Sport News:Black Sea coach Ilian Iliev ready to led his team to the capital Sofia ahead CSKA and Sofia match

Black Sea coach Ilian Iliev led his team to the capital, where tomorrow evening the "sailors" will face CSKA - Sofia in a direct match for second place. The Varna specialist spoke to Sportal bg little more than 24 hours before the game at the Vasil Levski National Stadium.

What do you expect from the match with the "reds"?

- We are coming to Sofia with the mindset that a difficult match awaits us. CSKA's style changed for the better after the change of coach. Their last match proved it, they had a lot of chances, they showed an offensive game, so I expect a very difficult match. We have to be extremely aggressive defensively, as CSKA has good players who can cause us a lot of problems.

- I don't want to talk so much and comment on the opposing team, we have our own style of play. CSKA is certainly not a team that likes to defend, so we will try to make it difficult for them.

That's right, we sent a request to the Sports and Technical Commission of the Football Union. Our wish was that our match with CSKA be replaced by the one between CSKA 1948 and Botev (Plovdiv), the two matches are close in time. Two matches from the first six are being played today, which start at 16:00 and 18:30, although there is also a lot of spectator interest in them, as they said about our match with CSKA. And it turns out that we play one day later, the match is later, we leave Sofia at 11:00 p.m., we will return to Varna at 5:00 a.m. on Friday, and we have the next match on Sunday. We are certainly not equal. To be fair, I think it was normal for them to consider that we do not have the physical possibility to fly to Varna and recover for the next match, considering that we play on Thursday. We are disappointed. Some justified themselves with television, others with the program and the great interest. I think that at 17:45 the audience interest would not have dropped so much, but it is not the first time we have done this thing. The bad thing is that we have a game in less than two days.

No, no, nonsense... We must not be fooled. An extremely difficult match awaits us tomorrow. I hope the footballers also appreciate it as such. The most important thing is not to assume that this is some game of the season, final, etc. As I said, two days later we have another fight. We have to play the match free of tension - yes, we have to be aggressive, but not get into a "movie" that almost the entire season of the Black Sea depends on these 90 minutes. Whatever happens in this game, there's tomorrow and nobody can undo what we've done so far.

There is time until the start of the national team training camp. I would not like to comment in detail now. That's two controls, and then there's plenty of time until September. If you are called now and others are not, this in no way guarantees that it will be so in the future. As for the names you mentioned - Ivaylo Chochev is a great boy, he just recently lost his playing rhythm in his club team. Stanislav Ivanov is also in our sights, the doors are open for him.
