Ludogorets Razgrad: The Most Hated Club in Europe?
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 11. 2020
- Ludogorets Razagrad have won nine consecutive Bulgarian First League titles, competing in both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, since being taken over by millionaire owner Kiril Domuschiev.
Ludogorets success has been shrouded in controversy though, in a league that has historically been rife with corruption and scandal.
In this short documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at the rise of Ludogorets Razgrad and why the club is so unpopular in Bulgaria. - Sport
I would do my university assignments but im going to spend my Tuesday morning watching a documentary about Bulgarian football
I was going to do my Malay essay, but a Sevens doc is more important.

Alfie. Just one wrong thing. Last year Ludogorets had an unbeaten campaign until the final day where thay lost to a mediocre team so their rivals couldn't qualify for the Europa League. Those rivals are also financially unstable and could've really used the money
Тогава Левски ако си бяха взели мача срещу нас, които не играехме за нищо след спечелената купа нямаше да има значение резултата на рязаните
@@WHOTFUCK фактор играе и футболистите, които играха без желание..
Хем е така, хем не е. Домуса си опропасти шанса да завърши сезон без загубен мач срещу Славия, която могат да бият както си искат, но и самия Наско Сираков много не желаеше да играем в Европа. Вярно щяхме да вземем някакви къси пари от участие, но вероятно щяха и да лъснат някои неприятни неща пред УЕФА. :D
“Their rivals couldn’t qualify for the Europa League”
Bro, Levski and Ludogorets are not rivals. CSKA are the only rivals of Ludogorets!
@@asentseto Levski and CSKA are their rivals cuz they're the only big teams that have/had a chance to win the league
I used to work with a Bulgarian guy, his name was Atanas Dimov and turns out he used to coach Ludogorets reserves a while ago. I found him doing a press conference online for Bulgarian TV. Obviously I was amazed but he didn't really seem bothered. From football coach to unloading lorries!
I'm from a tiny country with a shitty little semi-pro football league and many of our foreign players are Bulgarians. Most of them would play anywhere except in their country because they are fed up with everything that's happening in their football.

If only you knew my friend. At my old job (warehouse, doing the grocceries for bigger shops and stores), we had a former mug, mob captain unloading our lorries, a thief that has sentences in atleast 6 countries for stealing and a former football player who earned something among the lines of 10k, but now was earning 1000k.

@@ismailniyaz5167 Darn, I wish some club from my country's dogshit league would've gotten hold of Berbatov when he was young
A very nice video, thank you a lot! And actually here is some back story of Kiril Domuschiev-when growing up, he was a CSKA fan(even though I don’t consider him as such after what he has done to our club). At some point when CSKA Sofia’s owners were a company called TITAN, who almost killed the club btw, Domuschiev was a part of the board directors or something and his job was something to do with finances. At some point when he discovered that TITAN’s model was wrong, he went to the owners and asked them to buy the club, saying that he had an idea how to turn CSKA into a big team once again and his management of the club would involve fewer spending and most importantly-smart spending of money. The owners however rejected his offer and said that they need more money from him, in order to give him the ownership of the club. Then he said something like ,,OK, OK then...I will satisfy myself with Ludogorets...”
What you've written here is partially correct but there are several inaccuracies, in my opinion. He was indeed part of the board of directors/supervisory board or whatever you want to call it, but in more of a consulting role rather than hands-on operations in terms of running the club. As far as I know, he was offered the majority ownership (he never actually asked any of the owners to buy CSKA) of the club at least once, and he refused every single time to take it. And the reason for this is very simple - he just doesn't want the pressure that comes from media and fans. On top of that CSKA was piling massive debt at the time and the initial investments would've been enormous compared to what he invested in Ludogorets. He just wanted to take a club from ground zero and manage it according to his vision, possibly turning a profit somewhere down the line, which was deemed unattainable for one of two biggest clubs in Bulgaria several years ago. For him actively participating in Bulgarian football is simply business and a medium to satisfy his personal ambitions.

