In the end, the goalkeeper of the Romanian champion specified the fact that he was in the direction of the ball, but the strange effect pushed him to his left and he could not do more.

The goalkeeper also had something to criticize his colleagues in the attack. In his view tarnovanuthey no longer capitalize on the opportunities they had, as was the case last season.

Ștefan Târnovanu, statements after FCSB – Petrolul 1-1: “As long as we don't win, the play-off will be far away”

“A match that started very well, I was thinking that it had to be like this and it could be at our discretion. Then we went into the break, we talked that we have to score more.

That shot came, a deflected ball, very high. The first time I thought it was coming down the middle, it took effect to my left and I tried to get it out, but I couldn't.

I was 100% on it, it came a little to the left and I couldn't get it out. I waited, I saw it oscillate, it took on a strange effect and I could do no more.

Bearing in mind that we won against Craiova and Oțelul, difficult matches, then we failed to win now… Before the national team was the match in Sibiu, we were leading, but we couldn't win. As long as you concede a goal in every match, you cannot win the championship.

It's also frustrating to have chances, to control the game. They had a chance before the break and that shot. I had possession, I got into their box, I only scored one goal, when you do that it's complicated.

To relate to the chance… I can say that I haven't had a chance since last year. We were scoring two goals on one occasion, now we just don't score anymore. We want to catch the play-off and a European cup for sure.

As long as we don't win, the play-off will be very far. If we win two, three, four games in a row it will be very close. We have to do something about it.

We have to try to win in Belgrade, with Red Star, do as much as we can. The most important thing is to get off the field healthy, we lacked players on the field. I will also miss Belgrade, that's not important, Zima or Udrea are very good goalkeepers, they don't cause me problems“, said Târnovanu, at Prima Sport.

The most difficult opponent is Turkey, that's how I considered it. But it's a match, maybe it's a red card, a penalty, it depends, you have to be able to eliminate a team like that if you want to go to the World Cup.
