Ianis Zicu (42 years old), the coach from Farul, scolded his players at the end failure with Csikszeredascore 0-1, from the 30th round of the Superliga.
Farul reached 3 failures in a row in the domestic competition. Ianis Zicu reproached his students for the fact that they conceded a goal from the fixed phase, in the context in which he drew their attention all week to be careful in such moments.
Ianis Zicu, after Csikszereda – Farul: “We are trying to find solutions”
“There's a lot to talk about at the moment, I wouldn't want to say things that maybe it's better to keep to myself. We lost a game that started in such a way that it looked like it could bring us a positive result.
Then came the missed penalty, then the goal in stoppage time. I think I told them all week that they are very good at set-pieces, probably the best in the league at this.
I'm just thinking about the next game, which is of utmost importance, we don't have to look beyond that. It's a crash, we're trying to find solutions. It's the third defeat in a row and unfortunately we haven't come out of this slump yet. This moment is an important one.
I don't care about absences, players don't have to have that alibi, but you can't win when you don't score. Disappointment is not the most important thing, but to realize what we have to do and do more in the game. When you go in angry and start the next match without confidence… the important thing is that we all give more.
At this point, I think the important and more experienced players must be ahead of Rafael Munteanu. He has his future, but the important thing is that the players react in the next match. Many players experienced the same feeling last year, the difference in points is tiny, and, unfortunately, the season is very similar to the last one”, said Ianis Zicu, at Prima Sport.
