The Giulești bosses caught fire for nothing, but they don't want to see that their team doesn't play anything!
The expression “the dead moved to the Academy” is one that Ovidiu Ioanițoaia classicized. It is used to describe someone who has a problem, but invents another problem, usually a smaller one, to draw attention elsewhere. Change the subject, as it were.
The origin of this expression comes from some militiamen who were patrolling and, it is said, found a body on Edgar Quinet Street. As it was difficult for them to write the Frenchman's name, they moved the dead man around the corner, to Academiei, which was easier to spell.
Angelescu says “execrable”
So is the Rapid. I was waiting after the match with Oțelul lucid reactions, explanations of clear and drastic failure. In their place we heard complaints about the refereeing. First Costel Gâlcă. Somewhat surprisingly, he usually does not make such references.
And then Victor Angelescu's downright furious speech. “Outrageous, mockery!”. Plus the addition of the coach, otherwise correct, that in the first 20 stages Rapidul did not receive any penalty. Indeed, he should have been given some. But some other time, not Saturday night, in front of the Steel.
Maybe they were playing in ten from the 26th minute!
Look with a magnifying glass for those penalties that are so clear in the Giulăștean production. Which? The one in the 65th minute? Koljic with Zivuljc? Well, it's not really contact. Or in the 86th minute (it was already 0-2) at Petrila? The opponent touches him a little, but not low, on the legs. But up, to the body, like in basketball.
But it's better to talk about the phase from the 26th minute, Koljic with Iacob. So what's there? It's a ditamai Elvir's elbow, which with a more careful VAR could have failed in the locker room right from the middle of the first half!
Are we talking about the phase before the break, when in front of the bench (and the fourth referee) Dobre angrily enters Conrado, out of revenge, who had humiliated him before with a sprint? The captain from Giulești did not even receive a warning! And then, what was so “execrable”, where is that “mockery”?
They were clearly dominated!
When you lose like that, you put your head in the ground. When Oțelul, the team in seventh place before the stage, dominates you in all aspects, physically, technically, tactically, when you don't shoot on goal in the first half, you talk about these things, not about some consolations that you thought were penalties.
Even if the arbitration would have disadvantaged you, it is not decent to bring it up, because it was not because of them that you lost, but because of you!
Aioani, another false thesis!
Perhaps the distinguished gentlemen will explain to us in the coming days what kind of leader is the one who didn't score in the last two matches (Botoșani plus Oțelul), how in each of these matches the haloed leader was second fiddle. How are these shortcomings easier to explain? With arbitration? With the failure of Petrila from Botoșani?
With Aioani's error at Iacob's goal? The last one is another false thesis. Aioani, through his interventions, some even miraculous, kept Rapid alive the entire match at Botoșani and three quarters of the match with Oțelul!

So, although it was tried, in the opinion of those who saw the match with Oțelul and understood it, it was not possible to move the dead man to Academiei. He is at the place where he fell, on Edgar Qiunet!
