Marian Iancu vehemently criticized Alex Dobre: ”It's half a player”
“Dobre is half a player. I started the discussion with the defensive phase of the attackers, who if he is missing, he is not a player.
Large coaches from Romania, Lucescu, Lucescu family, said this. You cannot afford a player not to have a defensive phase. Neither Petrila nor Dobre do. Zero! There are lost points.
The hollow in the cup, well who gave the hollow in the cup (semi -final no with Hermannstadt)? Where was he? His defender. Well, don't you come with the defender back? Goncalves scored the goal, where was Dobre? Don't withdraw with your opponent?
So Dobre is half a player. In the play-off, from the 4th place up, you must have complete players, which I make a defensive phase“, Said Marian Iancu.
Alex Dobre: ”My duty to the fans is to give everything”
“My duty to the team, to me, to the fans is to give everything, to train well. There are people in the club who will sit things, the sun will come out for us.
There are difficult times, but let's not be defeated. We train very well. What we do at workouts comes out perfectly, it's a question is why we don't implement what we do in training.
I can't say it's a missed season. It was a season with good and bad. It is important to be up in the future, to take the title, to take a cup. We hope that we have a season in which to meet our goals, “said Dobre, following the defeat with CFR.
