The volleyball players from the Bulgarian national team for juniors under 19 suffered their first loss at the World Cup in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), reported sportal.bg.
Miroslav Zhivkov's graduates lost to world champion France 0:3 (18:25, 25:27, 19:25) in their last 5th match from Group B, which was irrelevant for the final ranking in the group stage, after the national team had already secured first place yesterday.
Bulgaria's head coach Miroslav Zhivkov gave the opportunity for more volleyball players to appear in the match against France.
So in the 1/8 finals, Bulgaria, which won Group B, will meet tomorrow the fourth team from Group D, which will most likely be the USA.
