The Bulgarians were quick to draw conclusions about APOEL after their draw with Botef Vratsa (0-0) and the fact that they did not score, even though they should have for just his first friendly.
It seems that… somewhat reassured, in view of the matches of the blue and yellow with Botev Plovdiv for the b’ round of the Conference League, judging by some reports.
Indicative is the title of the website plovdiv24.bg, which states: < em>“The devil is not so black! Botev's opponent did not score in Sofia”.
- The expression “the devil is not so black » is used (also in English) to show that someone is not after all as bad and cruel as it initially seemed. In this case, it seems that the Bulgarians probably mean that APOEL is not as difficult an opponent as they thought.
