Deya Sport defeated Montana 3:0 (25:14, 25:21, 25:15), and before the start of the match, the team’s libero Martin Ivanov was awarded an honorary plaque by the deputy mayor of Burgas, Manol Todorov, for his bravery.
A week ago, hours before the visit of Levski Sofia, he learned that his father (who is a former volleyball player of Levski) had lost his life in a tragic accident, but he went out with his teammates, played and gave his all for the victory over the “blues “.
In the home victory in the match of the 18th round of the efbet Super Volley, Burgazlii took revenge for the loss in the first half of the season, the only loss for the team so far since the start of the championship.
Thus, the team led by Francesco Cadedu recorded the 17th victory in the elite, and with 1 loss and 49 points is unshakable at the top of the temporary ranking in the elite.
“Everyone has been serving well lately. Whoever executes a better initial kick has the chances to win accordingly. No surprise about our blockade success rate. We are one of the best blocking teams. This also applies to Montana, this time we were better.
Valentin Bratoev had a certain problem before the match. Now we will check what his condition is. But we are 14 people and that’s what I tell the competitors. We trained very well this week and what happened is thanks to this good training process. I am very happy because the end of the regular season is near and we are at the top. Now we will have an opportunity to think more about the playoffs.
We are happy with the winning streak, but let’s not look too much into the numbers, because the battle starts all over again in the playoffs. For us, the most important thing is to prepare well for them, to be good physically and mentally”, commented Francesco Cadedu.
On the other hand, Montana’s team scored 7 losses, with 11 successes, and with 32 points occupies the fifth position in the standings.
Francesco Cadedu could not count on Nikolay Nikolov in this match, who was recorded as the second libero.
The central blocker was injured in the match with Levski and is still recovering. Brazilian Lucas Madalos started diagonally in place of Nikolay Uchikov.
The experienced player is already training with the team, but Kadedu preferred not to take any chances. Todor Dimitrov started in the match in place of Valentin Bratoev in welcome.
Despite the absence of main starters, Deja showed that he has a long bench, substitutions and character by decisively knocking down the opponent. The hosts played together, motivated and efficient.
The guests were unable to take advantage of the absence of key players in the opposing team. Montana had no day and nothing was going well. The sheer number of personal mistakes weighed heavily.
Deja started with a bang and finished the same way in the first game, claiming the lead from the start. The hosts were better in most elements, but in general the blocking was their strong point and was an insurmountable obstacle for the opponent. The service also worked for them, making it as difficult as possible for the opponent to meet.
Montagnani tried to come back and counter in the second half, but missed a real chance to level the game. The guests led with 11:7 and 15:12, but did not keep the pace.
Deja equalized at 20:20. The guests did not last, and a series of service and attack errors made it easier for the opponent to win the game. In the third part, Deja led 8:3 and did not lose the lead anymore, closing the match with the final 3:0.
Dimitar Vasilev was chosen as the most valuable player of the match. He finished with 11 points (1 ace, 6 blocks). Brazilian Lucas Madaloz was the top scorer for Deja with 14 points (2 aces, 6 blocks). Stefan Chavdarov scored 10 points (1 ace, 1 block).
On March 1, Deja Sport visits Heber.
