Midfielder Filip Krastev performed quite strongly today against Turkey in the World Cup qualifiers from Group "E", lost 0:2. Krastev also did a lot of work in defense.
"In this match we created more chances than the last few matches. We showed in the second half that we can play football," which he considers the most positive.
"But for many years we have been coming out terribly crushed mentally and we do not believe in ourselves. This has to change. The people who criticize us are no different from us. We all have to support each other and believe in each other. We are not at the level we should be, but we must continue to move forward," said the midfielder of English Oxford United.
"We are a product of the state. We are no different from the people watching on TV. When we are so bad, people make fun of us and we become a laughing stock, so the whole state becomes a laughing stock. This has to change, because who are they making fun of? This is a sentence for all Bulgarians," wonders the Slavia youth player.
Finally, he wished that in the coming years the team would raise the level and have more successful results.
The next match for the national team is on Tuesday against Georgia at 9:45 p.m. at the national stadium "Vasil Levski".
