Perugia brought in a Bulgarian giant as back-up to Atanasijevic: Velizar Chernokozhev. Born in 1995, the outside hitter has just won the Bulgarian national title with Dobrudja. The 212cm tall athlete has a powerful serve. “Chernokozhev is a very promising kid – said sport director Goran Vujevic – He has talent and important physical attributes, and he has a big margin for improvement. We were looking for somebody who could really give us a hand in training as well as in games when needed, and we have seen Velizar as the perfect fit”.