I’m a second generation Bulgarian-American in the US and I’ve found it amazing that you’re covering Bulgarian football to the extent that you are.
Furthermore, my local team is the Richmond Kickers, the third division US team mentioned at 13:57.
Please stop stalking me, Alfie.
Does your local team play in USL League One?
American soccer teams have the worst names in world football..
@@shaun7389 Their American style names like San Jose Earthquakes or Seattle Sounders are always criticized. If they have European style names, like Real Salt Lake or Sporting Kansas City, they will also be criticized. Heck, they're even criticized for having 'boring' names like Minnesota United, Atlanta United FC or St. Louis City SC.
In conclusion: There is no way you can give a name to an MLS team and expect it not to be criticized.

They certainly are the most hated club in Bulgaria, but they are too insignificant to be the most hated club in Europe.

Just the last gameweek Levski lost 1-0 to Ludogorets to a stupid offside call behind the middle of the field, also the tv scandal is correct and Domuschiev is a criminal who launders his money through the club although they develop youth players and have top 3 academy in the country. Great video which gave me as a bulgarian some perspective of our country, but the next generation has a lot of talent(we had a player in the man city youth academy) but the young footballers are not interested in football as much as they should be.
Domuschiev is also producing drugs and selling them through the pharmaceutical company.

@@Ron.S. Our country actually has a lot of immigrants in the UK, but I think that the standard of living in the bigger cities is actually really nice. Bulgaria has a bad reputation in all of the UK because of the rasicm scandal.

Bulgaria is a very nice country liked by a lot of tourists, but corruption and the government ruin our country.
Bulgaria looks a beautiful country and full of passionate people , such a shame the gangsters steal all the wealth, i hope they flushed out along with the dodgy politicians , they have always `produced some special footballers over the years , they will be back hopefully
Good story - years ago in the 2nd tier of Bulgarian football there was a match . 3-3 and in the 92th minute the coach puts on very young lad to get his first match for the first team. A lazy long ball by the keeper into the opposition half two bounces and the ball comes to the youngster. He tries an absurd 35 meter backscissors shot...and scores an absolute stupendous goal! The referee blows the final whistle. Everyone jumps on the young player...to beat him.
The match was set up to be a draw. The kid never played again.

Brilliant content as usual regarding you're documentary style videos.
In fact some of the players that used to play for Bulgaria at the 1994 World Cup when Bulgaria reaches the semi final are quite guilty for that decline. Borislav Mihaylov, who is Levski Sofia legend and was the goalkeeper saving 2 of the penalties against Mexico in 1994, was a president of BFU until last year when Bulgaria lost with 6-0 by England and he resigned, Emil Kostadinov, who is former CSKA and Bayern Munich player also big part of the 1994 tean, is vice-president and Yordan Letchkov, who is former CSKA and Hamburger playrr, also part of the 1994 team is a member of the executive committee of BFU.
In Poland we are also questioning Zbigniew Boniek's ability to govern PZPN, albeit we aren't at the situation Bulgaria has.
@@luishernandezblonde a fantastic player he was! We remember him well in Bulgaria!
@@SKa-tt9nm In Poland we missed Hristo Stoichkov much, he's popular here too.
yeah, these Bulgarian legends actually played a big part in ruining football in this country
He beat Berbatov to POTY he must be some player looks like he moves less than Berbatov did on the pitch
You can check on CZcams there is a video that shows his ‘’qualities”😂
Berbatov is a genius, like, literally having a very high IQ.
He was able to see the game in a Matrix like way( like all Elite Athletes) with Abstract Thinking, ability to read players body language etc With the high intellect and His peak talent and skill.
Due to his superior spatial awareness and forward thinking( Chess Master knowing your next 4-8 moves) depending on each direction he went or what first touch would take Berbatov into the Optimum opportunity to score.
Mixed with his natural flair in front of goal.
It gave him a Mental, Spiritual, physical, psychological sporting edge over 90% of the Defences.
Sadly, Berbatov was looked on as being a lazy player at times, but in reality, he had little EGO and just knew when the best chances of scoring were and didn't have to run around all the time to find them, they, the chances would find Berbatov.....
Criminally underrated to this day.

