Bogdan Andone reacted after FC Argeș – CFR Cluj 0-1: “It's a big disappointment. We had 2-3 very big situations to score”
“Very difficult to comment on this defeat, very difficult to accept. We were far from the goal phase, we haven't seen the goal again. It's frustrating, with the only shot on goal…
I do not comment on arbitration. It's a big disappointment. I had 2-3 very big situations to score. We knew that CFR is an experienced team that takes advantage of opportunities, and we gifted them this goal.
To bring the trophy, to present himself and bring the Cup! I can't wait to see them. How do I get it? That if we concede two more goals like this, we won't bring any Cup. Naturally I am very angry. U Cluj is a much better team. He has 10 consecutive victories.
They beat us 2 weeks ago, it's clear that they are better. We know very well what U Cluj means, as a game and as support. I do not comment further. I'm waiting for Mr. Bîrsan to arbitrate for us and for us not to show up for the game,” Bogdan Andone said in a flash interview, according to orangesport.ro.
On April 21, from 19:30, FC Argeș will receive a visit from U Cluj in the semi-final of the Romanian Cup. Later, for Bogdan Andone's team, there will be a home match against Craiova University, scheduled for April 27, from 20:30.
