– “Levski” calls for heavy punishments, jumped against “goalkeeper beater”, “coach spectator” and “president mutra”
– “National”: Our guard was cursed and stoned
Our sick football showed itself in a state of complete degradation. Boys who should be the future of the country, the sport, or at least the game they love, turned the end of a football match into a no-rules fight with multiple injuries. And elderly officials and spectators became (co)participants or spectators.
The ugly scenes took place immediately after the end of a match of the so-called Elite youth group under 17 years, although the manifestation is as far removed from the word “elite” as possible. FC “National” beat “Levski” 2:1 at the NSA stadium.
“After the final whistle for absolutely no reason, the goalkeeper of “National”
Stefan Mikhailov
rushes into battle
and causes moderate to severe bodily injury to our football player. In an attempt to protect him other teammates
they also happen
knocked out
with excessive aggression. As a result, Alexander Yovchev has a broken nose, Kiril Manchev has an arcade on his eyebrow and five stitches after a visit to the hospital, and Stoyan Lazarov has a broken mouth,” Levski announced in an angry statement to the attention of the BFS and the entire public. .
After that, “Levski” asked 5 questions:
1. Why did FC Nacional not provide security at the meeting, as is their duty? In the footage we publish without any editorial intervention, not a single security guard is visible! The match is played at the National Sports Academy, not in some secluded corner of Bulgaria.
2. Who allows a goalkeeper to experience himself as an MMA competitor? Where is the coach of the hosts Zhivko Petkov in this case, and is this how we educate teenagers?
3. Who allows the president of “FC Nacional” Blagomir Murtin to behave like a mutt in the dawn of democracy, to attack judges and opponents and to tolerate such behavior?
4. How can we get our children to choose sports tomorrow when their health is not protected and they become the object of ugly physical attacks that are not provoked by anything?
5. Why is “FC Nacional” allowed not to comply with the regulations of the BFS and not to provide in the system of the Electronic Championship full records of its meetings, provided that every single football club does so? Could it be that they are above the laws of the football headquarters, with which all other clubs comply? Isn’t it to cover up such vile mutren attacks?
“We insist on a quick and decisive reaction from the BFS and for the strictest punishments for all the aggressors, as well as for the host club. We are ready to refer all competent authorities to the case, because aggression has absolutely no place in football, even less so among teenagers. At “Academia Levski” we strive to build good football players, but above all good and valuable people, and any form of such aggression will be pursued by us at the cost of everything”, concludes the position of “Levski”.
Subsequently, “National” came out with a position, “strongly condemning the events”.
“First of all, we want to emphasize that
similar scenes
have no place at
the football field,
no matter who the persons involved are”, they started from the club.
Then they described their version:
During a large part of the meeting, there were frequent calls from the “Levski” coaching bench to the referees, constant demands, which led to unnecessary tension. Separately, the goalkeeper of “National” Stefan Mihailov was repeatedly cursed by a specific football player of the opponent, and in addition, he was pelted with stones by people from the stands.
After the match, our goalkeeper slowly walks across a large part of the field, goes to the “Levski” player in question and asks why he was insulted, whereupon a new portion of swearing follows. Then comes the blow and the ensuing melee.
We emphasize that we do not seek justification for the actions of our football player and he will bear the consequences for them. But we want the truth to be known…
Our club will file a complaint against the behavior of some of the Levski players and coaches. In the midst of the melee, one of the coaches of “Levski” allows himself to kick our goalkeeper, who has fallen to the ground – something that is clearly visible on the distributed video of the incident.
