CFR Cluj – UTA Arad 1-1. The Italian Andrea Mandorlini (65 years old) remains without victory from the moment he took CFR, and his post is increasingly uncertain.
In the end, he offered a short reaction and stressed that his team performed a weak football in the first half, without having dangerous offensive actions.
In fact, CFR Cluj has shipped no shot on the gate in the first 45 minutes. The Italian is waiting for Louis Munteanu to improve the offensive situation.
The tip was present in Gruia, but was missing because of a slight injury.
Andrea Mandorlini, statements after the draw with UTA Arad: “CFR Cluj and FCSB are not used to this area of the ranking”
Questioned about the situation in the ranking of his team and the FCSB, the first two ranked last season, Mandorlini acknowledged that he did not expect such a deployment.
“In the first half I did not play well, it was not good. In the second it was something else, I equalized and I had the chance to win. Unfortunately I did not succeed.
I think we have to do a little more. In the first half I played under what we wanted, but we deserved the victory in the second half.
We are teams (No – CFR and FCSB) who did not get used to this area of the standings. Let's hope we get back. We are waiting for Louis Munteanu. Slimani has come in very well, even if he has no rhythm of play“, Mandorlini told Digi Sport 1.
If we want to catch the play-off, we need to win at least the matches at home. There are already too many matches without victory. A derby awaits us, important for the city, for supporters, with U Cluj.
Those who are for a long time have to talk to the newest ones, tell them what this derby means.
