It looks like a boiling “cauldron”. Botev a few 24 hours before the rematch with Panathinaikos for its second qualifying round Europa League.
Specifically, the coach of the Plovdiv team, Dushan Kerkezwith his statements at the press conference after the 2-2 draw against Lokomotiv made an important revelation.
The Bosnian coach revealed that after the match with Panathinaikos at OAKA, the girlfriend of one of the team’s footballers had taken their dog for a walk and someone threw a tomato at her!
In fact, he made it clear that he will stand by his players and if he had to leave today he would!
In detail what he said about this incident:
“I want to tell you something. When we played the match against Panathinaikos, something happened and I am very disappointed. I feel at home here in Plovdiv. I have respect for Botev fans. When I leave, I will never forget this city and this club.
But after the match with Panathinaikos, a friend of one of our players was walking and someone threw a tomato at her in Plovdiv, maybe that person was drunk, but I think people should understand that when we blame someone, it can be done by another person start throwing tomatoes like that, it might happen to my wife…
I know true Botev fans wouldn’t do something like that, I don’t know, he might be a fan of another team, but that’s a fact and for me it can’t happen in Plovdiv. I will stand by my players and if necessary, I am ready to leave today!
Just because someone made a mistake in a game, other people have to throw tomatoes at his wife. This is a mockery. This can only happen in Bulgaria and Serbia. Only in our countries. We want to be in Europe, how can we go to Europe like this?”
