Simeon Nikolov: The 17-Year-Old Setter Sensation in Volleyball

[@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

[@hakunadamatta]

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

[@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 👍🔥

[@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...

[@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.

[@vedangarekar1390]

That back attack is worth rewatching multiple times.

[@mensrea1251]

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

[@teagamvp]

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

[@mattrogers1052]

this whole reel made me smile

[@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.

[@AHAH-d1v]

Lamine yamal of volleyball

[@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.

[@ROSEPE]

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

[@olavojuscelinofreitas8275]

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

[@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

[@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

[@sirlepau]

Those middle sets. 🤙🏽

[@kevinka99]

this kis is Wembanyama from volley

[@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!!

[@Shadow-ps4fn]

Bro gives me the vibe of kageyama

[@shashankpatel6131]

But he got the height of koganegawa👹

[@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 🤣👍🏻🔥

[@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”

[@warriyorcat]

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

[@lubocaner1664]

Nice detail xD

[@notthat-guy]

Honestly, He's the real world incarnation of Kageyama

[@taupickseptrianaputra6116]

Not kageyama. But koganegawa in dateko team

[@JackScholten-g5m]

Imagine being 17 and being able to rip 124kph serves

[@Toeslurper584]

bro that shit is actually insane

[@KR-xf3cg]

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

[@lubocaner1664]

Yep, exactly.

[@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.

[@rahulr8444]

2:42 bro has more reach than middle 🗿💀

[@_marrz_]

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

[@nathansimpson8382]

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

[@luiztotos]

Reminds me a lot of Ricardinho :)

[@charmedcharmed3511]

Wow... “sensation”... nothing really sensational about all his moves to me, which have been seen executed by other major setters in international competitions. A talent, I'd say, having the skill set at 17.

[@lubocaner1664]

Having full pro skill set at age 17 is sensation in basically every sports. Plus, actually being even able to play opposite makes him quite unique already.

[@revalin4809]

hes got good control over the court, hes playing with the minds of seasoned players - hes about 8 or so years younger rhan the average player so hes got lots of time to develop his skills. Could be one of the best in the century.
