Lokomotiv Plovdiv owner, Hristo Krucharski has taunted Tottenham after the Bulgarians refused to accept Tottenham’s offer to move their Europa League match to London.
Spurs face a serious fixture pile-up at the start of the new season as their trip to Bulgaria will be sandwiched by two Premier League games against Everton and Southampton.
The Lilywhites had the chance to move the game to London according to UEFA rules, provided that they get their opponents to agree.
They explored that option, but it was turned down by the Bulgarians who are confident that they will triumph over their illustrious opponents and Krucharski even has the confidence to taunt Spurs.
He claimed that Spurs had made him an offer to move the game to London, but he turned them down because he was sure that his team will cause an upset and it is not a matter of if they will win but a matter of by how many goals they will win.
Krucharski said via Star Sports: “There was an offer from Tottenham to play there. But I told them quickly that we don’t play for money but for pleasure.
“We are Bulgarians. We have the chance to host this match here and the match will be played on Bulgarian soil.
“The miracle is clear. That we will beat them. We will beat them. The question is by how much.
“Now everyone will start saying I am crazy, a simpleton. But this is Bulgaria. Everything happens with patience.
“If we don’t believe we can beat Tottenham, we’d better dig ourselves a grave and wait to die. We can defeat them! We’ve got 16,000 bottles to celebrate!”
