Sorin Cârțu, the president of Craiova University, reacted after the team from Olten achieved a dramatic draw with Rapid, score 2-2, in the match of stage #15.
Sorin Cârțu said that he does not advise coach Mirel Rădoi, but that a suggestion would be for him to find his emotional balance, in the context in which Mirel Rădoi had several nervous outbursts.
Sorin Cârțu, one piece of advice for Mirel Rădoi: “A more pertinent analysis of what he does
“I don't have any private discussions with him. I go down there after the matches, I sit with them in the locker room, we share our impressions, but not in an official way. He has his staff. I didn't insist, I didn't interfere. I don't pay attention. It doesn't come from you, I have no business. I did my job as a coach myself, I drew my own conclusions. As advice, I would say that he needs an emotional balance. A more pertinent analysis in everything he does.
He's a guy who takes his tactical problems and analyzes them well. They have technologies to analyze. He is one of the coaches who analyzes training after the game. He has studied this part a lot”, Sorin Cârțu said on the Fotbal Show show from Prima Sport.
Mirel Rădoi is used to several reactions that have sparked controversy, such as the gesture he made last night at the end of the match with Rapid. Initially, the referee Bîrsan did not award a penalty in the phase from which Nsimba equalized the situation on the table in the 90th+9th minute. The Olten technician went to the locker room at that moment, later returning to the bench after the referee overturned the decision with the help of VAR. The gesture that sparked many opinions was simply justified by Mirel Rădoi: he said that he left to watch the replays.
I couldn't wait to watch live and went into the locker room to watch the replays. The replays are probably broadcast on the platform we have inside. I didn't want to come out and make accusations. It seemed very clear to me from the bench. After seeing the replays, there was no way it wouldn't happen. There was also this option: if it didn't work out, that was it, but things were very clear.
