Kiril Vasilev Despodov
Kiril Despodov fires forward runs, attacking space in the channels for PAOK. Kiril Despodov began at Litex, blossomed at Ludogorets, then moved to Cagliari before joining PAOK. Despodov drives at defenders with pace. As Bulgaria's captain, Despodov anchors the attack and presses high to win the ball high. His vertical, cross-heavy service and timing runs create chances and drag centre-backs wider. He earned the Greek Super League title in 2024 with PAOK. Despodov's role stays as a right winger/inside forward who links play and finishes moves. Kiril Despodov keeps attacking and gets shots off quickly.
