Dan Petrescu (57 years old), the technician of those from CFR Clujreacted after his team's failure, score 0-2 with Fc Argeș, even in his match with the number 800 as a coach.
The technician accused the lack of value in the grinded lot of many injuries and said he would need at least two players.
Dan Petrescu asks for other transfers to CFR Cluj: “Two players have shown that they are not of the team level”
“Our opponents had bad luck in the first two parties, but this time they took advantage of the moment. They knew that our team is decimated because of the accidents, that we focused on European matches. I was expecting more from my players.
Argeș was worth the victory. We could tie two or three phases, but there is no point. They were more pragmatic, they knew when to mark. If the first half ends 0-0, otherwise the match was running. I was waiting for the end of the first half to make the changes. It was a weak match on our part.
I don't like to sacrifice anything. Throughout my career I liked to win the matches. Now everyone has seen what players they can play. I don't like to criticize players in public, But today it has been clear that two of them cannot play at the CFR level. I didn't have a good training, it was too short.
We have five injured players. I think FCSB also has about five. With those players we could have done two teams. That's how we had to resort to some who may not have played. The injuries are lasting. I don't know if we can bring good players now.
The pressure is high with Lugano. It's an extraordinary team. They will also play on the grass. It will be a balanced match. Unfortunately, I lost Muhar. I hope nobody was injured today.
If, God forbid, it doesn't end well with Lugano, we will go to Conference League. But we want to qualify on Thursday. We have a lot of injured. There should be two more players. If Muhar and Kamara are missing for a longer period, they must be replaced. What we have now is not enough, they are not of their value“, Dan Petrescu told the show” Football Club “, from Digi Sport.
How did the “first 11” show the CFR at the match with FC Argeș: Hindrich – Kun, Bolgado, Dumbrăvanu, Abeid – Păun, Fică, Deac – Samake, Gjorgjievski, Sfait.
During the match, they entered the field: Nkololo, Korenica, Badamosi, Louis Munteanu and Virgiliu Postolachi.
After today's match we draw the line about some players. We got an idea. It's important to play. In the situation where few are likely to evolve, it is important to transfer somewhere to play. We must reach the groups of a European competition.
