A key Ludogorets footballer shared the team's strategic attitudes before the upcoming crucial match from the third preliminary round of the Champions League against Hungarian giant Ferencvaros.
During the official press conference, Ivaylo Chochev emphasized the exceptional competitiveness of the upcoming match. "We expect an extremely difficult match against an opponent with impressive individual football qualities," said the midfielder.
Chochev emphasized the professional preparation of the team, noting that the coaching staff will provide a detailed analysis of the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. "The ultimate winner will be the team that makes the least technical mistakes," predicted the player.
The footballer expressed confidence in Ludogorets' capacity to perform with dignity in the international competition. "Our team is accustomed to the high pressure of big matches," Chochev was categorical.
Special attention was also paid to the topic of the recent sale of Igor Petrovsky. "His absence will definitely be felt. He was a team leader in recent years," the midfielder admitted frankly.
Despite the sensitive loss, Chochev expressed optimism that the remaining players will compensate for Petrovsky's absence. "We rely on the collective spirit and professionalism of the entire team," he concluded.
Ludogorets' ultimate goal is to achieve a good lead that will ensure a calmer performance in the return match.
