The coach criticized the players for their lack of commitment and attributed the poor result to their performance on the pitch.
“He should take some of the blame too!”
Adrian Mutu, aged 47, believes that Elias Charalambous should also have taken some of the responsibility for the way the match was tactically prepared.
“He said the right things, up to a point. It seems to me that he only blamed the players too much, because it is also about tactical training. One is the attitude, another is the poor tactical preparation they had for this match. He should also take some of the blame!”said Adria Mutu, according to digisport.ro.
Elias Charalambous' tough speech after the defeat with Dinamo Zagreb
After the clear defeat in Zagreb, Elias Charalambous gave one of the harshest speeches at FCSB, criticizing the attitude of the players and the way the game was played.
“I don't have many words. To play well, you have to be hungry and eager to win. We entered the field and watched the opponent score. There was no reaction. It was not difficult for Dinamo to win. We didn't do anything, it was like we came on vacation. I need to talk to management because this is not good at all.
If there are no changes, it will not be good. I always blame myself, never the players. But today the players looked like they didn't want to play. There has to be a change. It's not good. It's the first time I've exposed myself like this, but I have to. If we play like we did today, we have no chance.
(no. What is the reason for the evolution of FCSB from Zagreb?) I thought and I don't have a concrete answer. I have something in mind. I will talk to management before revealing the reason!”said Elias Charalambous, after the cashed failure.
Following this result, the team's chances of qualifying for the Europa League play-offs remain very slim. Even if FCSB wins the next match against Fenerbahce, the qualification also depends on the results of other teams in the group.
