The new head coach of FC CSKA 1948 Atanas Rybarski commented on the situation in the club and shared what he wants to change in the team’s game. The coach gave a press conference before the match with Ludogorets in the efbet League.
“The first against the third in the standings, a difficult match is expected in view of the past match for the Cup. We think that we will be able to raise the mood and look in a different way and show the maximum of the possibilities”, shared the coach of the “reds”.
“A new coach of the first team, yes, but I think I’ve been at the club for enough time. I know the players well. Everything can’t be clear to me, but the most important thing is already. It wasn’t the maximum of the players’ capabilities,” he added .
“There is no permanent mentor, every coach is fired sooner or later. Maybe the situation is not easy, but now to go and create dramas and tragedies – it makes no sense. We have to focus on the next match and find the right solutions. We believe in the possibilities of the players,” comments Rybarski.

“The results are not optimal, now I can’t talk about the form of the players, there are data that we will rely on. There are three matches to the end, the goal is the bronze medals. In view of the state of the team, the most important thing at such a moment is the time, and we don’t have it. Who knows what radical changes will not be made”
To a question about personnel problems in the team, Atanas Ribarski answered: “We have problems with several people. At this stage, they cannot take part in the training process. Otherwise, the physical condition of the players is normal not to be optimal after so many matches and at the end of the season . We also played in the Cup, we also played with Levski on a pitch that was difficult. All this has an impact, which we cannot help but note, but it is not an excuse.”

“Let’s reduce the mistakes on the ball and increase the intensity of the defensive actions a little bit. I hope we see the real face and not what we saw the other day. There is nothing to lie to ourselves, the situation is like this at the moment, there are three games left, and the goals are high. It is unlikely that a mentor could have been found in this short time. I think I know the situation at the club quite well, and this may have tipped the scales to choose me. There are tough opponents ahead, I don’t want to justify anything,” he said also the coach of FC CSKA 1948.
“I think that for the last one year the club has taken a line to create competition from players who are perhaps the best in the efbet League. We will continue to follow this line, I don’t think we can comment on specific positions anymore, because there are many unknowns.”

Atanas Rybarski also commented on the performance of the second team of FC CSKA 1948, which is the leader in the Second League.
“I am proud of the results in the second team. I congratulate the boys in the second team. We know each other quite well. I am not a slave to whether we will be first or third. The style of play and the behavior of the players is more important. I hope that in the Second League things will are ok. All the guys below are potential first team players. The first place in the Second League is not so important, it’s more important to impose guys like Emil Tsenov. I’m sure everyone can take part in the first team. Towards the end of the season there is a lot of fatigue”
“I want to abstract myself from things off the field. We want to get our smiles back from the victories as quickly as possible and I don’t want to comment on such presumptions. I am sure that whatever we need to do, we are the club that does only the pitch in those 90 minutes, in which points are given and goals are scored. I’m glad to be in just such a club. And other teams should follow our example,” concluded Rybarski.
