Nothing new under the Razgrad sun

And so it is at school: since there is nothing interesting and new, the teacher returns, the old material is negotiated, and in the end he can test. We have noticed several times our amazement at how the European sports media analyze the same thing each time, which is repeated with a certain cyclicality. During Guardiola’s stage in Barcelona it was not easy for his teammates from Mundo Deportivo every week, even twice a week writing about how the Catalan team with tiki-ta crushes everything and does not even give the ball to others to play a little . And the British? Is it the same with Klopp from Liverpool? And in Germany with Bayern it’s the worst.

That is why we have been wondering for several months how to start writing after an important match in Ludogorets. We spin, we suck, we confuse the actions with special phrases and artistic expressions, but at some point things happen to repeat the material, like in school.

Nothing new under the Razgrad sun, this is not an appropriate title, because someone will literally get caught and notice that the game with Tottenham is played under artificial lighting. If we write “Sun”, because of the capital letter, someone will immediately think that the Sun King is the object of personal attention and criticism. In fact, the sun is a way of ruling in Razgrad.

As Zevzets pointed out, Ludogorets played well again until the first goal. It was clear that the opponent would take it seriously. José Mourinho never jokes about football.

You remember Bruno Akrapovich, who had not slept after the game with Tottenham this summer in Plovdiv, after the Portuguese manager told him how much he knew about Loko. And certainly Mourinho has explored the Ludogorets in even finer detail, because as he himself pointed out, 9 titles in a row, this is not a joke.

José jumped like a scalding with hot water in the second 20 of the game in Razgrad and began to wave and gesture, because apparently some of the intelligence did not correspond to reality. And in just one minute, Harry Kane was in a hundred percent position. As we have pointed out in recent months, Ludogorets are absent from matches in the first minutes. We will not negotiate much of the material, we will notice the most striking: Loko Plovdiv made 3 goal positions in Razgrad during the first 15 minutes of the match.

Prince Harry had obviously decided to score his 200th goal for Tottenham in Razgrad and probably these days he was told that at first Ludogorets didn’t have them at all, so after a while he hit the crossbar and a little later the third time. , the launcher broke. .

The problem with delayed start, as if it were a washing machine or other kitchen appliance, in Razgrad was clearly seen in Pavel Varba, it does not change in Stanislav Genchev.

In general, it was now much easier for Tottenham than for Lauta. Ludogorets had to play as Loko in a bind, Akrapovich correctly approached this because an English team wants spaces, not like a Spanish team to break through. But the problem with Ludogorets is that he cannot play thickly, he cannot pick up the lines. Over the years, the Razgrad team has always played openly, even against the biggest teams in Europe. But there are times when the situation simply requires it. Plamen Iliev’s third goal at the gate, his teammates will understand in a week In a second, five players in white faced 4 in green and this is the 35 meter in front of the Ludogorets gate, which is unacceptable. Tottenham made a brutal overflow, the difference in these 2-3 seconds was cosmic. And for the most part, the English team played to a maximum of 40 percent of their potential. Even the average Bulgarian taxpayer might wonder why the public BNT broadcasts Tottenham training at the most watched moment.

Overall, Thursday night’s Ludogorets were the total antithesis of Ludogorets at San Siro this year, when Pavel Varba’s team scored a goal for Inter after nearly 40 consecutive passes. Now that has nothing to do with it. And we dare to say that soon there will be none, only players and coaches change, and there is no development. Ludogorets continues to descend and moves further and further away from its highest point. And it is no coincidence that in three games in the Europa League groups, their rivals created some 30 goal positions.
