“I didn't imagine something like this. I didn't work on that in training”

Neagoe was extremely harsh on his students, blaming individual mistakes made by them. He believes Petrolul do not look like a relegation team and was pleased with the second half, although his side conceded two goals.

He explained why he put Ignat in the starting line-up, just brought from Rapid, and why he wasn't sent from the first minute by Andres Dumitrescu, the left defender transferred this winter.

“The month of gifts has passed, it's long gone. Pay attention to the opponent to put it in the goal, we didn't work in training. Goals are also scored from gifts, I didn't imagine we could make such mistakes. When you give the ball to the opponent to put it in the goal, you can't hope for anything.

I would also like to receive gifts. I kept giving gifts during this championship. Ignat trained with Rapid, played in training matches. We didn't have a left defender, Dumitrescu did only 3 training sessions, we forced him. I congratulate him for the 45 minutes, he entered very well!

Roche was used to the left back position, it was not new for him. That was the situation, we had to come up with someone on the left side. It was that penalty mistake, and a minute later we lose the ball and take another goal. When you make mistakes like that, you can't make claims. We controlled the second half, but we didn't score. Instead, we gave them passes to score goals.

I haven't worked like this in training, I really haven't done this, it's new. Dangerous moments can be created. We don't look like a relegation team. We had moments when we showed that we are a good team.

Let's play like we did in the second half and not make rookie mistakes. If we eliminate the two mistakes in the second half, that's how we have to play,” said Neagoe, on Prima Sport 1.
