Cristiano Bergodi, 61 years old, is not worried after the failure with CFR Cluj (0-1) and confidently awaits the last 4 stages of the Superliga, three of which will be at home
U Cluj collected two consecutive failures in the championship after a series of 7 victories in a row in the Superliga. Transylvania lost with Dinamo, 1-2, and with CFR Cluj, 0-1, but they continue the fight for the title. He is waiting to see the result of tonight's round between FC Argeș and Universitatea Craiova, to see if he will have points to recover from the opponent for the title.
In this match, without the Mioveni match, U and Craiova are tied on points. With CFR Cluj two points behind, with Dinamo 5 points away.
Cristiano Bergodi does not despair: “Let's not make a tragedy”
If at the moment when U Cluj collected victories after victories and administered a 4-0 second to the Juves, Cristiano Bergodi, 61 years old, kept his speech balanced, currently, the Italian does not give up on his ideas.
“We're moving forward. I don't blame anything, with these players we got this far, plus in the final of the Romanian Cup. Let's not cause who knows what tragedy! I can only thank the players for the journey so far.
In attack (with CFR Cluj) we were beheaded, without Lukic. I tried, I changed, but it's not easy for Gheorghiță, for Trică, they don't have minutes on their feet. There are moments. With Dinamo it was after a series of 7 victories in a row…
With Argesul, let's see who plays well, a tough team that doesn't let you play well. Let's see what happens at FC Argeș – Craiova”, reacted Bergodi after the failure in Gruia.
How is the situation in U Cluj's locker room: “The boys were strong. I don't think a fall will follow”
U Cluj has a home match against FC Argeș on Saturday. Players are not affected by the two defeats in a row. For the “Red Caps” there are 4 more stages in the championship, of which they will play against Argeș, Rapid and end the championship with Dinamo at home. He only plays away with Craiova, in Banie.
“The guys were strong in the locker room. We've got three games at home, we can do something good. We're fighting, we're not giving up. Honestly, I'm not worried about (the two losses).
There are matches in a long series, fatigue intervened. We're not Barcelona… We're not looking for excuses, but it's hard to play three games in a week. We are not looking for alibis, but the lack of freshness was seen.
I saw the players in the dressing room, they were talking to each other, I don't think there will be a fall or something that will affect us so much. Fight and CFR Cluj for the 1st place, fight, fight, he has a solid game”, Cristiano Bergodi also stated.
