One of the most popular midfielders in our championship – Ivaylo Chochev, admitted when he officially introduced himself as a new player of “Ludogorets” that he wanted to make a transfer from CSKA 1948 two and a half years ago.
The technical director of the champions, Kozmin Motsi, explained at the press conferences that the attempts during this period to attract the national player have hit a stone. After the green light from Bistrica, “Ludogorets” and Chochev understood each other very quickly.
“I feel good. I think two and a half years ago we came into contact. Even then I wanted to come, but they could not come to an agreement with my previous club CSKA 1948, otherwise I had already given my consent. I am coming here to become a champion , to win the cup and to play in the European tournaments.
Yes, of course it will be difficult. It is good for every football player and he dreams of playing in European tournaments (During this season, Chochev will not be able to, as the deadline for being registered in UEFA has expired – n.b.)but it is good that the team has a lot of games in the league, we are fighting for the cup, so there are a lot of games for everyone and I think I can help in these two remaining tournaments.
I think I am coming to a team that is quite well known in Europe. The best team in Bulgaria, with the best players. It is an honor for every football player to play in the best teams,” said Ivaylo Chochev.
