Vlad Pop, statements after Csikszereda – Unirea Slobozia 2-1: “It's a crisis, I admit I didn't expect it”
In the end, the footballer from Ialomi admitted that his team is going through a crisis of results, a crisis that he did not anticipate.
It was Pop's first Super League success, which he described as “a bitter goal”.
“It was a balanced match, there was a lot of fighting, it was quite a difficult pitch. My opinion is that it was a match that was pleasing to the eye. There were quite a few chances, I'm sorry we didn't manage to get at least one point.
It's a crisis, I have to admit that I didn't expect to end up on such a steep slope, taking into account the way we started the championship. There are periods that are part of the maturation of a team and that we have to go through in order to be able to face them.
A bitter goal, I would have liked the first success in the first league to come in a win. I must admit that I did not expect the first goal to be in such circumstances, it was from 40-50 meters. I'm happy, like any player”, said Pop, at Digi Sport.
