A battle is set between three Levski players for a starting place in the derby with CSKA. These are Marin Petkov, Javad El Jemili and Everton Bala. The reason is that one of them will have to stay on the bench next to Nikolay Kostov for the match with the “reds”, writes today in “Mach Telegraf”.
As is known, Fabio Lima has already recovered and recorded the first minutes after the injury he received in the control with Sportist. And on Saturday, Kostov will hardly allow himself to keep him as a joker again. There is no logic, since his absence has been constantly pointed out lately.
In his absence, Marin Petkov appeared as the right winger. But now he will have to give way. Nevermind that the international is the Blues’ top scorer this spring with his 5 goals. In addition, Levski bewitches him for a new contract. However, he will now have to play a different role on the field. Marin is generally used to carousels. He hasn’t been a goalkeeper or central defender since he was with the men.
The Spaniard with Moroccan roots, El Jemili, managed to increase his tally with 3 more goals and shares the first place among the scorers of “Guerna” together with Ricardinho. And you can’t stick him on the bench either, although he occasionally gets on the nerves of his coaches and teammates. And we should also remember that in the fall Kostov scored a double for him in the derby with CSKA, which ended 1:1.
Thus, the most logical thing is for Everton Bala to sit on the bench for this match, although Levski has no problem with the number of legionnaires with non-EU passports, because they can start with five. However, Guerena claim that there is hardly any other player who performs in training before matches as he does. The bullet jumped the others, but the bad thing is that it is not visible during the matches. Something else is certain with him. The “Blues” will hardly want to put him in the offshoot column after they put so much effort into bringing him to Sofia. Although only for rent until the summer.
