Andrea Mandorlini believes that CFR Cluj was clearly the better team and should have prevailed. He blamed the referee for the penalty from which Paszka made it 2-2 in extra time.
Andrea Mandorlini, after Csikszereda – CFR: “The penalty was awarded easily”
“We had more chances, we were the better team. Regarding the penalty, it was awarded very easily, but now it doesn't matter. We had great situations to score, this is football. If you don't close the match, there can be mistakes. I say that it is not Biliboc's fault at the penalty, but someone else's, but now we have nothing left to discuss.
We came here to win, we played a very good game, we had possession of the ball, it's a shame about this goal at the end which brought bitterness.
I had this problem before I came to CFR. The team easily conceded a goal. I highlight the good things again. We played a good game and deserved to win. Our objective is at least to reach the play-offs. I can't say I'm happy, to leave here with just one point is very little.
We were going to change the system, to play with two strikers. Slimani played a good game, it's a shame he didn't manage to score the second goal,” said Andrea Mandorlini, at Prima Sport.
