Levski’s coach is a psychiatrist, jumped to beat me

CSKA and Levski played three games against each other on April 27. Now on Saturday they will compete for the fourth time on the same date. The Blues won twice. First in 1986 in the final for the Bulgarian Cup – 2:1, and then with the same result in 2013 for the championship.

BLITZ reminds you of the derby on April 27, 1996, which is the most scandalous. The “Reds” win 1:0 for the championship and break their black streak of nine consecutive losses against the great rival – an unsurpassed record. Something else – they stop Levski on the way to the title and help Slavia win it.

The only goal was scored by Petar Mihtarski in the 69th minute. Before that, after the end of the first half, a fan from sector “A” threw a live snake at the head referee Veselin Bogdanov. The reptile falls at the feet of the stunned arbitrator and his assistants.

The stressed referee refused to come out in the second half, but thanks to the intervention of the delegate on duty, he was dissuaded.

“I have been playing matches for years. I have seen what not, but this was the height of simplicity. To bring a snake into the stadium and throw it on the track at our feet. Terrifying!” Veselin Bogdanov, born in Veliko Tarnovo, commented after the match.

The chilling picture was also spotted by a German scout who was in the boxes of the National Stadium. The guest represents the elite Bochum and has come to observe Georgi Donkov. Two months later, the striker was sold to the German club. Together with him, Engibarov also started for the German team, but he did not record a single minute in the Bundesliga.

But the horror for Judge Bogdanov does not stop there. He has another reason for pulling for the second half. The referee complains that he was attacked in the tunnel by Levski coach Ivan Kyuchukov. This happened during the break of the match, when both teams went to the dressing room. Shortly after the snake scare.

“This man clearly needs a psychiatrist,” Bogdanov commented after the meeting, referring to Kyuchukov.

“I am outraged by his behavior. Ivan Kyuchukov pounced on me in the corridor in front of the dressing rooms and uttered all kinds of insults towards me. It’s good that Andrey Zhelyazkov intervened. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened,” Bogdanov added to the media.

Kyuchukov was clearly furious about the red card of defender Dimcho Markov shown in the 36th minute.

There is another scandal in the tunnel. This time after the game. CSKA defender Engibar Engibarov (in the picture on the left) jumps to Iliyan Simeonov-Chushkata and Levski’s sports director Andrey Zhelyazkov. It comes down to a healthy fight.

A security officer runs to break up the clinging Engibarov and Simeonov, but Engi kicks him so hard that he injures him. With his iron buttons, he opened a wound in the leg of the foreman, who was taken to “Pirogov”. The next day, an investigation begins and it turns out that Engibarov did not see the policeman. He wanted to kick Levski’s player.

“It happened unintentionally, for which I apologize to the police officer. I was attacked by Simeonov and Zhelyazkov and I wanted to protect myself from their attacks,” Engi claims.

However, the two leftists say otherwise – Engibarov started first.

The loss to CSKA severely hampered Levski in the title battle with Slavia. In the same 28th round, the “Whites” finished 0:0 as guests in Kyustendil of the local Levski. However, thanks to the success of the “armies”, they are three points clear at the top. They have 65, and the “blues” have 62.

After two more rounds, the championship ends and Slavia is the champion with 67 points, and Levski remains with 62, as it recorded two more losses – against Loko Sofia and Dobrudzha.

CSKA is fifth in the final ranking with 56 points. BLITZ SPORTS
