Eugen Neagoe (58 years old), the coach from The oil Ploiești, harshly criticized the “central” Horațiu Feșnic for the decisions taken at the end of the draw obtained by the Prahoven away Csikszereda, score 1-1.
The hosts were awarded a penalty kick in the closing minutes, wasted by Szalay in the 90th minute. Feșnic sent off Petrol defender Yohan Roche after showing him two yellow cards in less than two minutes.
Later, “Geană” also saw a yellow card, but claims that he did not offend the referee, but only slightly violated the technical space.
Eugen Neagoe, irritated by Horațiu Feșnic's decisions: “I don't know how he judged”
“I think tonight we gifted a point to those from Miercurea Ciuc. After the first half we should have led 3-0, after the opportunities we had. This is football, we could even lose after that penalty”, Eugen Neagoe began his speech, on the “Digi Sport Special” show.
Afterwards, Neagoe explained why he replaced Bălbarău at halftime, the goalkeeper who made a monumental mistake at the end of the first half.
“I didn't punish Bălbarău. He made that mistake, we conceded a goal, it was clear that his morale is no longer competitive and, unless he has problems in the second half, it is clear that he was not well.
It's not just about concentration, you can tell what's in his soul. I asked the boys at half-time to do everything in our power to win for him too. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get the three points, but it's good that we got one.
Chica-Roșa has a back problem. We'll see what the situation is tomorrow, I hope it's nothing serious. I think I played a very good half. The boys were clearly disappointed at half-time. To play so well away from home and go into half-time at 1-1… any team, in our place, I think would have been affected.”
Regarding the elimination of Yohan Roche, Neagoe pointed out: “I don't know how that phase was judged, I don't know how the second yellow card was given to Roche.
I didn't say anything at all, I didn't offend. Ask the referee, I didn't say a bad word the whole match! He comes and gives me a ticket for going a little over the perimeter… well, I saw Simeone pass by two or three meters! Now I didn't say anything, actually nothing!
It seems too easy to me though, we are not under arrest. And those arrested are allowed to speak. I didn't offend the brigade in any way, but they gave me the card very easily”.
