“If this happens, it's serious!”

The winner of 4 trophies with Rapid, two Cups and two Supercups, pointed the finger at Alexandru Pașcanu for the 1st and 3rd goals scored by Farul. In dialogue with GSP.ro, Costin Lazar he emphasized the individual mistakes in the game of Constantin Gâlcă's team.

In the 1-0 goal scored by Farul, Ișfan turned Pașcanu twice, then scored with a “ladder”. At the 3rd goal, Ișfan also dribbled past the Rapid's stopper, then passed to Vînă, who established the final score.

Costin Lazăr: “He passed Pașcanu very easily in goals”

“A rather painful defeat for Rapid, but it is not an accident, because Farul plays football, they also beat Craiova. Farul is quite good, they play football, they are a team of the moment.

They can have a fantastic game to beat anyone in the championship, but also take a beating from anyone in League 1. So Farul is an unpredictable team, who when they play football are hard to stop.

From my point of view, it was very easy for Pașcanu to score goals. There were mistakes in defense. The biggest mistake was that Rapid played one on one with the opponents.

Pașcanu was turned back too easily in the first goal, in the third it's all his fault. Very easily removed from the game in the box. There were individual mistakes. It was also the goalkeeper (no – Iliev), who made the penalty”, said Costin Lazăr, for GSP.ro.

Costin Lazăr: “Rapid fights for the title, you can't refer to a single match”

Costin Lazăr is still optimistic about the fight for the title and believes that patience is needed at Rapid.

“But the Rapid is up there. That's it, it happens in football, there are also less good matches or a less good period. I say it can recover and still fight in the championship. You can't relate to one game.

All the teams in the play-offs have this inconsistency. Apart from Dinamo and Craiova, almost all of them are inconstant. They are still playing and Rapidul is safe, clearly in the play-offs.

Rapid has a strong enough squad to fight for the title, I like the acquisitions this winter. But you need patience. If they treat a defeat as if the world has ended, that's bad, because then there's pressure that spills over onto the team.

But I say that you have to be patient until the end of the championship”, said the former midfielder from Giulești, currently a coach at Progresul Fundulea, from League 3.

Costin Lazăr: “Rapid's supporters have always been passionate and couldn't stand letting go”

Asked about the storming of the gallery, which cursed the players at Ovidiu, Costin Lazăr said:

“You have to have strong nerves to be a player at Rapid, that's clear. But it's nothing new, Rapid supporters have always been passionate and couldn't stand let-down. This match probably inspired some let-down”.

Costin Lazăr: “At League 1 level, mistakes make the difference”

“At Ligue 1 level, mistakes make the difference, not everything is necessarily related to the team's play. An individual mistake is not conclusive to the team's play. I mean if you have a good game and one player makes a mistake, does that mean the team played badly? That's what happens, individual mistakes destabilize the game and everyone's work.

Let's not talk about a match now. They had very good matches and matches where, that is, the opposing team is better. The game waits for the mistake and it depends on who makes the mistake”, Costin Lazăr also declared.

I like Petrila and Christensen the most from Rapid. They sound important to what Rapid is playing.

Aioani is a good goalkeeper, he has been the holder of the position for some time, that is, a goalkeeper that Rapidul relies on. His exit also mattered.
