CFR Cluj – U Cluj 3-2. Cristiano Bergodi, the coach of the University, decided not to participate in the flash-interview, after the scandal at the end of the game.
After the final whistle, Bergodi jumped to beat Andrei Cordea. He was hardly contained by the players of U. In the middle of the melee, the Italian hit Muhar, who also put his hand in the throat.
Instead of Bergodi, Eugeniu Cebotaru, U Cluj's secondary, was sent to the flash-interview, who declared that the “principal” did not feel well after the incidents at the end.
Eugeniu Cebotaru, second coach from U Cluj: “Cristiano Bergodi did not feel well”
“Mr. Bergodi couldn't come, he doesn't feel well after what happened. There was swearing, provocations. In the last 10 minutes there were some provocations from some people without credentials, I don't know who they are. They cursed“, declared Eugeniu Cebotaru, at Prima Sport 1.
“I think at least a draw was fair. We have to raise our heads, move forward towards our goal. We focus on our team, we move forward confidently”, said the second coach from U Cluj.
About Bergodi, if he thinks that I cursed him or had something to do with him, he is wrong, I had nothing to do with him. When it was the corner phase, mister was on the bench, he cursed me for no family reason, I cursed Nistor back the whole way, I wasn't pointing at the coach, I was pointing at the bench, what did I have to do with him?
I don't understand why he came to me after the game. I had no business with him, I pointed to the bank. I want to apologize to him if he thinks I had anything to do with him. I wouldn't allow myself to swear at him and I have no reason to, he has an age too.
