“We're not the same age!”

Neagoe declared himself satisfied with the result, although he would have been much more satisfied with the three points in the account. He only had words of praise for Sălceanu, the scorer of the 1-1 goal, he spoke about the dispute on the sidelines with Tavi Popescu and about the team's goal at the end of 2025.

Eugen Neagoe's conclusions, after the draw with FCSB

“We took a point, I would have liked us to be more inspired, to leave with the 3 points, even if in front there was a very valuable opponent. We know what players they have, from the national team.

We talked to the players before the match, let's respect them, but not really, we started out apprehensive, it wasn't what we set out to do.

I wanted to move faster with the changes, but I'm not doing that because I don't want the people I'm replacing to be upset that they had a modest evolution.

We changed 2 defensive players at half time, not because they didn't play well, we had to do something in the second half.

We started well, we equalized, if we were careful on the counterattacks, we could have scored the second goal. And FCSB had dangerous moments, that's football, but it's not simple.

Sălceanu has grown a lot, he comes after a period of inactivity, he played for the national youth team, he has potential, he can grow, he is strong, he can reach the opposing goal in many moments, he was inspired, as were the two unders, as Stoian scored.

It's good for us, encouragingly, that we scored against FCSB, I think it's a fair result for how the game went.

Tavi Popescu was also angry, we talked after the match, he said something, he answered me and that was all, he didn't swear at the boy, it doesn't matter, I had no reason to be eliminated, I didn't offend anyone, I didn't deserve to be eliminated, I didn't use any inappropriate words, he didn't have to give me a yellow.

It's good that we don't lose, but very good to win, to get 3 points, to go up in the standings. 4 more matches in the championship and a cup match with Craiova in Ploiesti, I would like to win them all, but I don't know if we will succeed.

We have players who can tie a game, decide a game, I wish we could have tied it, we only got one point unfortunately. We're going home, they have a day off tomorrow, training from Monday, we have a tough match against Metaloglobus and we have to play better than tonight”, said Eugen Neagoe, on “Digi Sport Special”.

He didn't offend me, he told me something. I told him that we can't talk lper a per tu, that we are not the same age. He had to be a little more careful too, he's a lot smaller than me, first of all. He didn't offend me, he came and apologized. I respect the opponents, I respect the people from FCSB. He didn't swear at me, he didn't offend me
