“We have to raise the bar” » What he said about the controversial phase at the end

The Romanian technician was unhappy with the men in the offensive and was unhappy with the inefficiency on the flanks. As for the controversial phase at the end, in which his students demanded a penalty for a handball by Ricci, Cristi Chivu decided not to comment because the phase was verified by the video referee.

The phase in which Ricci touches the ball with his hand

“We had a modest first half, conceding a goal. In the second half, we revved our engines and tried to play better. We had a few chances, then we tried to break their defensive block very low, changing the game system as well, but we couldn't equalize.”

We were imprecise. We got to the flanks without having a clear opportunity, an open ball to cross. Our crosses became an easy target for their defenders because we never managed to anticipate and hit the ball. But I repeat, it was a weak first half, without dynamism. They waited for us grouped defensively, counting on the counterattack. We have to raise the bar by continuing to do the good things we've done so far.”

We could and should have done better. The game always depends on the work of the forwards, who were lacking today, especially in the first half. But that's no excuse. I'm happy with what the two of them tried to do. It's always great for a young player to play these matches. We should have done better, we should have taken advantage of the opportunities,” Cristi Chivu said, according to fcinternews.it.

From my point of view, there is a VAR and an assistant AVAR who I think checked the phase, so I have nothing to comment on. I think about our performance, what I could have done better and my mistakes. We still have ten games and thirty points to play for. We must move forward and build on the good things done so far.

The difference is still seven points. We must continue to have our usual benefits. Nothing would change, even if today's result would have been different.
