Bulgarian financier Kiril Evtimov attended the Premier League match between Tottenham and Brentford in London.
„Spurs“ recorded their first home victory in the championship since August, defeating the former team of their current manager Thomas Frank 2:0. It was with him that Evtimov managed to see after the end of the match and exchange a few words.
„You had a great team in 1994, but another memory has stuck in my mind, a little later. Denmark played Bulgaria in Copenhagen, Balakov then had a great match. He skillfully directed your game the whole time, was tireless, and in the end he even assisted for your goal. He made a huge impression on me, and my amazement was that at that time he was of serious football age“, he did not hide his superlatives for our legendary midfielder Thomas Frank.
The 52-year-old specialist was referring to the qualification for the World Cup in 2002, when on 11.10.2000 we finished 1:1 at “Parken“. It was Balakov who provided the equalizer for Berbatov, whose goal against Schmeichel was his first in an important match with the national team, after 8 months earlier he had scored against Chile in a 2:3 loss in the control.
After the end of their match, Evtimov gave Thomas Frank a branded bag of Bulgaria souvenirs.
In addition to him, the Burgas native met Tottenham legend and club ambassador Ledley King, who was Berbo's teammate at “White Hart Lane“ for 2 seasons.
