyan Dimitrov, for his part, continues to be a reliable attacking option for Ravenna and solidifies his position as an active national team player.
The overall picture is clear – the Bulgarian presence in Serie A2 is not just statistical, but real and significant, with Denis Karyagin as one of the brightest names in the championship so far.
