FC Arges – Craiova University 1-2. Bogdan Andone (50 years old), the coach of Pitesti, offered the first reaction after this evening's failure.
Andone adopted the same attitude as president Dani Coman (46), and admitted that the play-offs are an unrealistic goal for the newly promoted side.
Bogdan Andone, statements after FC Argeș – Universitatea Craiova 1-2: “For now, let's be content with being in League 1”
“It's upset, disappointment, frustration. Craiova, until scoring the first goal, never entered the box! We then managed to equalize, then again we got a very simple, very easy goal, things we discussed, watched, analyzed.
I knew very well what Bancu was doing from that position, I didn't even block the cross, I knew where the ball would go. Some goals conceded very simply, very easily.
There are moments of the game that I did not manage well. Craiova was better, more experienced. It's anger. We had 13 corners, they none. I think they had two, three shots on goal, I scored two goals.
I'm also disappointed, and the boys, it's difficult because we met two good teams. If we managed certain moments of the game better, we could have produced more.
It is clear that the play-off, at the moment, is too big an equation for us, even if we are in fifth or sixth place. We are not yet at the level of the top teams in Romania, that is very clear. It's hard to fight with FCSB or U Cluj, CFR, for a play-off position.
The boys had attitude, I want to congratulate them for that. It was difference in quality, value. One is to pay a player with 7-8,000 and another with 20,000 euros or to buy him for a million, and we take him from the market, with zero money.
For now, let's be satisfied that we are in League 1, that we are in the first part of the championship. We still have a lot of work to do in all aspects of the game, to make things much better. The difference in value and quality is seen during the game and in the management of the moments of the game,” Andone said on Prima Sport 1.
We need to win the game with CFR. We no longer need to play beautifully or spectacularly or create 20 situations for ourselves.
We need to not give any shots on goal, not create any situations and win the game.
