It’s not hard to reach out and say sorry.
Izzo, thank you for this step.
With these words, a more than 10-year conflict between the top scorer of the national team, who reached the 4th place in the USA – Hristo Stoichkov, and the captain of Peneva Cheta Borislav Mihailov officially ended.
The former, as the mentor of “Litex”, enraged by the refereeing, accused the latter of the terrible management of Bulgarian football. “For me, this person does not exist!” That cut off Izzo then.
Today at the meeting on the occasion of 30 years of the 4th place in the States and the founding of a foundation, which, if necessary, helps those connected with the greatest national team in the history of Bulgarian football. Stoichkov and Mikhailov shook hands. Apparently after the necessary step on the part of Kamata.
“You know me, what kind of person I am. I have never used the word, so jerseys, trophies, individual awards where I have received, I have never put myself first. The team has always been the leader, because without you there is no way get up
Let’s remember a little of what was 30 years ago. Because we went on the last plane, with the last ticket that was left – in tourist class. Because no one gave us predictions that we would go. I left one board, I only wrote the names of Dimitar Penev and Krasi Borisov. Let everyone write it for themselves against the number. Over the years, everyone has made mistakes. I most certainly. But today is one of those times when I have to call our captain to come here to me – Bobby Mihailov!” Stoichkov said. And immediately after these words there was applause and Mihailov came to the microphone. The dagger also stated that everyone in the team always listened to the captain Mihailov, after which he added the aforementioned line that it is not difficult to extend your hand and say “excuse me”.
“Thank you, Itso! First of all I want to thank you for this step. Anyway, we have always been close. I have always – despite all the journalists, whatever they have asked me, I have clearly told the truth – I feel that I love you and always I loved you. I want to congratulate you in front of the boys. You and Krasi all agreed and came here.
So thanks again. 30 years is a long time, it is an era for people, Mihailov turned from the stage. He then continued: “We did something really big and now, watching the European just finished, we understand for ourselves how difficult it is to get to the last game.
There is no match for 3-4 place in the European Championship, but anyway, we played seven out of seven possible matches. so once again thank you. We’ve always been strong when we’ve been together and we’ll continue to be strong because we’re together.”
The coaches Dimitar Penev and Krasimir Borisov were also among the team from that time. Defenders Emil Kremenliev and Iliyan Kiryakov were missing, as was Lyuboslav Penev, who was not in the squad for America but had an important role in the team’s ranking. There was a special place for his late legendary defender Trifon Ivanov.
