Alexandru Chipciuthe player of the ones at U Clujcommented in harsh terms the defeat suffered on their own ground in front of those at Dinamoscore 0-1.
Chipciu spoke about the shape of his team and is of the opinion that the major changes in the effective period of the summer mercato have affected the performance of the “red hats”.
Alexandru Chipciu, speech after defeating Dinamo: “It's hard. Many players have changed”
“I thought it would not give us a goal. It was a tight, balanced match. Football, as it rewarded us last year against a good game, when you are satisfied with little, you get empty in the last minutes. Then you are sorry. That's what I'm sorry … let's bump all the balls, play this ugly football. That hurts me more than defeat.
The championship is long. We have shown in some matches, the first half in Craiova, with Oil, but it is clear that it is not the style of play that defined us last year.
It's tough. Many players have changed. It's tough! I think I never played with the same 90 -minute bottom line. It's tough. This lack of personality disarms me. These are the landmarks after this match.
I think for us Europe was too high. The world thought we were playing with Armenians, but we played with Portuguese, Colombians. It's not an excuse, but I think those players are better paid than those in Cluj. I said then. It was a stronger team, I said, even though he probably laughed at me.
This was the level of Europe, higher than our level. We are 6th place in a championship like theirs, but there are many changes and it's hard. When there are so many changes … until you catch the first 11, “said Alexandru Chipciu at the first sport.
Chipciu: “One of the weakest matches”
“We have moments. I did not have the aggressiveness from Constanța today, when I played in 10 people the whole match. Another spirit, another energy. Today we couldn't hold them anymore. I think it was one of the weakest matches played this year.
In football it is hard, just like in life. If they were always beautiful, when the world applauds you … If you feel king and stay like the Sultan with the hookah, you win, you qualify in Europe, you must also accept when you criticize the world. You have to accept that things do not look good at the moment. There is nothing lost, it is clear, but it seems that we do not find the key to play a better football.
Angry the result, but I didn't feel good at all. It was not who knows what match, they had no opportunities, but the feeling is that I was not what it needed and this is more painful than the defeat tonight, ”concluded Chipciu.
