Elias Charalambous, the coach of the FCSBcommented immediately after his team lost 4-1 in front of those from Dinamo Zagrebin a match that counted for round #7 of the single group stage of the Europa League.
The FCSB coach had an extremely harsh speech. The Cypriot criticized his team and appeared disappointed by the attitude of his students, and then sounded the alarm.
Elias Charalambous sounded the alarm after Dinamo Zagreb – FCSB 4-1: “We have to wake up!”
“The opponent did not have to do much to win. I had no spirit. I didn't fight for anything. We made it easy for the opponents. I am very disappointed. Something has to change.
If everyone played as Olaru, things would be different. We need football hungry playersl. We can have no pretensions when we present ourselves like this. We have to change something. If we are not hungry for football…It doesn't matter if we play Dinamo Zagreb or someone else.
We have probably stagnated and continue to stagnate. That's why I say something has to change. We have to do something. I didn't like the attitude. We must have a fighting spirit. When will they enter field the new players, maybe we will have a different spirit.
We did nothing to stop the opponent from scoring. I watched as we conceded goals. We just stepped on the field and let them score easy goals. It was clear that we were not motivated.
If we concede goals quickly in matches it means that we have a lack of concentration. Today, in particular, I am very disappointed. I don't know if we've lost that spirit, but we have to get it back. Today we were not a team.
First let's manage to improve our game, then we can talk about qualification.
We must wake up! We don't stand a chance that way. A League 2 team beat us with this attitude today. If we wake up we have a chance. We have to wake up. I know what I have to do”, said Elias Charalambous in the flash interview from Digi Sport.
