"Levski is a team with an extremely rich history. One of the two most popular teams in the country. I'm sorry, that the match will be played in front of empty stands, because football is a game for fans, but that is the solution. The opponent has great players, some of whom have played abroad and in the national team. We look forward to the meeting, because such matches are useful for the development of a team. We are disappointed, because our series of several games without a loss ended in Plovdiv. I can not say, that we performed strongly in this match, but the players showed spirit and desire to fight for a good result to the end, "Pirin manager Warren Feeney told www.fcpirin.com.
