Tense moment at the end of the game. Extremely nervous, the technicians of the two teams were close to a physical conflict. Eugen Neagoe pushed the Italian, but things did not degenerate. At the end, the “wolves” technician explained the moment. He said that the CFR coach got too close to him, and that caused him to push him.
Eugen Neagoe explained why he pushed Andrea Mandorlini: “He came very close to me, do you want to scare me?”
“We had a very good attitude, aggressiveness, we gave ourselves. We had a great opportunity, that bar, it was normal for the goal to come. I am convinced that we were the better team, even if we met a team with valuable players. I would not want to talk, if CFR can afford to pay high salaries, well done to them, they have valuable players, even if the place in the ranking does not show it.
And we have valuable players, even if there are financial problems. The boys have been connected. I worked very hard and tonight I played a good game. I'm glad, apart from the 3 points. I saw fans leaving happy, I wish it was like that after every game.
Nothing happened at the end. The pressure of the result on both of us, and he was unhappy, and so was I. There were no insults. He came very close to me to say something to me and I said to him «go a little further, what, are you scaring me or what? I'm not that scared».
I will talk to him, he is a football man, I have nothing to share with him or anyone. CFR is a team that can fight with real chances in the play-offs. We want to get out of this situation”, said Eugen Neagoe, at Prima Sport.
