Erik Lincar, the coach of FC Bihor, raged at the end of the lost match on Friday, in Iasi, 1-2 with Politehnica, in the 12th stage of League 2.

Despite the fact that his team conceded as a result of a goal conceded in extra time, coach Erik Lincar's main complaint was the time delays in Romanian football.

Erik Lincar, disturbed by the time delays: “The poor goalkeepers, they are the most injured, they make a lot of effort, three steps, left – right, and they do the tricks”

“We have no pressure, we didn't run out of time, I will never allow us to run out of time. Our goalkeeper didn't get injured today in the last quarter of an hour. In League I and League II, the goalkeepers, the poor ones, are the most injured, they make a lot of effort, three steps, left – right, and they make tackles. I can't bear to see time lags, how are we progressing? That's how we're used to, with mythicity, we do it left – right.

You get scared when you analyze and see that 18 minutes out of 45 are played in one half. We have to do it like in basketball. When the ball goes out, I stop the timer! And let's play fair, honest football, let's not see this trick from League II and I. You also see that the champion team does this! Then you feel like leaving… With us, if a small team leads, from the 47th minute on, football is not played, it is played for another 15 minutes”, he said at the end of the match.

FC Bihor's objective is to avoid relegation!

Erik Lincar was not much affected, the technician claiming that his team aims to stay in the second echelon!

“A good first half from our side, not only because we led. We created two or three good situations. Iasi, especially after we scored, under the pressure of the fans, started to play randomly, with long balls, randomly. At half-time I told them that I wanted us to score the second goal, because I knew that if they managed to score…

Unfortunately, we concede the third goal in the last three legs in the same way: the same cross, the same lack of marking. We work a lot on this thing, but unfortunately it doesn't stick to us. About the final goal, what can I say. In the end it's chance, coincidence, chance. I congratulated my players for their effort”, said Lincar.

The technician added: “Congratulations to the home team, today they had their chance. I also lost promotions in the last seconds, it's quite hard to digest. In the second half we didn't have many chances, only a few, because it's about quality. We have some quality players, the problem is when you make changes. We made a lot of defensive changes, because in the end we hoped to get at least a point.

For that, at the end of the game we had six players over 1.86 meters. There are still stages, we want to win many points, to be high in the ranking. We don't have the goal of promotion, our main goal is to save from relegation and play beautiful football”.
