Elias Charalambous, the coach of FCSB, reacted immediately after the drawers of his students in front of CFR Cluj, score 2-2.
The technician from FCSB was irritated by the last phase of the match, when Abeid took a red card, for a blow to Adrian Şut when the ball was not at stake. At the resumption, the “central” dictated possession for the team in Gruia.
Elias Charalambous commented in hard terms the arbitration after CFR Cluj – FCSB 2-2
“We always play the victory. When you cannot win, it is good to take a point than to lose. We were driven today, we managed to equalize, but at a crucial moment, just before the break, I received a new goal. The second half was complete. The opponent was just waiting for the counterattacks.
If we were able to mark earlier, we had a great chance to win. Even though I scored late, I still had opportunities to win.
I want to talk about the last phase of the match. It was weird to me. Since the referee said that the ball was not at stake (No – when Abeid hit on the shot), then the referee should have dictated Corner. If the ball was at stake, it needed penalty and red. I do not understand why he resumed the game with possession for CFR. Maybe we forgot how things are in football or maybe the regulations have changed overnight.
And now about Alibec. When Risto Radunovic pulled a shirt opponent (No – against Dinamo), gave a penalty for the opponent. We were told that the shirt is a penalty. Today, Alibec was pulled, nothing was given. The regulation should be the same for all teams. I do not say that for this reason I lost, but maybe that's why I lost other games.
You know me very well. I do not come here to seek excuses about arbitration, but I want things to be judged the same for all teams. And I was nervous, not just the players. Today it was too much, “said Elias charalambous, according to Sport.ro.
