Paul Papp, statements after Oil – Rapid 0-1: “It is normal to worry about the situation in which we are”
Papp also speaks of the difficult period he went through and wants with all his soul to get out of this complicated situation.
“We struggled, we wanted to equalize, to return the result, it did not come out. Too bad, from the point of view of the attitude I made a good game. Something has even changed. To Penaty, where do I take my hand?
I'm talking about arbitration, but it can't be that, where to take my hand, cut it to me? What to do with her, she jumped from a meter the ball in my hand. I did not see the phase, but I felt, there is no point, I do not know what to say.
He gave me no explanation. I told him that I swear he did not give me, arrogant, Lord! We are worried about how things are going, we only have 6 points in 11 stages. You can not.
Probably Mr. Bîrsan took a hatred of me, he didn't talk to me in the field, he didn't tell me anything. Roche stuck slippery, gave up. He told Grozav that he was wrong, two seconds after whistling. How can you do that?
I consume a lot, believe me I had some very hard weeks, only my wife knows. I consume, of course. It is about us, oil, as people, as footballers.
We have a good locker room, a good team, but look, we are down and the disappointment is very, very big. We do not disarm, we are fighters, we have to gather even better, to try to remove that point, we only have defeats.
A starting point and after trying to win. A very difficult match awaits us in Pitești, ”Papp explained, at Digi Sport 1.
Neagoe has a great experience in football. He had discussions with us this week, we feel it with us and I hope with all our heart, with all our soul, to make some somehow gathering points.
I think I have a little break, I hope it has not been made even bigger. It's at the leg, where the leg is very sensitive. I hope to be fit for the next match. It really doesn't matter who plays, it matters to gather points.
Anyone in the field, it matters to understand that we have to make points, play for the team and give 200%. It's a difficult situation, I hope we get out of it. I hope the sun is coming out on our street.