These features you do are some of the best football videos on youtube. Anyone can set up a highlight reel video but you have an interest in the less glamorous sides of things and its very much appreciated
I am Bulgarian, everything here is true... Unfortunately...
Totally spot on, good video! Cheers mate!!!
As a Bulgarian, I thought this was going to be just another video where there would be a lot of trash talking and hate about Bulgaria most of which would have nothing to do with the truth. Well, I couldn't be more wrong. Very well done video, a lot of facts and correct statements and no hateful comments just for the sake of it. Congrats to the uploader, good job!
There are two interesting facts about Ludogorets most people don't know about:
1. In 1964 Lev Yashin and his Dynamo Moscow team went to Razgrad during a run of friendly games across Bulgaria. The entire stadium was full, just like how the stadium was full when Inter came to Razgrad. History repeats itself.
2. In 1984 they reached the Cup of The Soviet Army semi-final, losing 5-4 on penalties to Dorostol Silistra.
Pffff hahahaha😂😂😂😂
,,Their stadium was full”
In the 60s their stadium was something like 4000 seats are you stupid
@@asentseto Still counts!
@@randomchannel1TM you also didn’t say that when Bulgaria was in the period of 1944-1989 the interest toward football was 5 times as much as it is now, so the stadiums were FULL! The capacity of the national stadium Vasil Levski is 35/40 000 people. When CSKA played against Bayern Munich for the semi-final of the ECC, there were 70 000 watching! Combine this with the fact that Lev Yashin is coming to Bulgaria and of course there will be 4000 people.
@@asentseto Абсолютно прав си. Сега стадионите са празни, защото първенството ни е селско. Никой не иска да гледа отбори като Ботев Враца и Царско село
0:26 a lot of people in Bulgaria would disagree that this was the peak of Bulgarian football.For some of the older people in our country, Bulgarian football actually peaked in the 60s. At that time we had players like Georgi Asparuhov-Gundi, who you already made video about, Peter Zhekov(Golden Boot winner), Dimitar Yakimov(called the Bulgarian Garrincha and touted as the best Bulgarian player ever by Gundi himself), Ivan Kolev(finished 8th for the Ballon dor) and other legends like Dimitar Penev, Georgi Naydenov, Dinko Dermendzhiev, Ivan Vutsov, Boris Gaganelov, who are not as popular of non-Bulgarians. This team managed to qualify for 4 straight World Cups(from 1962 to 1974) and at that time qualifying for a World Cup was harder, because fewer teams played in it.
Actually small amount of people would disagree but there are people that would do ir
Arguably the peak was at June 2, 1970 at 49 minute leading 2-0 vs Peru. Should they had held on and won that game, history would be different. They didn't and won their first game at world cup finals in 1994, having been somewhat lucky but also beating Germany later in that competition. Something they fail to do in 1970, losing 2-5 after leading in that game too.
The 1970 team was more talented but had no end product and failed to win a single game.
Yeah, those people are stupid and want to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. They don’t want to admit that communism held Bulgarian player development back by not allowing them to play in the west. 1994 was by far the peak.
I love Gundi but he played in 2 world cups and scored one goal. Bulgaria was routinely routed in the World Cup throughout the 60 and never won a match.
Meanwhile, in ‘94, we had 2 players in the all-world 11 team, second only to Brazil. Bulgaria beat the last two World Cup winners - Argentina and Germany. Golden boot winner. Golden ball winner. In the early to mid 90s, Stoichkov’s dream team won la liga 4x and he lifted a champion league trophy, the first one ever for Barcelona. Kostadinov’s Porto team dominated Portugal. In ‘95 luboslav penev’s athletico won the double and he led the team with 22 goals. Trifon Ivanov’s team was dominating Austria. Bulgarians were making Mother Bulgaria proud all over the world.

