Unirea Slobozia – Rapid 1-2. Claudiu Niculescu (49 years old), the home team's technician, reached three consecutive failures: 0-1 with Dinamo, 0-3 with Craiova and 1-2 with Rapid. At the end of tonight's game, he made a decision that Alexandru Albu (32 years old), Slobozia's midfielder, revealed.

He explained that the technician did not enter the dressing room after the match. The reason? The anger and frustration generated by another setback, especially in the context that Slobozia had equalized at 1 in the 57th minute and were hoping to get at least a draw.

Claudiu Niculescu did not enter the dressing room after Unirea Slobozia – Rapid 1-2: “He is angry”

White he scored the goal for the Ialomists, and at the end he specified that the anger caused Niculescu to stop talking to the players in the dressing room immediately after the failure.

“Mister didn't come to the locker room. He's upset. That's normal, everybody's upset. I don't think anyone's happy or excited. Even though we played with the best teams in the championship, that's no excuse.

We don't have to apologize, you have to come off the field before the game, thinking only about victory. If you doubt it, then it shows on the field. And we have to change this, otherwise we will not succeed”, said Albu, according to digisport.ro.

The results recorded by Claudiu Niculescu on the bank of Slobozia

Unirea Slobozia – Farul 2-1
Dinamo – Unirea Slobozia 1-0
Unirea Slobozia – University of Craiova 0-3
Unirea Slobozia – Rapid 1-2

It is normal when you have defeats, especially when you have such an opponent, not to be very lucid, to be a little fearful. Once we got over that fear, I think we were able to trouble Rapid, that's a promising thing for what's to come.
