Ivaylo Petev, head coach of “the greens”, was the more criticizing one in his analyze about the game. “We played a valuable friendly that mattered. We played against a strong team which doesn’t need an introduction. We played as I wanted us to play, as we did up to the present moment, and as I’d like us to play in the spring half-season. What I didn’t like was that we missed some goal attempts during the first half-time and we let a simple goal to be scored in the second part.”, said Ivaylo Petev.
