The year national team had just two wins from nine matches, almost lost her practical opportunities for European and one selektsionerska head fell. So calmly we can determine the year as a zero.
Denied Berbatov

This certainly was the biggest shock for the Bulgarian football community over the year. As if suddenly the captain announced that it stops with the team and its decision is final .
He maintained the grounds for himself, but according to various information had problems with management of the BFU. Both sides, however, was not confirmed such a version, so everything remains in the field of speculation.
More importantly, after quitting the biggest star in the team now hard to find a great scorer . Good or bad, the fact is that Berbatov has made 48 goals for Bulgaria - an absolute record.
His withdrawal left huge holes in the assault on the "lions" and yet Ivelin Popov, Valeri Bojinov, Dimitar Rangelov etc. will have to try to fill it.
They were easy, while Berbatov was in the composition because it bore all negativity after a poor game in the team's attack. But now that he is outside the selection will be seen whether those listed will be able to deal with this no easy task.
Age Stoilov
Undoubtedly darkest period for the national teamthis year. In the nine months that this Anorthosis coach guided the selection had played six games. Five of them were lost, and the only tie was with South Africa.

By September all were in control and were able to swallow. However, the defeat of crippled England at Wembley with 0:4 and then the defeat of Montenegro "Vasil Levski" (0:1) overflowed the cup of patience.
Chances evrokvalifikatsiite decreased dramatically even after the second game, pessimism took peaking, and the national team looked like degraded yard.
News about the players revolved mainly around their personal lives and their football events remained in the background. Most of them were in a huge game hole from which there seems no exit.

After the collapse of confidence in the Murray Bulgarian specialists was lowered to absolute zero. Thus, heme is looking for a foreigner, but heme is not very expensive.
Stalemate was resolved by attracting Lothar Matthaus. He agreed to take salary Murray , persuade the hard contract is only until the end of qualifying and then possibly be extended and the top rolled up to work situation "tsaytnot.
The situation was ideal for Bobby Mihaylov. An additional plus for the president of BFS is that Matthew is a big name player. The only minus the German is that it has proven to be a coach.
But hardly a Mihailov cares about this because after a possible failure can be justified as always with the phrase: "Behold, I try this option, but does not work. I do my work I make it over."
Sound familiar? Sure, but let's hope that you will not hear him again soon.
Punch in the top ten or not exactlyApocalyptic forecasts for Matthew, however, initially (hopefully in the future) is not justified. The German failed to inspire the courage of the team, get him to fight again.
Charisma of his world champion football legend and give him a blank check and the fans. With good results in his debut against Wales - 1:0 as a guest - and then in control of Saudi Arabia (2:0 in Istanbul) and ensured his eternal peace of the disaffected.
But it will only until March, when the will and serious challenge for Matthew and elect him. meeting with Switzerland is crucial for both teams and determine which of them fell by the final fight.
This test is extremely important and will show what actually constitutes the appointment of German legend - hit the top ten blind or another predicted failure.
The big plus of course with Matthew that did little to inspire optimism in this less severe for the "tricolor" year. If he can lead the team to mood, which was after his debut and the end of next year, it is certainly doing his job.
From now on Herr Matthaus him are many, many difficulties . Yet it is about the heavy collision with managerial interests , pampered stars and groovy Stars and despair.
But we still only sincerely wish him success because all love the national team. Task without Berbatov will be difficult, but why his figure is not replaced by someone else? Whether you happen to be seen.