Thank you for this video. I was pleasantly surprised to see a video about Bulgarian football on your channel! Your commentary was 🔥 I laughed so much.
Would love a video about Hungarian football's decline, too!
After the Mighty Magyars and good match attendances until 1965, Hungary's best league went from 14k+ attendances to
Hey, Hungarian here. I can only talk about todays attandances, but I think the decline of fans going to matches is about that they made the league smaller (only 12 team 33 matches a year) and many big older clubs such as győri ETO, Sopron, Kecskemét, PMFC, Nyíregyháza are in the 2nd division and many newer clubs such as Puskás Akadémia, Kisvárda, mezokovesd which are small Towns are in the First Division with really low population and interest in football
hungaria is good now.
@@coolbian513hell nah, only ftc is good. But at least we have decent amount of fans this season
The truth is somewhere in the middle really.
On one hand while their owner is a member of the football union, as he is not the only owner there, which is baffling really, and there such that are a lot more vocal then him, and that are downright disgusting - like the one of Slavia Sofia. In terms of organizational level, they are probably the one team in Bulgaria that actually has a strategy and a plan on how to run a club, and are the only one with actual finances for a... relatively high quality players, at least by Bulgarian standards. They are also currently the country's best option when it comes to having a team in international club tournaments (of course, traditionally CSKA Sofia have also been good there - including this year so far, again by Bulgarian standards).
On the other hand, even as a person who does not really care about Bulgarian football all that much (I have no club preferences here), even I can see that some of their titles were not really... cleanly won. While they are playing the best over all, when there had to be a close call in the title race, they have had what could easily be described as help.
Something else that is factor when it comes to the hate they get - Bulgarian fans are very loyal to their old clubs, and anything that challenges them is pretty much the antichrist to a lot of them, regardless of whether their team was beaten fair or not.
Ludogoretz are in a way a necessary evil - they have not always been clean, they have no history (which, in general when it comes to clubs, is a really stupid argument to invalidate them), they have more money then probably the rest of the teams combined in recent years, and yet they are still the closest that Bulgaria has to a properly managed football club. Yes, it is sad.
Wow, that's way worse then I thought. Glad to see there's a worse Footballing system then in Israel though.
Just one thing to add more to that - Ludogorerz were probably averaging a 3-4 bulgarian born players though out the season ( not sure about this season as i lost interest in Bulgaria club level) which doesn't rly help to our national team 😂
@@TheTermond Good point. I haven't really watched BG club level recently too (same as you, I just find it to be a waste of time), but in the recent years, the other grands would have focused on imports too if they had the money. The sad reality is that almost every transfer window there are so many player rotations, and new players coming in (especially to the other 2 traditional big teams Levski and CSKA), there is little chance for a core of a team to stay together and improve. While this is happening, it's harder to get new players on a high enough level consistently.
While you can blame them for that, they are still just doing what others would have done too - simply because it is allowed.
In my opinion the Football union should put new rules like in Germany or Russia (from what I know), for a minimum number of Bulgarian/academy players in every match.
From memory, I think there was an idea like that here, but just not sure if it ever came into fruition.
P.S: Still not sure about the rule, as I mentioned, so please correct me if I'm wrong it got implemented.
Also, what I said about the other 2 big teams - while CSKA has historically offloaded the most (or at least some of the most) Bulgarian players into other EU countries, it too has had some years where is it was buying imports by the dozens, which is what I tried to express earlier. Same goes for Levski too, an while both teams do have more Bulgarian players now, one can't help but wonder if that would have been the case if they more financially stable.
The whole reason behind their logic, is that they simply cannot wait - there is no long term plan, but just trying to buy what would get you immediate results, and unfortunately for all, those results are not often good.
@@TheTermond Considering Bulgarian youth loses 10-0 Belgium, while the proper national team has an 18-match winless streak, you can see why Ludogorets don't use Bulgarian players.
I also recommend you check how many Brits start for the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City, or how many Spaniards for Real Madrid.
Dear HITC Seven, you are doing God’s work! This video is journalistic accountability. We need our media to shine light on corruption and abuses of power and this goes all the way to the top. People outside of Bulgaria may not care, but I hope some within Bulgaria, or close to Bulgarian football see this and it spurs them on to make change.

