On Saturday the debut in Play-off Scudetto 2022, Kaziyski: “Ready for a new challenge”

Trento-Piacenza represents a challenge that in the Play-Off Scudetto, evidently, belongs to Matey Kaziyski’s destiny. After six seasons, on Saturday at BLM Group Arena, the Bulgarian ace will play once again a match with the T-shirt of Tretino Volley in the final score board that bestow the Italian title and he will play against the opponent that he faced three times in the Finals: in 2008 (the first one with Trento), in 2009 and 2013.
For the captain, who in the Play-off is already a record-man of presence for the Society of Trener street (67 matches played in eight participations) and record-man of points scored (1,043), it will be an additional emotion, even because he is linked with the Emilian team with the best personal score achieved in a single match in this phase: 30 winning balls on May 4th 2008 (match 2 in the Final, lost at the tie-break at PalaBanca). “In fact, this is really a match that has lots of thing in the background, not only for me but also for Trentino Volley and for Piacenza as well. Personally it is a great pleasure being able to find the Emilian team on the court and have the opportunity to play once again the Play-Off with Trento,” declared the Kaiser at the microphone of Trentino Volley Tv. “I believe that our team is ready to play a series of important quarter finals. We have played a great regular season, but now it is time to reap the benefits of a hard work and put into practice everything we have learnt in these months of training and matches.”
“At the beginning of the season, we surely couldn’t forecast that we were able to arrive to this point, with such a fine ranking and with a semifinal of Champions League to be played in the meantime. Piacenza, from this point of view, is a very dangerous opponent that showed how it can face every team and also for this reasons we shall not underestimate it. Fortunately, I come to this event without any match played this week, where I could relax but also work in the weight room to be at the best shape possible and I hope everything can be useful during the coming weeks. Our hope is to be able to play more matches and also to play very long series. I hope our supporters are coming to BLM Group Arena in large numbers to live with us new emotions. I’ll be waiting for them already on Saturday.”
