Dinamo Bucharest achieved a convincing victory against the newly promoted Csikszeredascore 4-0, and provisionally climb to 3rd place in the Superliga. Robert Ilyeș, the coach of the visitors, contested the refereeing in harsh terms.
At the end of the game, Robert Ilyeș (51 years old), the Ciucani coach, reacted harshly to the referee. Csikszereda contested, in particular, two moments in the match, a penalty awarded for the “dogs” by Iulian Demetrescu, after VAR consultation, and a possible 11 meters missed in favor of the Cicuani.
Ilyeș, angry at the arbitration: “Embarrassing arbitration, I'm ashamed”
“I can't dispute Dinamo's victory, they were better and they took advantage of our defensive weaknesses. In the second half they deservedly scored.
But I can't accept how I got that penalty. And I can't accept when he is at VAR and calls you, you see that there is no contact and you give a penalty. In the next phase, we have a broken arch, don't call VAR. It means bad intent.
Probably the referee Marcu, from the VAR room, was in the toilet if he didn't call the referee Mrs. Demetrescu to look.
Embarrassing refereeing, shame on me. I try to explain nicely, but I cannot accept such arbitration. Mirel Rădoi was right: instead of letting the game be more manly, any simulation is a penalty, there is no contact”, said Robert Ilyeș at Prima Sport.
Ilyeș returned to the subject in the press conference:
I cannot accept such a thing! It means it's bad intention, otherwise I can't explain it. We weren't treated like the other team, Dinamo didn't need help. Any contact was in their favor. We are executed, I told the players how it was before 1989, the Militia team had to win. That's how it was today! I'm ashamed of today's refereeing. It's bad intention and that's it! It's my opinion, I don't accept that. I don't accept to be refereed like that. I think I'm being taken for granted

Defensive issues and plans for the future
The technician acknowledged his team's difficulties:
“We have big problems, it can be seen that we are not what we want. It is clear that we cannot hide this. I want valuable players like Dinamo, who have creativity from the middle up.
I have to work with what I have and make the most of it. We are trying, we are working, now it depends on the mental part as well how quickly we can come back. The competitive break is coming, I give the players time off and we'll see what we can get out.
We'll see if in the winter the club decides to bring something, if not, I'll work with what I have next“, said Robert Ilyeș.
Superliga standings
After this round, Dinamo reaches 30 points and provisionally occupies the 3rd place, while Csikszereda remains in the 14th position, with 13 points.
The Ciucanian team will have to find its defensive consistency to avoid relegation, while Dinamo is approaching the podium of the Superliga, being only a few points away from the first two positions.