I’ve seen some people in the comments talking about how Levski and CSKA both hate Ludogorets equally, but I will argue with that. Most of the Levski fans don’t like Ludogorets and what they have done to our football, but there their hate is no where near as the hate of the CSKA fans. You can even search in Google of choreographies of Sektor G(from 2017,2020 and more not directly at Domuschiev), which show the hate of the CSKA fans toward Domuschiev. On one of the choreos the owner of Ludogorets had his head nailed on a sword by some imperator and under that scene it said ,,YOUR GOD ENDS HERE!”. This was a 2 months ago. On the other choreo from 2017 made by Sektor G, Domuschiev was shown how he is using his 3 companies to steal the CSKA emblem, but next to that there is a CSKA ultra, ready to fight and under that said ,,I WILL DEFEND THE EMBLEM EVEN WITH MY BLOOD!”. So as you can see that comparing the hate of the CSKA fans to Ludogorets and that of Levski is pathetic. The reason for that is is that Domuschiev is giving everything to kill CSKA.
He is CSKA fan but anyway
There's a very interesting video by Copa 90 about this, it's called "The Billionaire That F**cked With The Wrong Ultras".
@@ze5258 yeah, I’ve watched that video at least 100 times:)
This is an absolutely Ludogorets situation!
Great job on this video . Everything in the video is spot on . Excelent job 👍👍👍👍
You really do your research!! I liked this chanel before this video, but now I am in love with it!! All things you said are 100% true and that journalist who was fired by mr. Domuschiev just shows the level of corruption not only in our football, but in our whole country! Really appreciated video! Keep going 👏
You should do a video on FC Nordsjaelland ! A very interesting club.
Loved the video, I always fancy a fm save with cska-Sofia in order to dethrone Ludogorets.
I might do one if I ever get my hands on FM.
Currently about to be dethroned by FC Midtjylland as the worst Danish team to participate in European football. Progress?
@@bcbitchkkv Guess so?
Agree. I would love to hear something about Nordsjaelland. I know they recruit a lot of youngsters and sell them for a lots of money.

@USSR this dude is toxic to make fun one of the greatest teams in europe
Great vid as always, but holy crap, you mentioned my local club the Richmond Kickers!
Bit late to this, but I just wanted to say that you've really done your homework here. Good stuff, you got my sub!
“Broke into a morgue and took a 💩 on the floor.” 😄 I’m really looking forward to running a Bulgarian club in FM21.
Do CSKA Sofia-the biggest and most supported team in the country!
@@asentseto Too bad they don't exist anymore.
@@asentseto Levski has more fans dumb kid.
@@tsetso99 thay are playing tomorrow against AS Roma lol
@@lillexus5589 Not the same team
Can you make video about Red Star Belgrade and Partiazn rivalry please?
Great video as usual Alfie. Since you have done a video on both Istanbul and Ludogoret's status as the most hated clubs in their respective countries, why not make this a series? If you do I would like to request one on MK Dons. I feel the downfall and relocation of Wimbledon would be an interesting watch for those who don't know about it.
Your research is exemplary. I enjoy your channel.

You should have mentioned that Ludogorets' owner tried to buy CSKA Sofia's emblem for his lower league side when they went bankrupt so that possibly in the future he could convert Ludogorets into CSKA.... scary sight.
There's a very interesting video by Copa 90 about this bizarre incident and how CSKA's Sector G Ultras stopped this from happening, it's called "The Billionaire That F**cked With The Wrong Ultras".
Other than that, great video!
Yes! Domuschiev supports the existence of the tumor called ,, FC CSKA 1948 Sofia”

