During the visit of Spain in Sofia for the world qualification with Bulgaria, several Spanish journalists had the opportunity to be divorced from the “Hall of Fame” of Hristo Stoichkov Personally from the legend of Barcelona. The Messenger of AS, Joaquin Mato, tells in his material how the visit to the museum went.
Expectedly, the attention of journalists was attracted by the two referee cards in the exposition, a gift from former Spanish referee Urisar Aspitarte. It was he who was the subject of Stoichkov’s cult occurrence during an El Classic, which brought him several months of punishment. “Urisar is part of my long career. We decided to lend a hand and forgive. He first kicked Johan Cruyff while the match was tense, so I asked him to reassure me. I applauded him and then he kicked me down,” Kamama recalled.
Stoichkov did not fail to complain with the eternal rival of Barcelona. “What you will not see in my museum is Real Madrid T-shirt. Even the toilets here are not white,” he noted, making a sharp commentary on the former Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo: “Look, here is my al-Noser T-shirt.
Another great Bulgarian footballer was also present on the tour – Krasimir Balakov. “Stoichkov has never understood how you can be on the field and not want to play with the ball. So he doesn’t like the judges, but he approves Var,” he said with a smile for his ex -teammate.
“I like it, but the system is abused. It would be much better with two small changes: to use only in the four cases for which it is intended and to have a former football player in the room. We know how to recognize whether the hand is in a natural position and we can read by the faucet, because it is not worth it. Sport “Stoichkov added:” Barcelona is better than Madrid. “
