You spent four years here in Leipzig, won two titles and played in plenty of big games. Is there a moment which particularly sticks out for you?

Christo: "There were a lot of special moments. If I had to pick one, it would probably be our first Pokal title. We were 1-0 down in the final and I scored the equaliser. Then it went to a penalty shootout. It was a really long and intense game, but by the end, we had won the first title in the club's history. That game will always be a special memory for me."

The fans know the Christo who left Leipzig in 2023. Has anything changed for you since then? Which version of Christo can they look forward to now?

Christo: "I've gained a lot more experience in the past few years. After I left, I experienced and had to become familiar with things that were new to me, and I bring those experiences back as a positive. But when it boils down to it, I'm still the same guy. I want to have fun on the pitch, make the fans happy and reach our goals as a team. That's where my focus is."

What have you missed about Leipzig? Is there a place, a restaurant or something else which you're particularly looking forward to visiting again?

Christo: "There's a lot I've missed about Leipzig: the people, the parks and even just life here. I'll definitely have to go back and have a look at where I used to live. I'd like to go back there one more time and take it all in. I'll also go to the shopping centre in Goerdelerring because there was a really delicious Italian restaurant there last time I was here. I hope it's still there (laughing)."
