Lokomotiv Plovdiv coach Dushan Kosich emphasized the significance of the upcoming Bulgaria Cup final against CSKA, expressing his team's readiness to face any scenario, including a penalty shootout. Speaking at a press conference before the match scheduled for 7 PM at the National Stadium "Vasil Levski," Kosich highlighted the importance of the final. "It's an honor to play in front of a full stadium for anyone connected with football. We will do everything in our power to win the cup," he stated.
Kosich also addressed the potential challenges of playing in a noisy stadium, noting that the noise might make it difficult for players to hear instructions. "We work to be part of such matches. It's crucial for the atmosphere to be peaceful, without any excesses," he added. He reiterated that there is no magic recipe for success, only hard work and discipline.
The coach also confirmed that the recently transferred halfback Georgi Chorbajiski from CSKA will not be eligible to play in tomorrow's match due to a clause in the agreement between the two clubs. "The situation with Georgi Chorbajiski is tough. He won't be able to participate in the match tomorrow. We gave him two days of rest and are expecting him for the next game. He is an important part of our team," Kosich concluded.
