Bogdan Andone, after Petrolul – Argeș 2-1: “Physical and mental fatigue”
“We knew it was going to be a difficult game, especially in terms of defensive set-pieces, because we were facing a big team. But I don't think that was the biggest problem. From the 60th minute, physical and mental fatigue was felt on our partbecause it cost us the game on Tuesday, in the snow, and the very next day after the game, the boys were complaining of muscle fever.
There were atypical physical moves that night and even though most of them only played one inning, the consumption was too high and gradually we started to lose duels and the Oil put on some pressure.”
Bogdan Andone: “Dani said everything there was to say”
Andone declined to comment on the referee's controversial decision. In the 86th minute, Sierra's goal was disallowed because Petrescu whistled before the ball entered the net and the phase could not be analyzed by VAR.
“I don't want to comment anything else about the arbitration. I think Dani (no Coman) has said everything there is to sayincluding about the clear penalty in the match against UTA and about the phase with today's goal, which, for me, remains incomprehensible. Dani explained the situation very well.
We had five games in 13 days, which consumed us a lot, especially since we don't have a large numerical batch. We also lost Emmers to injury and tried to rotate, but fatigue set in. The important thing is that there is a normal week ahead, in which we will prepare for Sunday's match with Farul. There are three more stages in which we have to earn points“, Andone declared in the flash interview.
