Neluțu Sabău, bitter analysis at the end of the match with Dinamo

“They beat us at football, and at the attitude. They were more motivated, they ran more, and in the middle of the field they played over what we have-individual quality, clear. In the first half we organized well, we also scored, they did not ask us big problems.

We retired where we knew they had difficulties, we managed to close the corridors and spaces, we did not give them the opportunity to reach our gate. But the goal came in the game, then 2-2, and at the last phase I lost the ball and it was 3-2.

The second half … honestly, it cannot be analyzed. I do not know what the fans saw, but I saw some blazing players, who did not fight for them or for supporters. We were dominated, with so many people in the stands who deserved something else.

I would be ashamed. I am really ashamed, as a coach, for what happened today. We are paid up to date, respected, and they should – players – have the same feelings. They are professionals, and they have to understand what that means.

We must analyze clearly where we are, what objectives we can set and what this team needs for next season. Today I looked very, very bad. In the first half I was led 3-2, we did not start, we did not win the balls, it is very difficult to get something from such a weak game. Dinamo was worth the victory, they were a better team, without doubt.

I played very well against the play-off teams, so we are not talking about a lack of value. Today we were missing four holders, yes, we suffered, but we were not allowed to take goals so easily. I didn't like the attitude today. All players are important, everyone who has taken the hard time this season.

I have to see who still has football, I clearly identify the players who want to continue. If not, we go with the juniors. That's it. The club must be respected. I don't let anyone beat this club. And you will see what will happen to the following matches“, Sabău said, after the match, at Flash-Interviu, at the show” Digi Sport Special “, from Digi Sport.
