Bulgarian soccer legend Dimitar Berbatov gave an exclusive interview to Gong.bg, in which he commented on the tie in the Europa League. A little earlier today, fate ordered in a match of the second qualifying round of the Lokomotiv Plovdiv tournament to face in “Lauta” not anyone but the great English Tottenham, but Gong.bg We are looking for perhaps the most suitable interlocutor on the subject.
Hello, Mr. Berbatov. In the end, fate determined that José Mourinho and company stood up in Plovdiv, what do you think after the draw?
– This is good news for Bulgarian football in general, especially for Lokomotiv Plovdiv, because they will have the opportunity to compete with a very good European team. We know what kind of players there are, we know who the Tottenham manager is, so it will be a difficult test for Lokomotiv Plovdiv. Tottenham is the favorite, sure, but we all love surprises, so you can get one in this case, you know.

The English are preparing for an expressive victory and the Bulgarians are happy to find a team of this caliber. How big do you think the gap is between national and foreign football?
– The gap is there and it is big, we all know it. Tottenham fans are joking because they come to Bulgaria and think it will be easy for them, but in reality it will not. At least I hope the Lokomotiv Plovdiv guys will make life difficult for Tottenham, so that watching the game will be interesting for me. Not to be a unilateral party in which one attacks, the other defends. The Lokomotiv Plovdiv has nothing to lose, and who knows, someone may deserve a surprising move abroad this way. If you show a good game, they will see you.
However, everything is decided in a single meeting, so miracles are not excluded. Do you think Lokomotiv Plovdiv is capable of a small football miracle?
– Why not? Of course, Tottenham is a clear favorite in the match and there will probably be winners at the end, but don’t stop waiting. I wish Lokomotiv Plovdiv success. I will watch the game, it will be difficult for them, especially without an audience. This is the biggest disadvantage in this case. This reduced the possibilities that they had if there were an audience, since it would be an interesting experience for everyone present. But this is football, let’s not forget it. No matter how minimal the chances are, there are some. And while there are, you have to believe!

On which side will you watch the game, which team will you support?
“My past with Tottenham is there and it cannot be erased.” In my time, they have won the only trophy so far. I have said many times that it is time for them to win something. Anyway, your goal is to win this tournament. I follow them and wish them success. On the other hand, as a Bulgarian, I cross my fingers that Bulgarian teams perform well, so I will watch and enjoy. I hope they have prepared the field in perfect condition, so that the ball can go, not bounce. Let’s hope we witness a good game and see what happens at the end, we cross our fingers. Perhaps Loko Plovdiv will surprise everyone, no matter how small the probability.
