[@hakunadamatta]

This is earth shattering potential. Never seen a player with so many dangerous skills

[@dinekm-s3q]

Bro is majestic, He got height , power, strategy and everything.

[@noahlestern]

zip it up when ur done lil bro

[@ruohnii]

@@noahlesternLet’s hear what achievements you had at 17.

[@noahlestern]

@@ruohnii I'll tell ya when I get there

[@jewlz1355]

Cant like anything anymore ​@@noahlestern

[@aleksaleksandrov7846]

You aren't getting anywhere 😂​@@noahlestern

[@mog5353]

I hope the kid doesn't grow complacent. If he keeps working as hard as I'm sure he has been up untill now, he'll turn into something truly spectacular for the volleyball community.

[@EA-tx8ef]

This kid is phenomenal.. his future is so bright.

[@abrar_x77]

Nikolov 17: youngest in charge.

[@devilgaming2.013]

He is the all rounder 👍🔥

[@wmf8875]

This kid is nuts. 5:20 this just scream "fine i'll do it myself", what a ballsy play. The opposite MB froze and just watch like tf was that. Now that bruno retired he might be my next favourite setter to watch.

[@mensrea1251]

Didn’t think you could be called a sensation as a setter but this guy actually is.

[@bardado7362]

There is another Bulgarian 17 years old sensation in the volley world. He is the grand child and the son of two volleyball legends, his name is Manuel Zlatanov, he plays for the Italian national team being born and raised in Italy. A future name to be followed up.

[@emanoelferreira1557]

Bro is a bulgarian kageyama

[@synchronize00]

Reminded me of him too. Off topic: Haikyuu is really one of the most beautiful pieces of fiction I ever watched. I didn't even like volleyball before (even though I was always into sports), but here I am now watching highlight on youtube...

[@wyvrix5421]

@@synchronize00literally me too, haikyuu is so compelling and rich and it ended up getting me into actually playing intramural club volleyball in my university now

[@syntaxjunkie10]

My friends played against him this year for the Balkan Championship U-21. He's crazy good!

[@joshelliott6873]

Once he learns to finish his sets high on distance middles (B/31/Gap/whatever else you wanna call it) he will be unstoppable.

[@nikolayvarfolomeev4556]

Николов очень достойный парень! А главное очень достойно ведет себя после убойных сейвов! В Волейбол играют джентельмены !!!

[@freedmni]

Easily the best kid I’ve ever seen at his age

[@mattrogers1052]

this whole reel made me smile

[@vedangarekar1390]

That back attack is worth rewatching multiple times.

[@ROSEPE]

Ok, quiero ver a Nikolov en las pròximas olimpiadas, tiene un futurazoooo

[@AHAH-d1v]

Lamine yamal of volleyball

[@Thiaguin13]

simplesmente um oposto no corpo de um levantador. esse garoto tem potência pra revolucionar a posição!!!

[@kenar420]

I haven't watched a full game for him BUT DAMN HES GOOD

[@rperov318]

2:41 wtf is his block height?

[@ЯрославГмайл]

230, конец антены

[@rperov318]

@@ЯрославГмайл мужская сетка 243 может 330?

[@yashA.456]

probably around 3,20 or something. he got super long arms. he easily reaches the top of antenna which is exactly 3,23

[@Dontknow645]

​@@yashA.456 I saw some guy says that Darlan spike at 3.70m. Would that mean he would spike 50cm over antenna and everyone blocks?

[@yashA.456]

@@Dontknow645 nah 3,70 is cap. whoever said that or "officially meassures" something like that is adding to the height in some form or way. Some of the highest attacks are definitely at the height of the antenna or a bit higher, like 3,30 to 3,40 is probably the highest I have seen in a live match. But even then it is 1 out of 100 spikes for the spiker to have perfect conditions like that. You don't hit the ball like that every time

[@RajeshMishra-yq4rw]

My inspiration

[@olavojuscelinofreitas8275]

Amazing Nikolov - Ele é um fenomeno pela pouca idade e com tanta personalidade.

