Badea was extremely disappointed, considering his refereeing as well Giorgi Kruashvili influenced the result. Craiova led until extra time, but was turned in the last minutes. The decisive goal was scored from the penalty, in the last phase.

Olteni were in the qualification spot throughout the game, but Jovic's goal from 11 meters sent them to 25th place.

Pavel Badea, “hot”, after AEK Athens – Craiova 3-2: “It is clear that the decisions the referee took showed that he is beyond the situation”

“Everything happens only to us. Fantastic bad luck, a situation that no one predicted, it's terrible what's happening. I hope the team gets over it and moves on. There's no other chance. It's a fantastic experience, we played excellent matches. We remember the match with Başakşehir, with Mainz.

We are left with good matches, with a competitive team that was very close to qualifying. It is clear that Coelho is not lucky either, I hope Rotaru doesn't change him like he changed Neagoe.

Unfortunately, you can't even say it's a lack of focus. Fate was against us. The team played well. After the first 10 minutes, we were equal, if not superior. You have nothing to do, actually, the safe option is to move on and get over this negative experience.

It is clear that the decisions the referee made showed that he was out of control. I may be subjective, but my opinion is that he was outplayed by the game. In many moments he was put in situations to give controversial decisions, sometimes hilarious.

It's a sad moment, but we're proud of the way he played. Such bad luck rarely happens. Unfortunately, it happened to us”, declared Pavel Badea, at GSP Live Special.

Pavel Badea: “The changes did not come out”

“Football is beautiful and it also creates extraordinary positive or negative experiences for you, as is happening now. I hope that the team will overcome these moments and win with Csikszereda and that we finish this part of the championship with our heads held high and prepare for the other two goals, the title and the Cup.

The changes did not come out, there is an assumption that it was not inspired. But the team played well, those who entered entered well. The planets were aligned against us.

We're thinking about how unlucky you can get to put Houri in, and Houri to be uninspired to make a needless, unanticipated foul. When you are in the last second of the match, you avoid attacking decisively. But it's too much to accuse, the chance factor is very important, it's even decisive at this level”, the former midfielder also declared.
