Yacine Louati vs Tsvetan Sokolov | France vs Bulgaria | VNL 2021 (HD)

The men's tournament at the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League began on Friday with a victory for France over Bulgaria 3-0 (27-25, 25-21, 25-23). Jean Patry and Yacine Louati both scored 10 points in the winning effort.

Here is what the players said:

Kevin Tillie (FRA): We didn't expect too much. We started all together not too long ago. We were focused on our game, we didn't think about who we were playing against. The most important thing was to touch the ball and find our rhythm together as a team. We made a lot of mistakes during the match, but I think that at the end we managed to control the game and get a win. It's exciting to play with the national team again. We are all friends so it's fun to play together every summer, we didn't do that last summer, so now we are even more happy to be together again.

Tsvetan Sokolov (BUL): I think we lost this game in the first set, when it was 24-22. This was the moment we should have taken our chance and won the set. Afterwards, they found their rhythm and they started to play in different ways. We lost the first set and I think it was the most important part of this match. But also at the end we didn't play well, France played better and they deserved the win. We need to take a rest, it's just the beginning so we have to improve our game.
