The coach of “Levski” Stanislav Genchev officially announced that the goalkeeper Plamen Andreev will be sold to the giant from the Netherlands “Feyenoord” and this will become a fact at the latest tomorrow, when the summer transfer window closes.
The transfer is expected to bring the “blues” 1.5 million euros. The 19-year-old guard is a youth player for the “Blues” and so the work at the school will bring significant income to the club.
“Plamen Andreev will have a finalized transfer to Feyenoord tomorrow at the latest.” We didn’t think of a substitute, this offer surprised us. If there is a goalkeeper available, we would react because the transfer window is closing. If not, we will rely on the available goalkeepers,” said Genchev at a press conference before tomorrow’s visit to Varna against “Spartak”.
“I personally doubt that “Spartak” will change after Tomas (the coach moved to CSKA). Whoever comes in 2 days will not make big changes. We are ready for any option. For the second match we will have to play against a team that is changing the coach. We have to play our game, our discipline, our requirements. If we do that, we will come out as winners,” commented Genchev.
“Only Mitkov will not be available. He received a minor injury that will not allow him to play. CSKA are certainly the more favored team from this change. We have 3 away games in a row, but it’s not a problem for us. More importantly, for CSKA, the situation does not correspond to the quality of their players. The new coach will have 7 weeks and two breaks for national teams to get them into a rhythm. I don’t know where this idea to switch the 8th and 12th round came from, why not the 10th or 14th, I don’t know.
At the moment, CSKA are profitable from this change. It had to be played either according to the program or at the beginning of the draw, when it was seen that there was a concert, then the matches should be changed. I heard an interesting suggestion to change the circles in the second half of the season. Why not do that. We and “Botev” (Pd) are the most damaged. We have three away games, they have four,” continued the coach.
“I mean the footballers have always trained hard every week. And now it was. Maybe on the day of the Heber match there was some underestimation. I demand because I know they can do more. If they couldn’t, I wouldn’t ask for anything. I would have been satisfied with the three points and a 1-0 win. But they can do more. You will see at the match. There are no reserves and starters. “Spartak” (Varna) has a good team. I hope that after the match we will not talk about the referee, but about football merits. This break for national teams will be good for us to be able to work more, to have two training sessions. We will be able to improve some things that the indicators show that we are lagging behind. I hope we win, because after victory it is much easier to work. Matej Markovic is completely healthy, in good condition. I have no worries. Ivan Andonov returns to the training process from tomorrow. Ognyan Vladimirov will be in the group as a reserve option. We do not count on the opponent to be weak, but on us to play well and come out as winners. I don’t care about anything else.
It can be affected both negatively and positively by the change. Each cast brings a positive charge to the team. It is more important what we do, we have a better team and better players. The outcome of the match depends on us. We will always play with three central defenders. We do not take special measures for any football player, including Ahmed Akhmedov. If we all play together in attack, we will have more opportunities for success”, concluded Genchev.