Day 1 - Alfie, please do a video on the pitiful situation the Bulgarian national football team is currently in. Here are a couple of points to give you an idea about what I'm talking about:
- Currently, the team is in a streak of 8 winless games, at the bottom of its qualification group for the 2024 Euro, with no chances of qualifying, after losing to opponents such as Montenegro and Lithuania.
- The team's last win was almost a year ago - on 16.11.2022 in a friendly against Cyprus. Our last win in an official match was more than a year ago - on 26.09.2022 against North Macedonia.
- The national football team of Bulgaria has been constantly performing bad for at least the last 20 years. The last big tournament we played was the 2004 Euro in Portugal, where we were humiliated in the group stage.
- Many supporters blame the current bosses of the Bulgarian Football Union for this downfall. The most notable of them are Borislav Mihaylov, Emil Kostadinov and Yordan Lechkov - 3 players who were part of the great 1994 WC team which reached the semi-finals of the tournament. Sadly, those people's success as players has been overshadowed by their lack of capability or willingness to resolve many of the problems in our football - the out-of-date training systems, the poor football infrastructure etc. What's worse is that they refuse to resign a failure after another and they have changed the rules of the union in a way that makes them irremovable for more than 18 years.
- Recently a couple of players from the next generation - Dimitar Berbatov, Stiliyan Petrov and Martin Petrov started a campaign, trying to overthrow the aforementioned but as I said the rules are in the bosses' favour.
- Meanwhile fans are getting really angry with the situation and are starting to take measures. Last weekend, during many matches of the First and Second Football Leagues the fans were chanting against Mihaylov and company and displayed banners against them. Of course, the BFU fined the clubs for "obscene chants and banners".
- There is a campaign on social media calling fans of all local clubs to put their differences aside and come to the Euro qualifier with Hungary on 16.11 and show their disapproval of the current BFU leaders.
That's the main points, I'm sure that if you dig a little you'll find much more. Please consider doing such a video, the anti-BFU sentiments are getting stronger and we need to disturb those self-serving ex-legends in every way possible. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Very nice video.
From the same perspective as your video, I'd love to see a video on the relationship (aka. the owner) between Royal Excelsior Virton, F91 Düdelingen and Swift Hesperingen. :)
Haven't seen the whole vid yet but just wanna say that in the past 10 years every time Levski play Ludogorets they don't give us penalties and don't give them red cards on a regular. Not to mention the biased highlights as the owner of Ludogorets owns the tv station on witch the games are watched
kur za lefski
As a botev fan you're biased dude
@@ivilsisle561 браво бе кретен такъв. Вместо да си срещу Лудогорец се занимаваш да си срещу друг отбор. Също много си тъжен че си лайкваш своя коментар
@@upthevilla9505 how am I biased when I speak the truth? Levski certainly isn't the only team which it happens to but I speak from experience. I can't talk from the point of views of other teams when I don't watch their games
@@ditik2795 bro levski and cska get wayyyy more questionable decisions than ludogorets
No wonder Ozil played so well against them ! He was fighting for justice 😂
It was a great video. Since you made this one you could also do one about Dinamo Zagreb.
I’d never heard of Ludogorets until about a year ago when I played them in Europe on Football Manager! Now I can’t stop hearing about them lol
Bader-meinhoff phenomenon activated
The thing about the fired commentator is completely true.
CSKA Sofia may have gone down but are in this season europa league group stage so could it be the first sign of an upward curve even if it’s too early to say that!
Sorry if you've already done it in the past, but would love to see a video of the top 7 players with the longest hiatuses between international call-ups! (was inspired by reading about Fabio Quagliarella)
Good job with the video and research.
Day 16: Final East German First League Teams, where are they now?
my father used to work at one of the companies of Domuschiev, I remember a few years ago, they offer him a free day off + transport, ticket and food expensed to go watch a football game of Ludogoretz in Lige Europe. Just because no one else will go to these games. My dad rejected the offer since is not football fan and does not care. BUT basicly this is the way Ludogorets work
I do understand corruption and hate because of how Ludogoretz works, but from the other point of view that has some good side as well - Bulgaria has 3rd football powerhouse now (alongside Levski and CSKA). For example, I am from neighboring Serbia and our league has good ranking at the moment, somehow it is 11th (better placed than Belgian). The reason for good ranking are plays of Red Star and Partizan last years in Europe. And all good things stop there, because that 11th place is just a facade. Serbian football clubs are almost killed by forcing Red Star and Partizan by the state. Those two clubs are good enough for top 10 leagues surely, but even 3rd club in Serbia is too much behind and it can't compare to any 3rd club in Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia or some other league that has lower ranking. So, having at least 3 good clubs that can take championship should be a good thing for leagues like Bulgarian, Serbian etc. It's better than having only Levski and CSKA, like Serbia that has only Red Star and Partizan (literally last 33 years only Partizan or Red Star were champions in Serbia - except one non regular season in 1997).
this video (like literally all of your other videos) is fascinating and super informative!! i love them but i do have one question. Why would they be considered the most hated club in all of Europe?
Every hitc sevens video is a history lesson it's well good
Video idea: Ranking every team that has won the European continental treble since 1967
On the same theme can you do a vid on John delaney and the corruption of the fai please
Amazing video!
Quality video as always
