What do you think the reason is for Ludo's bad start? Have they lost a lot of their best players? I know Júnior Caiçara went to Schalke 04.

Could be lots of things,getting new players to gel together,a new manager getting to know his team and players and working out a playing system,new players/manager not good enough..................only time will tell,but from what I saw,they no longer have a gap between them and all the other teams in the division,they are just the same as any other 'A' grupa team,until they get back the extra that set them apart,the league will be wide open for a team to get themselves together and win it.

My opinion is almost like totosexpandingheadband (Steve).
Just to add another significant lost with Roman Bezjak.

This Slovenian attacker is with not the perfect first touch, but he was with extremely high level of work rate performance all the time, giving pressure on the opponent half, making the task of Ludogorets defenders far easier.

In the summer, he went as a free agent in Rijeka and as far as is know from the information in the local media, he wanted to go out in the winter break, but team owner did not want to let him go, although there was some offers.

Several players left for the same reason, and at least in my opinion that said that the internal situation in the team was poor, the owner acts against the true desire of the players, which lead to logical, negative results.

Bulgaria suffered a second consecutive defeat to Norway after having lost 1:2 in Oslo in October 2014.

Bulgaria retained its fourth position in qualification Group H with eight points, while Norway consolidated its third position with 13 points.

Following the presentation, Berbatov left for Nea Mesimvria to hold his first training with his new teammates.
