At the moment, “Leeds”, for which the Bulgarian international Iliya Gruev has been playing successfully since the beginning of the year, is unique in English football.
In the Island’s top 4 professional divisions, there is not a single other team that has conceded fewer goals in 2024.
In their 8 games in the Championship (the second tier of football in their homeland), the Yorkshiremen have won 8, scored 19 goals and only conceded 1.
The only one lucky enough to make a breakthrough in the well-arranged game of “Leicester” turned out to be “Preston” and more specifically its striker William Kane.
Gruev’s contribution to this achievement is solid. In his role as a defensive midfielder, the 23-year-old Bulgarian played in 7 of the matches in question, missing only 15 minutes due to substitution. Ilia copes well with his function of stopping dangerous opposition attacks in the bud through strong one-on-one tackles, crossing passes and masterful splits.
For his performance, our boy received a number of positive evaluations and can now be defined as a recognizable face in the “Leeds” team. On Friday, Gruev and company, who are second in the standings, host the leader “Leicester”.
