Bulgaria's football coach Stoitchkov said the team would play to win in its opening FIFA World Cup qualifier. The Bulgarians face Iceland on Saturday.

"I have faith in the boys, and our only goal is victory," Hristo Stoitchkov said Monday.

The football legend said that to him a strong forward line was the key to success. Still, Stoitchkov boasted skilled defenders to hold up Iceland's ace, Gudjonsson.

The Bulgarian coach has just made his debut on the job. He led the team to a 1-1 draw in an Eire friendly.
