Respect for the coach in the CSKA dressing room had collapsed as it is in the “Bulgarian Army” stadium at the moment, BLITZ learned. The chaos reached enormous proportions under Nestor El Maestro, and when Stamen Belchev took his place, he grabbed his head. Born on May 7, 1969, the specialist quickly set about restoring the mentor’s reputation, putting order in the team.
The players mocked the already expelled El Maestro. They invented a nickname for him and did not take much, very much into account with his instructions and instructions. The top of everything were two situations repeated several times.
Some of the players, five in number, refused to spend the night at the base in Pancharevo on the eve of the home matches. They picked up their hammers from the camp and went back to their quarters. The next morning, the day of the fight, they returned. Once, one of them didn’t come home to the team until 11 o’clock, and at 3 o’clock the match was coming up…
BLITZ clarifies that in the last one year the CSKA players have been gathered at a camp at the base in Pancharevo the evening before a match and rarely use a capital hotel, as was the practice before that for 4-5 years.
The other strange situation has to do with… feeding the players. There is currently no operating restaurant in Pancharevo. However, the management provides catering. Always during camps, the coaching staff orders dinner, which is provided at a specific time. The menu was prepared by Nestor El Maestro’s brother – Nikon, and a nutritionist was hired. The requirement of the coach and his assistants was that everyone except one eat special food without exception. El Maestro often claimed that food is the main trump card for any football player – especially when it comes to physical training.
However, some players did not like the “Serbian bulamachi” and started to…bring food from home – either their wives cooked, or they simply ordered from another place. Football players hid this for a long time, throwing “Nestor’s shirts” secretly into the garbage cans. Finally, when they were caught, there was quite a scandal.
In two words – Nestor at CSKA was in a complete mess. Understand – a huge mess.
Now, under Stamen Belchev, this would not have happened, they assure from the Boris garden. He knew in detail about all the cracks of the players, gathered the whole team, pulled out a speech and said that he imposes salty fines for such offshoots.
