Dorinel Munteanu, nervous after FC Hermannstadt lost the match with CFR Cluj: “It was decided by other factors, not by the players”

Dorinel Munteanu, coach of the FC Hermannstadt team, criticized the refereeing of the brigade led by Andrei Chivulete, after the defeat with CFR Cluj, score 0-1, in the 27th stage of the SuperLiga.

The only goal of the game was scored by Biliboc, in the 53rd minute, and both teams missed a penalty: the hosts through Florescu ('45+4), and the guests through Korenica ('85).

In the 90th+5th minute, Chivulete had given a penalty for Hermannstadt after a duel between Sinyan and Cubotaru, but he changed his mind after seeing the phase again on the VAR monitor.

“It was a match decided not by the players, but by other factors, I don't know how those who lead the game treat or interpret the phases, it doesn't seem normal to me. It was a game in which we should have received what was due. I'm not referring to the last phase, but to the too easily given penalty (not missed by Korenica), the last phase, the time-outs that are very important in the economy of the game.

It was a hard defeat to bear, we faced a strong team, but if it was 1-0, we scored from the penalty, the game was different. I am responsible and I am very disappointed with how the game went. Unfortunately, there are other and more serious parties affected by those who lead the arbitration. I don't care, they interpret as they want, I can't tell you, it hurts the team.

A little attention to the extra-football side, who leads. I was comforted by the result. Penalty in the last second. Why are we not receiving? There was also a hent, a foul on Kevin, everyone interprets according to their soul, but their soul is limited. A team, an entire city suffers here. We're moving on, 3 more tough matches await us.

I don't want to move the direction on the lawn, today the direction is towards who made the difference on the field, there are things decided at the last second, that's it, let's move on. I don't want to be taken in the name of evil, but they have to be more careful.

And they should have a little discernment, to decide the phases as they should. At Slobozia we played without VAR, there are things put together, we are in the situation we are in. They need to be a little more careful about key decisions. After the game, I don't really talk to the players, it's clear that they are upset, they are affected by the whole situation that we have to end”, said Dorinel Munteanu, according to orangesport.ro.

Following this result, FC Hermannstadt occupies 15th place, with only 17 points, while CFR Cluj accumulated 44 points and climbed to 5th place, in the play-off.
