Sorin Cârțu (69), honorary president of Craiova Universityreacted immediately after dramatic qualification In the Conference League play-off, 6-4 general with Spartak Trnava. The Oltenians prevailed on their own ground by 3-0 and led by 1-0 in Slovakia. Qualification was cut in the extensions of the return sleeve, after the goals scored by Tudor Băluță And Steven Nsimba.
For the band of Mirel Rădoi, the double-handy from the play-off with Bașakșehir, from Turkey, follows.
Sorin Cârțu: “I enter a knife in my heart after each void”
Immediately after the match, Sorin Cârțu had a telephone intervention at the “Football Club” show at Digi Sport and accused the tension of the match: “Let me breathe a little!”
Later, the former coach continued: “God, what a match, what a crazy match! I went through all the states. I do not start analyzes, I leave Mirel, but still we have a problem with the goals. We created thousands of nerves.
After all, they gave some unreasonable goals, not even to do the goalkeeper. We get too many goals, lucky that we give a lot. There were exceptional executions, they have some good footballers, very technical.
This is our misfortune, because Baiaram leaves on I do not know what amount of money … Now we think about the match with Csikszereda, and then the one with Basakșehir. Good thing we came back to the extensions.
It is hard for me to speak now, I went through all the possible states. I walked at times. A knife enters my chest at every void received. I liked this team in Craiova, as he played in the first half. Seeing them live here, they took such combinations and all vertically, created problems. At one point, I had 4-0, I didn't even think, but look, football is coming back.
They have given 3 reasonsable goals, only through the winter. I liked the number 11 (nozango no), good footballer, how hard you took the ball. I also lived as a coach matches like this. I'm tired, I can't find the words anymore. There were heavy matches, as a coach you were gone to this style of matches, but Mirel is young! How much will he train? He is also left at 60, as I left.
As if we do not keep in this fight in front of the box, we must be more aggressive. It is too easy to dominate the players. Mirel has to think about what to do, we can't go that way. After all, everything that happened in the extensions, we dominated, we had the goals. I liked it Tsimbahow to beat the fact that he gave an empty. It looks like a good purchase.
(No about Bașakșehir, next opponent) Fenerbahce or Galatasaray scares you. This is a very good team, but it is playing. It's not a dragon. I saw the failure at this match, why not be honest?”.
