Levski manager Nikolay Kostov gave a press conference ahead of the derby with CSKA at the weekend in the play-off phase of the efbet Liga. The specialist hinted that he would probably give a vote of confidence to Plamen Andreev as a goalkeeper, but the club strongly wanted to attract Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) guard Dinko Horkas.
“My expectations are different from what they were in the previous game. CSKA changed the coach, but we had no basis for comparison because the team had little playing time. I expect there to be a difference in the CSKA team. We have to play in a way that We can win. The match against Beroe was not so much about the three points as it was about how many mistakes we made in the first half right. Now we have other goals – we are chasing the three points,” he began.
“We have higher hopes after our group is filled. Fabio Lima and Mitkov are back. Petkov and Fabio Lima are our two blades that we couldn’t use in the previous match with CSKA. Then we were toothless in attack. Most likely Plamen Andreev will be at the goal. We will see the mental state of him. It will be unforgivable for him to have psychological concerns before the match,” continued the specialist .
“We will see about Fabio Lima and what his physical condition is. I want him to play certain minutes. We wanted the goalkeeper of Lokomotiv (Plovdiv), we contacted him and his agents. I don’t know how far we have come, I don’t have a result so I can talk “, Levski’s mentor added.
“Throughout the championship, there is a feeling of injustice in many of the matches that we have lost. We have not cried, we always try to be more patient. We hope that with the change of management, this will change in our country as well,” Nikolay Kostov concluded.
