Constantin Zotta, about the first penalty: “It's too easily given”

The first penalty came after a duel in the box between Caro and Roman, the striker of FC Voluntari. Constantin Zotta believes that it was dictated too easily.

“It seems to me that the first one is given very easily. That's not the reason why I think Roman falls, but Roman is a smart striker who knows how to take advantage. There's something there, you can see that the head also moves a little, but it's very little. We'll never see such a penalty in a strong championship.

How many touches are there at each corner… It's easy. It's a negligent attack. It has regulatory support. It has regulatory support, but it is given very easily. It's negligence. A soft penalty.

At Arsenal – PSG we never had a penalty in such a phase. Roman has no interest in jumping. That shot with the hand can be considered a circumstance, but it is given with great ease,” said Zotta, on Prima Sport 1.

Constantin Zotta, about the second penalty: “Simulation”

Remus Guțea scored the second penalty of Ilfoven, after a race in the opponent's box. He fell after a duel with Stancu. Zotta believes that the footballer from Voluntari faked it.

The second one is gross simulation. He leaves his leg behind. Even if he touches it, this touch does not cause him to fall. It's simulation. Even if there is touch, it does not cause him to fall. He leaves his leg behind.

The left leg is left behind on purpose. This fall, this way of throwing yourself. The first one still has circumstances, not here.
