Since the beginning of the year, Iliya Gruev has played in 33 matches for his club team “Leeds” and the national team of Bulgaria. They are distributed on 4/29.

In those 33 games, the defensive midfielder has kept his sides clean in a decidedly impressive 19.

The coefficient of one “dry” net every 3 matches can be called standard. However, if it’s one out of every 2 fights, the achievement is huge.

Everything up is incredible, namely Gruev reached this level with the two matches of Bulgaria in the League of Nations, in which no goal was allowed – 0:0 with Belarus and 1:0 over Northern Ireland. The exact percentage is 57.6.

Ilia Gruev is certainly enjoying his best football year. This is what leedsunited.news writes in a material about the 24-year-old Bulgarian midfielder.

According to him, Ilya’s statistics make him irreplaceable for “Leeds” and our national team.

“He may not have done the ‘wow’ thing when he arrived in Daniel Farke’s squad a year ago, but the stats associated with him are spectacular. His role on the pitch is underrated as he doesn’t do anything that jumps out of the box .

But Gruev’s intelligence, combativeness and passing accuracy are crucial for Leeds and Bulgaria in blocking the attack of the opposing team,” leedsunited.news also writes.
