The lead specialist of the "blues" Julio Velasquez made a detailed analysis of the team's personnel situation before an important football match. During the official press conference, the Spanish coach revealed essential details about the health status of key players.
Central striker Mustafa Sangare is the main loss for the team. The specialist confirmed that the player suffered a muscle injury during the match with Sabah and will most likely miss not only the upcoming game but also the next few official matches.
Velasquez shared that the condition of the other players varies. For Kirilov, the prognosis is optimistic - he may make it to the group, with the final decision on his starting participation yet to be made. Kostadin is also recovering well, and the coach will monitor his condition over the next few days.
Another problematic player is Fabien, whose participation in the next match is in question. However, Velasquez emphasized that his situation is different from Sangare's.
Despite the personnel challenges, the coach remains calm and determined. "The absence of anyone does not worry me. I always look for a solution," the Spanish specialist stated categorically, giving young talents like Borislav Rupanov a chance to prove their qualities.
Regarding the upcoming match against Spartak (Varna), Velasquez demonstrated in-depth preparation. The team has analyzed the opponent and knows its strengths and weaknesses. "We approach humbly and firmly grounded," the coach commented.
The specialist's main message is clear - the team is motivated and aims solely for victory. Despite personnel difficulties, the players are extremely responsible and highly concentrated on the upcoming competition.
Velasquez warned that Spartak could create serious problems with free play and counterattacks. Therefore, tactical discipline will be of exceptional importance for the success of the "blues".
