The “principal” of the Aradians appreciated the fact that his team was superior in the first half, but the level dropped in the second act. Then Adrian Mihalcea commented on the difference in value between the two lots.
Adrian Mihalcea reacted after UTA Arad – CFR Cluj 0-1: “I don't feel inferior, I have no reason to!”
“It was a balanced game. The first half belonged to us, we had opportunities to score, we controlled the game, but in the second half we didn't come in properly, it's the second game at home, when it happens, after which we were not clear and we lost.
No, we are not making any drama, we know the championship, we know the teams that are becoming dangerous, we have to be careful, especially since we are in a position where we can still hope for the play-offs. We have nothing to dramatize.
We lost a match, we try to take points from the next match.
We do not have a handicap against CFR Cluj. They really have players from Europe, who know how to manage certain situations, the least pleasant ones, but I don't feel inferior, I have no reason to.
With a little luck, we could not lose”, Adrian Mihalcea said, according to digisport.ro.
