Montana’s mentor Preslav Peshev was pleased and happy with the success.
“For the crowd, I guess it was very interesting, but to be on either team, it’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown. We played much better. In reality, our rotation is much shorter than theirs. Fatigue took a toll. That’s where the focus falls, the concentration. We made some mistakes, but the girls showed character. I didn’t even need to take a break. They literally got out of that situation with heart, character and fight.”
The meeting in the “Mladost” hall was watched by the former coach of Beroe and current coach of the national team Tanya Gateva.
“What made me happy here, last year there were almost no people in the hall, now there were quite a few people in the hall who supported the team. The match developed in such a way that it pleased the audience as well, maybe the young players gained a lot of experience. The more experienced ones are tired, it’s normal. “Montana” showed a lot of tactical mistakes in the match, but I want to congratulate Yanina Todorova from the “Montana” team, who showed that she has great potential.”
