Hermannstadt – Rapid 0-3. Dorinel Munteanu, the coach of the Sibiu team, analyzed the failure on home ground, in stage #25 of the Superliga.

After taking the blame on himself, Dorinel Munteanu said he expects more from the players transferred this winter.
Dorinel Munteanu's statements, after Hermannstadt – Rapid 0-3
“We gave away all the goals. The boys had a bad day. I am responsible, I assume this negative result. I will talk to the guys, there were a lot of individual mistakes. I don't need to list them. We fought ourselves. We started very well, Rapid didn't give us any problems, in the second half it broke.
Rapid scored on an organizational mistake. In the second half, everything fell apart, they put pressure and made mistakes. It's shameful, I take responsibility. But we fight to the end, we play our chance with FC Argeș.
For all the goals we received, we gave gifts. The same with the penalty, the same with the second, the goalkeeper made a gift. In the third, it's our corner, the ball is ours, they catch us on the counterattack. The solution is between me and the players. It was a bad evening.
We will discuss what we have to discuss. If they are men, we put all the problems on the table. Today I made as many mistakes as in all the games since I've been here. That's the situation.
We should have taken more points, there are several factors related to this. We will fight not to be relegated. The players who came have to adjust, they don't have rhythm, they didn't help the team at all”, said Dorinel Munteanu, on Prima Sport 1.
Cabuz suffered a stretch, let's see what diagnosis he will have.
