After the match, the financier of Botosani also attacked Szabolcs Kovacs, but also his brother, Istvan, following an arbitration that Botosani had in Arad.
“I would be ashamed if I were a lime referee. As much as I clamped to have lime, to give in the 7th minute … a foul, but in the 7th minute you did not break a sports show.
It ruins everything that means football. Someone from the outside appears, no one, brought in arbitration I have no idea how, breaks football. Give a man out in the 7th minute. It's a total disappointment. You have all the ideas in your head, that he wants you, that he does not want you.
Mistakes too face, it seems so a bit of cooperative. I don't know what the meaning of this football is. I have nothing to tell this child who arbitrated at the center. Unfortunately, I start to fear this conspiracy, this friendly family, it made me dust in Arad, it was Istvan. It's like a hunt. You make efforts and no one comes and it ruins all football.
I sanction me. I tell you. Is in the state. I'm really sorry. You try to do something in this football and someone comes, the brothers (Kovacs), who simply steals you. At lime. Put one of this one who does not know what to do. The joke is thickened, we are on the dam, ”said Valeriu Iftime, according to btonline.ro.
