Leeds starlet Iliya Gruev is hoping to transfer his form from the English side, who are close to returning to the Premier League, to the German national team. The 23-year-old midfielder spoke in his typical direct and to the point style at the Footballer of the Year ceremony. He took the second position, and in his speech he specially congratulated and highlighted the successful performance in 2023 of #1 Kiril Despodov and #2 Ivaylo Chochev.
“I loved playing with my friends when I was little. When you become a professional, you have to watch good football players as much as you can and develop and always play with confidence. It will be a shame if one day I don’t have that love for football,” he shared Elijah. He expressed his hopes with “Leeds” to climb to the Premier League. That’s the big goal, but the boy rightly noted that he can’t commit to a prediction of how he’ll do there.
“Hopefully next season I play in the strongest championship in the world. I hope to transfer my form from Leeds to the national team. Our goal should be to qualify for the World Cup. We have the players and the team to achieve something.
Our goal is to play on a big forum. The selector Ilian Iliev is doing a very good job and I think it was evident from the beginning,” Gruev also said.
