The two greatest Macedonian football legends, Darko Pancev and Goran Pandev, entered a "war of words" after the performance of the Macedonian national team in the qualifying round for the World Cup in Qatar. The players lost to Portugal 2-0 yesterday in the final barrage of matches for the World Cup, after previously beating Italy in Palermo in the semifinals with a goal by Aleksandar Trajkovski, and the performance of the "lynx" was commented by the best Macedonian football player of the 20th century. Darko Pancev who in an interview for "A.ugsburger Allgemeine"Pandev also kicked him.

The popular "cobra" said that the coach Blagoja Milevski should immediately get a new four-year contract because he is the best coach that Macedonia had, while the national team led by Pandev lost to Andorra.

- If I were the president of FFM, I would immediately extend Milevski's contract and give him a new four-year contract. I am impressed by his work and the concept, especially since he previously had a great job with the young national team. For me, he is the best coach that Macedonia has ever had. Victories with Germany and Italy can not be compared, the first was in qualifying, the second in the playoffs, but regardless of everything, those two victories are a great landmark and milestone in the history of Macedonian football. Goran Pandev's contribution to Macedonia is indisputable. It can not be forgotten that he scored the goal that defeated Georgia and secured a place in the European Championship, but it can not be forgotten that with him in the team we lost to Andorra. But, I think that now players like Bardi, Alioski, Ademi can develop even more and that will be great for the further results of Macedonia - said Pancev for the German newspaper.

The answer came today from Pandev in a statement for "Fokus".

- I have nothing to say. It can be seen that the man is very upset that Macedonia played at the European Championship and the World Cup qualifier in Qatar - Pandev told "Фокус".
