The member of the executive council of the Bulgarian football union (BFS) and caretakker for the national teams Nasko Sirakov stated for an interview for the sports show of Darik radio that the Bulgarian team will face Eire to win. He also said that Bulgaria has nothing to fear of when facing Italy.

“We can speak of the chances of the Bulgarian team after the next two games. I think that if we don’t lose to Eire in Dublin and then win the games with Cyprus and Eire in Sofia we have a bigger chance than the Irish. Our team will, of course, go out to win over Eire”, commented Sirakov.
