The story of Hristo Stoichkov as it really happened

The autobiography of the great Bulgarian football player will tell you again about his exploits

There is hardly anyone who would dispute the fact that Hristo Stoichkov is the best Bulgarian football player of all time. Winner of the "Golden Ball" of the "France Football" magazine, top scorer at the world finals in the USA in 1994 and a number of other achievements at the club and national level, Stoichkov is a true legend not only in Bulgaria, but also in Barcelona, where he is a key part of Johan Cruyff's 'dream team'.

The interest that Stoichkov caused with the publication of his autobiography was also huge. And without a doubt, deserved. What you will find in the pages of "Hristo Stoichkov: The Story", which was written with the help of Vladimir Pamukov, is not very different from the traditional sports, or football, autobiography. However, Hristo Stoichkov's book will offer you stories that cannot be read, it will give you the other perspective of a remarkable career, which, if you missed it, you will only be able to imagine from the stories of the legendary number eight.

The former football player himself says about his book: "In it, I wanted to explain everything that has been said over the years - where it is true, where it is not, because I wanted to stop speculation once and for all." And yes, you will find out if some of the stories you may find on the internet, even hear from some more ardent Izzo fan, are true, or slightly exaggerated, or never happened at all. You will understand even more how with persistence, hard work, a drop of talent and a huge love for the game you can make a dream come true.

You will understand that the rivalry between Levski and CSKA, at least in the eyes of the players Stoichkov teamed up with when he played for the Reds, existed only on the field. You will meet the moments that changed his thinking and turned him into a person ready to give his best at every moment to reach the football and human peak.

Stoichkov says that "History" was written mainly for the young generation. What the Bulgarian football player did not see on his home, European and world fields. In his words, some stories are too true to tell, but you can also find them in Izzo's autobiography and understand that in the end, such a great player who achieved everything, including winning a European title with Barcelona and " Ballon d'Or" in one season, can be humble and grateful to everyone who helped on the difficult path to the top.

The style used by sports journalist Vladimir Pamukov makes every moment easy to understand, fast and pleasant to read and accessible to absolutely everyone who wants to get to know more details and especially the truth about Hristo Stoichkov.
