The technician of the Moldovan team was satisfied with the game and explained why he rested several starters. He also talked about the next match, with Petrolul, in the Superliga.
In addition, Leo Grozavu conveyed that his team will have a problem regarding the U21 rule. Narcis Ilaș (18 years old) was injured at the weekend and will miss 3 months from the pitch, so the coach from FC Botoșani will no longer rely on the main regular this year.
Leo Grozavu: “We assumed, in 3 days there is a difficult trip to Ploiești”
“I can't be satisfied with the result. I wanted to win the game, but it wasn't possible. Taking into account that we didn't have the most homogeneous group on the field, I have nothing to reproach the boys with. They had a good attitude, we dominated the game. In the first half, we didn't really have a reaction and clarity, in the second it was a bit more. There was no inspiration, a lot of missed shots.
We made a mistake and got charged. But it's not easy to have a few minutes and then suddenly play a whole match, especially against a team that knows its players very well. We will analyze, we will see where we still have to correct.
We assumed, in 3 days there is a difficult trip to Ploiesti. Petrol has metamorphosed since the arrival of Neagoe, a pragmatic team with many experienced players. It will be a difficult match, it was almost impossible to play 3 days with the same team.
There will also be travel. Everyone must play. I gave them the opportunity to play, some with good performance, others less so. We will use some of them on Monday as well”, said Leo Grozavu, at the press conference.
Leo Grozavu: “We are upset about the U21 player”
“I'm glad we didn't lose. We wanted to win, unfortunately we couldn't. There are two more games. If we get 6 points, we have a chance to qualify.
We also suffered a little with the U21 player, we are disorganized after the loss of Ilaș. We will have to find solutions. I hope he doesn't feel too strong in the next matches”Leo Grozavu also said.
