Eduard Pap, statements after Csikszereda – Unirea Slobozia 2-1: “I would be a hypocrite to say that it is not a mistake”

In the end, Eduard Pap was happy for the success, but admitted his mistake in goal. However, he also attributed Pop's success to luck, taking into account the spectacular execution.

“A big win, we are happy, we needed it, we are happy, we are happy, we were coming after two defeats. At home we haven't lost lately, we play good matches, we collect points, but we also have to focus on the away games to collect points from there as well.

We have to do everything possible to take points with Rapid. I haven't seen Pop's goal phase yet, I'd be a hypocrite to say it's not a mistake. I went perfectly, I reach the ball perfectly, my bad luck that the ball reaches the opponent.

It happens once in a hundred matches that you give the first shot and it falls directly into the goal, and on this field, in this weather. We are happy that we won and that phase doesn't matter anymore.

It was bad luck. If I clear to the left or to the right, the ball doesn't reach him anymore and it was a perfect outlet. We came back, we won the match, that's important”, said Pap, at Digi Sport.
