Florin Pîrvu, statements after missing the promotion with volunteers: “I do not understand anything”
“It is very difficult to speak now, when I go to the locker room and see the players suffering. He has lost penalties, and from my point of view, penalties are a lottery.
I want to congratulate the players of both teams, only the players, I tell you honestly. Only they led a double in very good intensity. I would like to say clearly that Volunteers have risen, maybe he even exceeded a Liga 1 team.
In no case do I congratulate Mihalcea. I am not interested in what he says, I have nothing to speak. Mr. Mihalcea should have argued, after the first match, what those words said at the flash-interview. Everyone remained like that, in a fog.
If, for Mr. Mihalcea, the word «arrogance» It means the opposing team to want to win the matches, then I don't understand anything. I said that I respect the Union Slobozia, I respect coach Adrian Mihalcea.
The team is created according to his profile, I said these things. But we want to win. How do I mean arrogant? If I am from Liga 2 are arrogant? God, I don't understand … and I don't want to go into any conflict. It was definitely another situation if I came to the team earlier, “said Florin Pîrvu, at the first sport.
These players from Voluntari are heroes. And tonight, except for the first half, in the second half and in extensions I showed as a first league team. I entered fearful in the first half, but at the break some things were set, and the players entered the second half.
I really wish to stay, I tell you honestly. With the infrastructure that exists at the volunteers, with the people who are now in the club, from my point of view, Voluntari deserves to have a team in the first league. I tell you and know what I'm talking about. Many teams in Liga 1 do not have our infrastructure. Volunteers deserve, before Slobozia, to be in the first league.
I wanted to wish Mihalcea's bad if he goes to Oil.
