Sepsi OSK and CSM Reșița met on Saturday in a match in the round with number 19 of the 2nd league, where the Covăsne team won decisively with a score of 5-0. At the end of the game, Flavius Stoican, the coach of Resisi, raged at the way his students handled this game.
The 49-year-old technician declared himself disappointed by the result that may affect Reșita in order to qualify for the second league play-off, implicitly in the fight for promotion to the Super League. He noticed very big differences between the two halves, considering that at halftime the score was 0-0, and at the end the score was 5-0 in favor of the team from Sfântu Gheorghe.
Flavius Stoican: “We gave the adversaries a treat”
“It's hard to explain what happened. In the first half we were a team that tried to play and I don't think there was any difference between us and Sepsi. In the second half we lost the balls very easily and this almost every time led to counter-attacks or opportunities for the opponents. It's a reproach we make ourselves.
It is not possible to be in possession, lose the ball, and the next phase concede a goal. In the defensive phase I gave gifts, so to speak, I offered marigoldsthat March is still coming. It bothers me enormously because we are not aware enough of how we treat certain phases.
I want us to get over this match as quickly as possible and to do in such a way that those who will enter the match with Corvinul play as well as we did in the first half today. We have to lick our wounds and understand that at a higher level football is played with maximum attention in every phase.
Probably some have reached their maximum level. In the second half we saw our limits, especially in individual duels. Maybe I got my hopes up too high, but I thought we could do more. It seems that when we meet a strong team, we hit our own limits. It was a bad day, but I don't want us to lose hope,” said Flavius Stoican, according to caon.ro.

For the formation trained by Flavius Stoican, there is a duel with the leader Corvinul, scheduled for March 7, from 11:00 a.m., in Reșita.
