Quotes:
“Tsonev was a vital presence in the Bulgarian midfield, his anticipation and positioning a key element of breaking down opposition attacks. Calm with the ball, his accurate passing was often the starting point for attacks, although a team deprived of his twin brother Borislav by injury was unable to take them.”