[@cerenyldz2754]

Amazing, congrats

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

It is hard to comprehend that this is a setter. I will keep an eye on this young player

[@lubocaner1664]

He plays opposite too actually. Sometimes Bulgaria did it during VNL - they let another setter in, and S. Nikolov played opposite xD

[@dokbrian]

4:30 cant believe a 17 year old can scare the Jean Patry

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

No kidding. He is one of the most level headed players out there rn and he was like “no thank you”

[@lifeinaqua660]

Reminds me of my nephew one of the top D1 recruits in the country.

[@rahulr8444]

2:42 bro has more reach than middle 🗿💀

[@sirlepau]

Those middle sets. 🤙🏽

[@kevinka99]

this kis is Wembanyama from volley

[@antivolley]

I will take him for my team! 🎉

[@warriyorcat]

1:24 Clevenot's face was like yeah...yeah that was good

[@lubocaner1664]

Nice detail xD

[@Shadow-ps4fn]

Bro gives me the vibe of kageyama

[@shashankpatel6131]

But he got the height of koganegawa👹

[@いろはす-y2r]

打つふりをしてバックライトに正確に上げれるの強すぎるなあ

[@Teresa31]

Wowww wowww wowww fenomenal!!

[@JackScholten-g5m]

Imagine being 17 and being able to rip 124kph serves

[@Toeslurper584]

bro that shit is actually insane

[@derekmz]

Aggressive setter

[@lubocaner1664]

High risk high reward

[@ครูไก่โต้งฉัตรชัยดอนโคตรจั-ฟ6ช]

Excellent

[@taupickseptrianaputra6116]

If you watch the Haikyuu, you must to be know Koganegawa on Dateko team. Nikolov seems like koganegawa, tallest setter, monster blocker, aggresive in front row.

[@ИхарьЭверстов]

Когда хотел играть в атаке, а тебе сказали что есть место только связки 🤣👍🏻🔥

[@arjunsalwan3691]

Kageyama?

[@tobiokageyama3704]

Yes?

[@Remindw]

Damn i wish we had a setter like this in Poland. Arguably we have great middle blockers, liberos and opposites, but setting was always our weakest point after Zagumny retired.

[@user-df5is8jy6n]

nikolov: he's gonna do something again, but i can't guess. brizard and other legends: what? he did something? i didn't notice.

[@KR-xf3cg]

Looks like Bulgaria is about to have their Christenson/Gianelli :)

[@lubocaner1664]

Yep, exactly.

[@notthat-guy]

Honestly, He's the real world incarnation of Kageyama

[@taupickseptrianaputra6116]

Not kageyama. But koganegawa in dateko team

[@kumaran7982]

KAANGAAAYEEEEMAAAAAAAAAAAA

Jesus loves us all ty

[@Toeslurper584]

bro he faked them out so hard with the eye contact and head nod broooo hes smart asf at 3:31

[@cauazinhoohyt2922]

17 anos, levantador e o que mais salta no time dele☠️

[@holydemon84]

just when I thought Micah Christensen is a genius, this kid is a whole different level

[@TomaszSarzyński]

I love how when the pass is not that good, he rzna after the ball with his arms spread and raised.

Can we talk about Patry’s reaction in 3:20 im deaddd💀💀😭

[@Matiaza]

1:03 can't be legal right?

Same question

not even a question. this play is absolutely legal

Reminds me a lot of Ricardinho :)

[@nathansimpson8382]

The only thing he's missing from being the perfect platform for a setter is being left handed

今でもとても素晴らしい選手なのは間違い無いが、こういう未来ある選手ほど若いうちからセリエAの高レベルなバレーや、日本の細かいところまで意識するバレーで学んで欲しいなって思う。日本でのセッターの育成においては高レベルな指導者がいるから。多分。
