Moreover, he acknowledged that his team does not “face” the European cups, even if he manages to finish on a place that will allow him access.

He has given the example of other teams that have struggled to reach the groups of European competitions, but have been eliminated in the first tours in recent years.

Sabău, after CFR – U Cluj 1-0: “I did not prepare the game well”

Visibly disappointed, Sabău He said that his students were overcome by the stakes of the match, and he himself did not prepare as the match tonight.

“We showed the first half, without a shot on the gate, the two attackers were very little.

It is clear that we didn't prepare the game well, something we lacked. I didn't do what I had to do, to bring them in a good mental form. It was a derby, it was very important.

The second half seems to have tried to play something, we had two situations, but for such an important match, for us, quite a little, unfortunately.

The supporters matter, motivate you, but I have not prepared the game at all, it is clear. What I saw today … not to have the courage to play, not to start, not to give solutions to the ball. I left the attackers, they lose the ball quite easily, they return to the counterattack and they catch us.

They felt that I had that fear. They were much more motivated and prepared the match better than us. That's the reality, that's what I saw in the first half.

In the second we had the possession, we tried to play, a few occasions, centuries, but it did not seem to me as we should have shown for such an important match with CFR.

When you have no continuity … we have only 3 victories. We have to draw some conclusions, see where the problems are and how we can solve them. I do not want to cancel, criticize, understand that I am not satisfied with what I have achieved.

Sure, I would like, because I often looked good, I would have wanted in such a game to look good. You can lose, but we look much better as a team ”, said Ioan Ovidiu Sabău at the first sport.

I am interested in catching the first 4 places. That's what we wanted very much. It's not a European cup, because it can also confuse you. Prestige, ok, you have to be prepared. I know what it means to play at that level. You have to make your lot. You have seen what happened to teams that have been building for 7-8 years, try to win the title, when I get there, I get out of the first or second round, apart from FCSB.

We look good, we mature as a team, as a club. A beautiful goal to achieve, but let's be more realistic. European cups … pretty hard. I think FCSB is too strong, valuable, experience at the moment. It's very hard to lose the championship
