Last Chance for Bulgarian Euro honor this season 25.08.2011

CSKA and Steaua Bucharest and go tonight in the return match of UEFA Cup tournament. The meeting is the last real chance to break the Bulgarian team this season in European club tournaments.

As is known, "CSKA" lost 0:2 with the first meeting, which was played in Cluj. The result then could be another. On the one hand, Romanians made many other omissions in the first half, but Liverpool could in turn to score, especially when striking omission of Yannis Ziku the last minute.

Currently there are no other chance to command Milen Radukanov but to seek the defeat a victory. Moreover, the coach himself yesterday refused to not go into today's match.

Fortunately for Milen Radukanov, ponamalyaha problems before him. With injuries during the week frightened all "red" as central Bulgaria striker Michel Platini and captain Todor Yanchev who even resort to the services of Serbian Mariana healer. Both, however, are ready and will appear as principals.

Thus, compared with the first match Radukanov likely make only one change. Gregory Nelson will return to the starting lineup, taking place from one or Rumen Trifonov Adhemar. More likely to sit on the Brazilian bench.

Another question is who to replace injured central defender Apostol Popov. In the first match play new signing Dennis Halilovich. There is a chance in the game to appear and Paul Vidanov, but Slovenian has a chance.

At the same time in camp Steaua problems are many. Almost all the incumbent defense team has injuries and coach Roni Levy will have to experiment with overOra players in that area tonight. He can not count on George Galamaz, Novak Martinovic and Gabriel Matthew, as the absence of both right full backs probably will force coach to return to this area Bane Nikolitsa wing.

To top it all, grand entry, and an embarrassing loss with a 1:2 from Astra (Ploiesti) in the last round of the Romanian championship. It is these problems must use CSKA.

The success will try to help the fans. About 18,000 tickets were sold yesterday. Given that sold most notably gaps in the day of the match, we can safely expect between 25 and 30 000 spectators at the National Stadium, which will surely become a hell for meeting guests.
