“It leaves us with a bitter taste”

Also, the veteran goalkeeper announced his intention to continue at FC Argeș in the next season as well, given the fact that he has one year left on his contract.

Cătălin Straton, after FC Argeș – Rapid 2-2: “There is no point in looking for culprits”

“It was a game where, overall, let's say we came out fair. That missed penalty left us with such a bitter taste. Rapid played well in the first half. I'm glad I played a good game and did my job.

I really hope they don't talk about the age thing anymore, because I'm a professional boy and I want to play. I don't want to leave Pitesti, but I want to stay here. I hope to have more chances to play. I have one year left on my contract.

I prepare for every training session, I'm a positive guy and I'm a team player. Like any footballer, I want to play until I drop. I just want to play. I will see with the goalkeeping coach what I did and what I didn't do wrong in this game.

Yes, it's a bitter taste, but the same player (No. Matos) qualified us for the play-off, with that goal against Dinamo. There is really no point in looking for culprits. He is my friend and will remain my friend whether he misses a penalty or scores a goal.

I think we could have done a lot more in this play-off, but I think almost the maximum was done. Maybe we could score 3-6 more points. There are many games lost at the limit. No one came to say that he dominated us”, said Cătălin Straton, according to digisport.ro.
