Georgi Iljew, 11-times representative of Bulgaria, owes his life to the line referee of the league match Czerno Morje Varna - Lokomotiv Plovdiv, played last weekend. During one of the actions, Ilyev received a strong slap in the face, as a result of which the unconscious slumped to the ground and swallowed his tongue. When the player does not rise from the pitch for a few moments, the side referee, Płamen Georgiew, he ran to the center of the pitch and, using his lifeguard skills, restored the player's ability to breathe. – In such cases, great care should be taken. In this case, however, I did not hesitate for a moment, because I have some experience in similar situations – Georgiew said.
