FC Arges – University of Craiova 0-1. Bogdan Andone (51 years old), the home team's technician, gave the first reaction after tonight's failure. In the context in which his team lost the third game in the play-off at the limit (0-1), he offered a surprising reaction.
Andon he would prefer his team to lose a game drastically, by a river score, than to struggle and be so close every time to a good result.
He claims that a draw was fairer and has nothing to blame the footballers.
Bogdan Andone, statements after FC Argeș – Universitatea Craiova 0-1: “Rather than losing endlessly like this…”
“I think a draw would have been more fair. We had some very good chances in the second half, we didn't capitalize on them. We met the team in first place, you can't create ten chances to score. I'm sorry that a game has gone by and we haven't picked up points.
There are several players who were not at their maximum capacity today, it's normal, it's the end of the season, we're also an extremely limited team. We had no offensive solutions on the bench, absolutely nothing. A state of physical and mental fatigue accumulated, it was very, very difficult for Sadriu.
It's not easy and I understand the boys, I want to congratulate them for their effort and attitude, even if the first half didn't have the desired pace and intensity. In the second half we looked better.
I'm waiting for a game where we lose 4 or 5-0, the opponent is very good, I'd rather sleep peacefully. Rather than losing endlessly, it's the third match lost 1-0, undeserved, plus the Cup semi-final lost on penalties.
A series of events and frustrating results. Let's lose 4-5-0, let the opponents be good, let's not manage to block them, let's sleep peacefully, but like this, match by match, losing 1-0, with goal situations, and today a fixed phase, it's very difficult for the players as well.
I have nothing to comment on the refereeing, I congratulated them during the break and after the game”, said Bogdan Andone, at Prima Sport.
We are trying to finish as high as possible, I can't accept to finish in 6th place, I am convinced that we are not the weakest team in the play-offs, we have proven it so far, I think that none of the three games we lost we deserved to lose.
