University of Craiova – Arges 0-1. Filipe Coelho, the coach of Olten, was disturbed by the fragmentation of Pitesti on “Ion Oblemenco”, in the first stage of the Superliga play-off.

The Portuguese took responsibility for the failure, then spoke again about the fact that he was suspended for two legs for receiving the red card with CFR Cluj. Then, he received the second yellow for entering the field to celebrate Baiaram's goal.

Coelho is to return to the bench for the match against Dinamo, on March 19, in the second stage of the play-off.

Filipe Coelho: “We had opportunities, we didn't score, then the game stopped again and again”

“It wasn't a good performance. We had a chance to score, but in the second half we came in differently, with a better attitude. Am tried to score, but the game kept stopping many times. We had opportunities, we didn't score, then the game stopped again and again.

I take full responsibility for the defeat. In the second half we had some good opportunities, we couldn't impose our rhythm, the match that the match kept being stopped. It's hard to dominate when the opponent is fragmenting the game.

We found spaces at one point, but we didn't score,” said Filipe Coelho, on Prima Sport 1.

Asked if his absence from the bench, due to suspension, contributed to this failure, Coelho replied wryly:

“It was important for the team to have the coach on the bench, but these are the rules. I'll see if I'll be on the bench next game. I don't know. I got two rounds of suspension, maybe I'll get some more for saying the wrong thing now“.

FC Argeș has a good team with a good coach. It will be difficult in the future as well, we have to analyze this match, why we didn't go into the first half as we wanted.
