Florin Bratu, 46 years old, could not perform the miracle at Metaloglobus and concluded, with much bitterness, that the disappointment is great. However, he is proud of the attitude of his students, believes that his team dominated Unirea Slobozia and does not disarm until the end of the season.
Following this result, Metaloglobus was mathematically relegated to the second echelon. Florin Bratu took over the team at the beginning of March, already in an extremely difficult situation, since then ticking off 3 draws, 3 failures and a success in the position of A1 of the band from Pantelimon.
Florin Bratu: “This is how we will behave until the end of the season”
“Of course it's painful, everyone wanted to save themselves. I came and tried to improve things. It was not easy to come after 29 stages in which 22 were defeats. I am satisfied with how my boys fought, I think we were much superior to Slobozia, but they surprised us in the goal.
I'm glad we had a different reaction in the second half, we pressed more and after an inspiration, we equalized through Abbey. Then we could win. We deflated after the match with Csikszereda and I told them that now the last impression matters a lot, we are playing for our names and families“, declared “Mitraliera”, at the end of the game in Clinceni.
We don't have a very big budget, we're up to date and that's what matters in national level football. I think that Slobozia also imagined that he would take the 3 points easily, but he didn't.
This is how we will behave from now on. We also have injured starters, we don't have such a thick squad, but here those who came in manage to keep up and show that, in the future, they can be part of a good game and stay in the team.
