Cup qualification games Stoichkov intends to travel to Japan.
Hristo:
The Japanese championship is over.Kashiwa Reysol became the champions and I have a new title in my career.There is an opportunity for me finishing my contract with Kashiwa,when I go back to Japan,but I don't want to overthrow everything in such an easy way.I will act correctly with the Japanese.

Hristo:There appeared things that I have stopped my contract with
Kashiwa Reysol.There is nothing of the kind.My contract with them
goes on.In Japan they play four champiionships and I have come to
terms with the team not to be present to the first one.So it is
naturally,that the way the people accepted me there I must go
back in Japan.But I am sure that they will understand me if I
want to stop with football.
