The match was briefly interrupted at Miercurea Ciuc due to xenophobic chants » What Paul Papp, the footballer who intervened, said

Paul Papp spoke about how coach Eugen Neagoe managed to give the team a new lease of life, and then commented on the incident in which he went to the Petrol supporters to stop them from chanting xenophobic chants against Hungarians. The moment of interruption was a short one, and the supporters complied.

Paul Papp about the heated incident at Miercurea Ciuc: “I went to talk to them and they were receptive”

“I can't comment because I haven't seen the phases and I don't want to comment because I'm making enemies. A fair result. Two teams that opened up, they played. A game that was pleasing to the eye, we wanted the three points, but a point…that's good too.

I understood that there were chants about Hungary, xebnophobic chants. I went to talk to them, they were responsive and I continued the game. It still happens in stadiums. Now what do we do? I am also made a gypsy in every way. Xenophobic or racist chants are not to be encouraged

It makes sense that we look better because we have collected points. We are happy. We aim to collect points in every match. We don't want to lose because if you don't lose it gives you a different balance in the dressing room, a different atmosphere.

Eugen Neagoe is a serious, experienced coach. I knew him for a long time. I don't want to say more, I don't want to blame anyone. Every coach also has a little luck. Neagoe has settled us well in the field, he works well with us in training, we are receptive. He also put the whip on us because it was needed. We understood because that's the only way to perform. You put your head in the counter because if you don't put it in you don't collect points”, said Paul Papp in the flash-interview.
