Botev’s head coach expressed positives and negatives for his team after the 2:2 draw against Slavia in Sofia.
Here are the first words of our head coach:
“Congratulations to both teams for today’s match. I think it was a very nice game to watch. Very beautiful game from both teams. Especially my team wants to play this way – to dominate and look for goals. I want to congratulate Slavia and Zlatomir Zagorcic because the team looks different under him. We deserved to win but there was a bad set of circumstances. There are experienced people in Slavia who can always punish us. We are moving forward because this is the process we have to go through” began Dušan Kerkez.
“Our team is not made of 11 players, but of 25 players. Sometimes some players start, other times – others. I want to congratulate Brahimi, who put a lot of effort to be available again for the squad. Georgi Nikolov needs time to understand what we want, because he sometimes burns out when he is in the starting squad. Nikolov will soon be the leading scorer of the Bulgarian national team. We are working, he just needs to be patient and with time he will only improve, further” he added.
“I want to congratulate our fans who were with us and supported us from the first minute to the last. We will try to prepare well for our next match and win. Ludogorets has a good coach and players, they have a winning mentality. It will be fantastic match. Botev is a big and great club that should fight every season for Europe, the title and the Bulgarian Cup. The team has a great history and we should not be afraid of anyone. In every match we give our best but even if we lose, we need to leave with our heads high because of the football we show,” concluded Dušan.
