Midfielder Ivaylo Chochev stood next to the coach Alexander Dimitrov during the official press conference before tomorrow's clash between Bulgaria and Spain, sportal.bg reported.
According to the midfielder, it is important for our players to play as a team tomorrow and to remain calm.
“I can say from Spain's game that perhaps their strongest quality is their attacking play, they like to keep the ball and have strong personalities. We know that we are facing the best team in the world, but I think that the coach will prepare us in the best way so that we can resist.
Last year we had tough away games with Ludogorets. This year too. When you are considered an outsider and you are under pressure, the most important thing is to play as a team, to stay calm and when you have chances, because they will be fewer, to take advantage.
With the players and the coaching staff, we tried to understand what this collapse is due to. It is not pleasant and it is unacceptable to concede goals like this. The coaches clearly told us what we need to work on and what to improve in order to avoid these goals.
We had a conversation with the players after the match with Turkey. Both among ourselves and with the coaching staff.
