Michaela: Despodov should no longer take penalties, CSKA will beat Levski 2:1  - 1

The former football player of CSKA Georgi Iliev-Maikola told Sportal.bg that when a football player takes a penalty, he must have self-confidence, which he did not see in Kiril Despodov last night.

"When you miss 3-4 important penalties, you have to give someone else a chance. Despodov was not prepared to take the penalty. He was tense, slightly scared and stressed. His confidence is for Bulgaria. If you're big, you go and put her in. Why don't they change it? Let's try one more. I was one important penalty in front of 60,000 spectators with Levski and I scored it. I don't take penalties, I score them. You have to have self-confidence, the goalkeeper has 15-20% in penalties," Michaela said.

"In CSKA and Levski, the fight is for second, third and fourth place. There is no chance for the former, Iliev commented on the situation before the eternal derby.

"I expect CSKA to change its way of thinking, managers and players. Good move by the owner to bring in this executive. I hope that the whole structure in CSKA will change. For 13 years, Ludogorets has been proving to us how to manage a club and how to become a champion.

This is the most important match for CSKA and Levski. CSKA has better players. In these matches, Levski always enters more ambitious, because this is their match of the year. It will be him again next season. I expect CSKA to beat 2:1. It is very important what the composition will be and what mentality these guys have.

This is a shameful ranking for CSKA. It's a shame that the fans accept this thing too. The most professional thing by far is the fans. You beat Levski, you beat Botev, you don't fall from Ludogorets and you're ready," Michaela said.
