Tunnel effect for Bulgaria – Topsport.bg
“We did our best, we fought. We showed character …” This was the essence of the statements of the national team after each match since the team was taken over by Yassen Petrov. The breeder restored the mood of the “lions”, talking about passion, desire, love and most of all battle. The other day, Giannini from Plovdiv announced that from now on the results will be leading for Bulgaria, the experiment is over. However, another restart of the national team began with the loss of the Qatari team, which could happen to its lower class. As if the “lions” suffer from a modified tunnel effect. Different from that in quantum mechanics, in which an elementary particle overcomes a potential barrier, provided that its energy is less than the height of the obstacle. We fight only with the choice of the tunnel, following the light, which in our case is the battle.
We stare at this battle and forget that the team must first and foremost play football. We watch our favorite “fight” and forget everything else.
Despodov confident: We will take something from Croatia tomorrow
“It hardly makes much difference who comes out against us.”
The other day in Doha, while looking for a battle with the Qatar team, we demonstrated football that is weak and untidy even for the capabilities of the home national team. We were extremely timid against the opponent. Yasen Petrov announced that this was the case in the first 15 minutes, but Bulgaria played with fear until the end of the match. And against us was a team that was ready to lose. In fact, the result does not make much sense here, but it was obvious that when Todor Nedelev and company pressed the opponent in his half, the players of Qatar panicked and immediately do not give the ball. There is another terrible question. If we play timidly against the football dwarf Qatar, how will we be against Croatia ?! And one more thing, if it is a pride that we were “not so bad” against the Arabs, what should we really expect from the national team …
Otherwise, we lost the other day due to two individual mistakes. The first was by Vasil Bozhikov and the other by Nikolai Mihailov. We are talking about ugly mistakes, which in the home Third League are sent to the bench for a long time. The bigger problem, however, was not that they scored two goals, but that we only scored one. Bulgaria has not won as a guest since 2018, and Qatar was a perfect opportunity not to fight with them, but to beat them and win with football arguments.
Hopefully the “lions” will show another face against Croatia today, because with this from the match with Qatar – nothing good awaits Bulgaria after the next restart of the national team.
