Ioan Ovidiu Sabău, stretched before U Cluj – Slavia Prague: “Nothing gives me confidence that we will look like last year!”
The defeat, but especially the performance in the friendly against Sigma Olomouc left a bitter taste to Ioan Ovidiu Sabău. He did a harsh x-ray at the end of the game, repeatedly declaring himself concerned about the current level displayed by his players.
“I am concerned about the result, we do not look good at all. In the first half, even if it was 0-0, we have not been able to complete, to reach the opponent, to kick the gate. Of course, we are concerned, at the moment I identify many problems.
We are not ready. We have two more weeks and unfortunately we look … Of course, with players who came one by one, unprepared, many improvisations, “undeadures” who need time to accommodate and carry our rhythm …
At the moment I am very concerned and disappointed. We are very close to the start of the championship and I see nothing to trust me that we will look like last year. This is my great concern here“Said Sabău for the official club channels.
