“We were a little nervous. We had about ten minutes when we made a lot of mistakes and lost every ball. This is a problem we have to solve in the next three days. Without pressing the opponent, we gave them too many balls and we have to reduce that to a minimum. Congratulations to the guys, everyone did his best. The commitment was not absent, but we have to correct some mistakes”, said Petev and added:

“We have Gazibegović who played his first official match for the national team today and two young players in defence, so we need a little time. Maybe that’s the reason for a game like this, the team is young. I am satisfied, because we scored a goal in the end, if it was the other way around, I would not be satisfied. In the second half, we changed the rhythm a bit with substitutions, we played better and, in the end, we managed to equalize.”
