    How good was Stoichkov actually? #GOAT
    New video about one of the most talked about players we've seen over the 1990's in football. In this episode we take on Stoichkov who played for CSKA Sofia, Barcelona, Chicago Fire and Parma for most of his career.

    Stoichkov is everything football today is not. He plays for dear life, maximum effort, heart, passion. He's the guy you have to mark. The striker your passes have to find. A fantastic player. "Smashkov!"

      Stoichkov was terrible that day in Paris, though, and Marcel Desailly outplayed him. Nowhere near what he was capable of, but then again, bulgarian squad was full of brilliant players in these years and Kostadinov's last seconds goal is still the greatest moment for bulgarian football, along the matches against Germany in '94 and '95 - both outstanding comebacks. It's also when the "God is bulgarian" phrase mentioned in the video was coined by the commentator.
      As for the referee, yeah, pretty much every bulgarian will spit in his face if he meet one and got recognized. :D

    Really enjoyed the video, also little known fact is that he was at some point coach of Leo Messi in Barcelona child academy. Also the famous quote of Hristo: "Once they said they can only stop me with a pistol. Today you need a machine gun to stop Messi."
    Also as far as I know he showed a great hospitality and help a lot of youngsters in Barcelona, for example Samuel Eto'o and many others. Great person, great player.

    A very nice video, well done! The only thing I miss was you explaining what happened after he retired. He became a coach, but after a lot of unsuccessful tries, he decided to retire. Since 2016 Stoichkov is a co-owner in CSKA Sofia and works in Mexico as a commentator, I believe.
    And btw, being an owner of a football club in Bulgaria isn’t that dangerous anymore. All of the cases with the killed owners that you told about happened in the so called in Bulgaria “mafia boss years” , when killing of rich people was common

    This is arguably the most detailed characteristic video about HS8 I've seen on the internet. Double thumbs up for the big effort to gather so much and different video footage - that was really impressive for non-Bulgarian! I've seen footage I've never seen before, dude! lol
    But I have to add.. If you only knew about his "craziness" during his coaching years... And about his English Language skills... lol
    He spoke phrases which are both hilarious and scandalous.
    His feud with the president of the Bulgarian Football Federation gave birth to many flying phrases and insults that has no match. A feud which is still on to day.
    His feud with the Bulgarian sports journalism ads extra spice. Despite he lately is very opened for interviews, mostly because
    of his autobiography book he released and the clothing brand "HS8" he launched.
    Anyways, he's loved, he has a strong personality, he gave us so much joy while playing for CSKA Sofia, Bulgarian National Team and FC Barcelona. He literally put Bulgaria on the map. He's our G.O.A.T.
    Many hate him because of his "big mouth", but mostly because they are jealous for his great success. In fact he did something that probably no Bulgarian football player will ever achieve again. (I'm hoping I would be disproved!)
