The coach and the player received the red card and will receive a first verdict from the Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday.
Until then, the Italian will be fined by his own club. The announcement was made by the president Dear Constantia.
He claims that he did not think about replacing Bergodi, and U Cluj expects that the technician will not be suspended for a long period of time.
Cristiano Bergodi will receive a fine from U Cluj: “It is clear that we do not support what happened”
Constantea also gave her answer to Iuliu Mureșan, the president of CFR Cluj. He claimed that Bergodi was out of his mind since the 85th minute and wanted to enter the field, an aspect denied by the head of the “students”.
“Cristiano Bergodi is already on a suspension period and there is no question of him sitting on the bench for the next match. The technical staff will determine their duties during this period.
The meeting of the Disciplinary Commission will follow, but we will also present our arguments. We expect a suspension, but we hope it will be a minimal one provided by the regulation.
Some information has appeared in the public space that has nothing to do with reality. I'm sorry that Mr. Muresan came out with some statements that are not real. He's talking about the 85th minute, which doesn't exist.
Until the phase when Andrei Cordea starts addressing suburban words to Mr. Bergodi, somewhere around minute 92:40 – 92:45, he did nothing. Then we see the first reaction of Cristiano Bergodi.
After that phase, about 30 seconds in, the player Cordea continues and once again shows obscene signs in the direction of our coach.
I don't know what Mr. Muresan saw, that there isn't that 85th minute. It's not true, it's about a minute and a half when Cristiano Bergodi was agitated. It is clear that we do not support what happened and we have conveyed to Mr. Bergodi that he will receive a fine. The trigger must also be seen“, declared Radu Constantea, for digisport.ro.
Taking into account the fact that he received the red card, Cristiano Bergodi will not be on the bench for the match against Oțelul Galați, on Wednesday, in the Romanian Betano Cup.
“Students” are in 2nd place in group C, with 4 points, tied with the opponent.
