Eugen Neagoe gave the statement of the evening after Rapid

The Petrol coach also gave the statement of the evening. Trying to highlight the fact that Petrol suffered due to personal mistakes, the technician said that it was not the opponent who did them “harakiri”, a term that means something else.

• Harakiri, also known as seppuku, is a ritual suicide by slitting the abdomen, practiced by samurai in feudal Japan to regain honor, serve a sentence, or avoid dishonorable capture.

Eugen Neagoe, after Petrolul's away draw with Rapid: “We made a mistake, the opponents didn't make us “harakiri””

“I am a friend of Costel, I respect him. He managed some very valuable players, I didn't think he would manage so many. He is probably thinking about the Cup match with CFR. It was a busy schedule, some of my players felt the fatigue. We also had to make some substitutions, but my players deserve congratulations after this game against a very good team that is fighting for the championship.

I don't think I was any lower than the Rapid tonight. If we were a little more careful, I think we could have walked away with all 3 points.

The attitude was the same in all the games, I have nothing to blame the players. Since I arrived, we have lost only one away game, in Arad, in the end, from a free kick. At home we lost because we gave gifts to the opponents. We made a mistake, our opponents did not “harakiri”“, declared Eugen Neagoe, at Prima Sport.

I kept reading after the match with Dinamo that we equalized after an error by the opposing goalkeeper. But how did Dinamo score? A player from us made a wrong pass. So they also scored by mistake, just as we scored
