At the end of the game, the coach congratulated his team for the way they presented themselves.

Bogdan Andone, after FC Argeș – U Cluj: “It remains a disappointment”
“First of all, I want to congratulate the team for the way it fought and thank the supporters for their support. With a little chance, we could have made it 2-0. At the end, U Cluj put more pressure. I think that huge miss by Vadim Rață, from 5-6 meters, was a decisive moment. If we had scored there, we could have qualified.
There was also a psychological moment at the first penalty: it had been defended, it would have given us an advantage, both in terms of score and morale. Ok, it was repeated, I do not comment on the decision of the referees. However, as that penalty was repeated, it should have been repeated at Drammeh, which stopped. As far as I know, it is not regulated.
Robert Moldoveanu is one of our performers, but he couldn't continue, which gave us a bit of a headache. He won't be able to help us for a while. Bettaieb helped us a lot, he had a sensational season. It happens, any of the guys could miss.
The important thing is that we had attitude, we fought evenly with a very good team. It remains a disappointment, as it was with CFR Cluj, with U Cluj in the championship. One disappointment after another accumulates, we also fail to get a victory. As a result, not as a game, because from a game point of view, I think we rose to the level of our opponents.
We will try to finish as high as possible. I'm really very sorry. If we were more careful, we could have a point with U Cluj, at least one with CFR. With two more points I think we were in 3rd place there with five games to go. It's also the lack of experience”, said Bogdan Andone, at “Digi Sport Special”.
