SOFIA - Bulgaria coach Krasimir Balakov and several of his players said they did not hear any racist abuse directed toward the England team on Monday during their side’s 6-0 defeat in a Euro 2020 qualifier that was twice halted by the referee.
“It’s a very delicate subject,” said former midfielder Balakov, part of the Bulgaria side that reached the semi-finals at the 1994 World Cup in the United States, who has accused England of having a bigger racism problem than his own country. Bulgarian Football Union vice-president Yordan Lechkov added: “It’s quite disappointing to focus on racism. It’s not serious to concentrate on that if there’s a qualifier like this and we’re playing against a team like England.”
Balakov also explained his comments on Sunday that England had a bigger racism problem than Bulgaria.
