Extremely upset, the footballer took by the arbitration of the “central” Florin Andrei, the one who dictated in the 4th minute a hit from 11 meters for the hosts, transformed by Zoran Mitrov.
The extreme of the Aradians also spoke about the failures that UTA had in the match in Botosani: “The quality is missing when you do not go empty!”
Valentin Costache, statements after FC Botosani-UTA Arad 2-1: “Give us nine faults, give us how you gave them”
“I had the big opportunities. I was told that at the first phase the commentators said it was not a penalty. At least you go to look. You were tragic for us. You fight, you beat … OK, it's hard, but at least go and look.
Give us nine faults, give us how you gave them. The whole match was with me. When I was doing something ready. What should we miss? I missed two great occasions the only one with the goalkeeper.
They gave from 30 meters, he jumped to Iliev and empty. What to miss? The quality when you do not give empty. It means you don't want anything from life, you're not ready for football.
Why is the reserve bank thin? It has no job. The juniors help us, grow. Are ready to play. We don't have to apologize now that we didn't have a reserve bank.
I'm very upset. We still say that from the match to the match, but when you miss two big occasions alone with the goalkeeper, it is very difficult, “said Costache, according to digisport.ro.
As a result of this result, UTA Arad stays in the 8th place in Superliga, with 16 points after 12 stages, 2 by Unirea Slobozia, the band on the last place of play-off.
