Eurosport Italy with a brief commentary on the successes of the "Squadra Azzurra"

The Zlatanov family won another personal championship medal. This time it was achieved by 17-year-old Manuel, son of Hristo and grandson of Dimitar. On this occasion, the Italian department of Eurosport made a brief summary on the topic. The TV channel's website announced that thanks to the "Azzurri"'s U17 world title, won in Sofia after a phenomenal championship comeback against Argentina, the future of the volleyball powerhouse is more than secure. It is necessary to clarify that the captain of this formation - Manuel Zlatanov, was also an important part of the Italy U18 team, which played in the EuroVolley 2024 final, again in Sofia, and took silver, after losing to France. It is also extremely important to remember that father and grandfather - the legendary Hristo and Dimitar Zlatanov - were constantly by Manuel's side in all these matches, which reinforces the family's championship image.

In addition, Alessandro Bovolenta, part of another magnificent volleyball family in the Apennines, has already participated for his country in the Olympic Games in Paris this summer.

It remains to be seen how far this new strong and talented generation of "Squadra Azzurra" volleyball players will go.
