In addition to Ngezana, who claimed a medical problem in the warm-up, Juri Cisotti and Daniel Graovac left the field injured. The stopper came off at half-time, while the midfielder limped off the pitch in the 68th minute.
Elias Charalambous, after FCSB – FC Botoșani: “Graovac and Cisotti had muscle problems, tomorrow we will talk to the doctor”
“It's important that we won, that was the goal, we achieved it. We created many chances, we had the chance to score 3-4 goals. We conceded a goal after misses, but it's good that we reacted. We should have made our match easier, had a bigger advantage. I always say that the hardest thing is to create chances, in the last three games we managed to have important chances.
There is also the moment we are going through: we know that we must win points to increase our chances. When you gain confidence, goals come easier. I'm glad we're producing so many chances, that's the hard part. I think I played very well today. The players did what we asked of them, both with and without the ball.
We reacted quickly on the transitions, it was a good match, we could have scored more. That's football: it's clear that we should have scored more to finish the game faster. We have to recover, on Sunday we have a match in Galați, it is another final. Sometimes we have to defend ourselves better. We could have scored from set-pieces, the ball went past the goal, then we conceded a goal. Graovac and Cisotti had muscle problems, tomorrow we will talk to the doctor and see how long they will be on the sidelines.
Joao Paulo entered well, he had confidence. A very good thing is that Thiam played very well, he is doing well in training and he had a good match. When you fight, God gives you goals, and today Thiam also received his portion”, said Elias Charalambous, at Prima Sport.
