Leading sports channel Eurosport handed Friday their Player of the 90s Award to Bulgarian national coach Hristo Stoitchkov.

The Barcelona legend won the prize in an online voting race at Europsport's website, where the TV audience of Eurosport and Eurosport-2 poured in their votes/

More than a half of voting (59%) was in the basket of Stoitchkov, leaving Romania's Georghe Hagi second with 40%.

Stoitchkov and Hagi have apparently shared the nearly 900,000 votes pushing down to the zero-vote rate players such as Gabriel Batistuta, Romario, Paolo Maldini. It was only Danish goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel who scored the honorary 1% of votes.

After receiving the prize, Stoitchkov answered reporters' questions about the encounter with Sweden.

Once again showing unshakable confidence, the Bulgarian coach said he know everything about the Swedish player and was well aware of their skills and their disadvantages.

"We cannot be afraid of the Swedes. All players are anxiety-free," Stoitchkov said.
