Leo Grozavu, 57, the Moldovan technician, reacted “hot” After Sepsi-FC Botosani 2-0result that keeps the emotions at maximum levels before the last stage of the play-out.
Grozavu identified the main reason why the Moldovans lost this evening, claiming that the people from Sepsi were simply more motivated, winning all the duels, sometimes even at the limit of the regulation.
He also remembered the points lost easily in previous parties, the main responsibility belonging to them. Despite the weak form of the last period, he hopes that his students will prove that it is worth evolving in the first step. As a result, another attitude awaits in the duel with Hermannstadt, from the last stage of the play-out.

Leo Grozavu: “It's hard for me to find explanations at the moment”
“The explanations are hard for me to find them at the moment. I have to see the game again. I think I lost in terms of determination. This is where the difference was made, in no case. We have lost many duels, contacts, sometimes at the limit of the regulation.
Today I did not look like a team that deserves to be saved. Everything I tried this week … and that's the consequence of the game I have provided today. At the moment, I am a little disappointed by what I have shown in the determination. I wouldn't say that I looked as broken. Apart from battle and battle, the opponent did not surprise us with anything, only in terms of determination and aggression, “said Leo Grozavu at Flash-interview at” Digi Sport Special “.
“We had many players who were not mentally prepared for this party. This is the play-out: fight, fight, all the parties were stake. We lost many points, on our mistakes, but today we lost in terms of determination.
We lost important points in Arad, with a penalty in the 87th minute, then with the steel, with an elimination from the 5th minute. And that was a match with song, with mistakes against us,nsa we are the main culprits for what has happened until the moment”, Completed the Moldovan technician.
There is another party. Someone must relegate and someone to save. There is another match and we will have to show differently than we did today. That's the way it was last year. All we have to do is show on the ground that we deserve to stay in the first league.
With dam, without dam … I knew it would be a very difficult spring, with a hell program in the regular season. Then it is much harder for you in the play-out. I had a very good time, then I got it. I don't know for what reason. We still have a game. We must show that we deserve to stay in the first league.

What the Moldovan players said, after Sepsi – FC Botosani 2-0:
I didn't count in the second half. We had the opportunities in the first half and we should have made them. Probably pressed to the fact that we were unable to mark. I fell in the second half. We pulled too much for this equal and we didn't make the game. I bubble the balls and it is not normal.
When you play on such a good ground, you have to pass, and we didn't. Luck you create it yourself. After you get empty at a fixed phase, it is normal to want to attack and return, but I fell. We wanted at least one point today, to solve the equation of direct relegation, but we must see what we will do in the next match.
We used to make calculations, we had emotions and if we beat. I don't want to make calculations anymore. We have to see each other and play football. We are not a team to play with long balls and just fight what comes.
– Paul Iacob, defender FC Botosani
I don't know what happened. I started very well. After the break, I didn't play as well. We can evolve better, we showed this in the first 15-20 minutes, I proved it. By consistency, I could win this match. You have nothing to do but fight.
We have to believe in rescue and I think we can force at the end. I still think of the penalty missed in the past stage. It was a moment that could change our course. I thought at that time until this match started. It's the last chance with Hermannstadt, the last battle, the last opportunity. It will be difficult, but our own land benefits.
– Hervin OnGenda, midfielder FC Botosani
