It was, however, other external effects. “When I was a child, I liked to see the” Dream Team “in Guardiola with Positz, Kafi, Enista and Messi. It is something that I will not forget. Also to Bayern who won the trio with Heynckes with Schweinsteger and Javi Martínez In the double axis, “he remembers.

“The climb was the happiest moment since I was here.”Gruev, who estimates two others, is a “most prominent”: “Stay with the lost goal that I set in the return of the semi -finals of the qualifiers last season against Norwich.
