The Bulgarian Riviera should suffice: Vilian Bijev at Cherno More Varna

Re: Villyan Bijev at Liverpool FC?

Looks like the game he played in was an exhibition becasue FCV Dender is in the Belgian second division. He will probably be with Genks B-kern. It looks like that is what they call their reserves or B-team.

This is a link to their B-kern page. It is 2010-2011 list, but it says the 2011-2012 will be up soon. In a few days he might be listed.

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

Good to see him providing a nice spark off the (locker room) bench.

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

So 90 minutes and a goal in his reserve team debut? Not bad.

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

I doubt that their B-Team plays in the Belgian 2nd division so who knows who he played with in that one but its good to see that he's playing and scoring.

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

I believe this is his goal:

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

I got a good vibe about this guy..

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

I found a Villyan Bijev thread on a Racing Genk fan website. Could a Flemish/Dutch speaking poster possibly give us a translation of this comment?

Liet een vrij goede indruk op training vandaag. Stevige en zuivere inspeelpas, technisch sterk, snel en is (ondanks zijn vrij lichte bouw) stevig in de duels. Minpunt leek me wel zijn conditie en positiespel (alhoewel dit laatste me opviel in de wedstrijdjes van 3 tegen 3 en is mss dus geen echte waardemeter).​

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

Teh Googles did a fairly good job, I guess.

"Did a pretty good impression at training today. Solid and pure inspeelpas, technically strong, fast and (despite his slight build) firmly in the duels. Downside seemed a good condition and his positional play (although I noticed in the last matches of three against three and is therefore not a true measure of value mss)."

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

sorta taking off like Gatt type vibe

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

If I ever have to come up with a new username...

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

not: firmly in the duels

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

I'm Flemish and I must say Google translate did a pretty decent job

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

What is "inspeelpas"?

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

playing passes? With the ball at his feet?

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

passing the ball (accurately)

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

He still doesn't appear on the Genk roster (Though the u21 team hasn't been updated since last season). This article from a few days ago says that Bijev looks good in training and negotiations between Liverpool and Genk are progressing well.

Racing Genk lost the Champions League 1st leg playoff match 2-1 away to Maccabi Haifa:

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

That's not really a bad result, the away goal is useful. Not a great result either though.

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

Obviously, Genk will want the Champions League group stage money and prestige, but from Bijev's standpoint the result of the Genk-Haifa tie isn't all that important. If they lose, they'll head to the Europa League group stage where they'll have the same number of matches, with a greater chance of advancing.

 

Re: Villyan Bijev at Racing Genk

Yesterday evening Bijev played 90 minutes in what looks to be Genk's reserve team in a 4-1 loss to Anderlecht.

Looks like they had him lined up in midfield, and for some reason he's listed as a "test player".
