How CFR Cluj reacted after Dan Petrescu's suspension

In contrast, the president of the Transylvanians, Cristi Balaj, commented on the commission's decision and criticized the lack of communication of the arbitrators during the parties. In addition, he said he was waiting for the situations carefully.

It is important what happened and until elimination. It was also a goal … It is to be discussed whether it was a foul or not, when Păun left the ground, and if he was a hen at Mogoș. Being these situations, plus many more, but also because of the less successful game … it happens to others

But it is normal for a coach to be sanctioned and we must respect the decisions. It is normal that when he is wrong, a coach will respect the consequences, regardless of his name. But it is important for those from CCA to analyze what happens to the arbitrators who, with quotes, cause certain reactions, through the mistakes they make. When mistakes appear, the referees should think that they are partakers and that without them, these reactions would not have existed.

When I was a referee, I eliminated all the coaches who had such behavior. That's why I say we have to respect the commission's decision. But I chose my moments better. When I felt that I didn't make a right decision during the game or I had repeated decisions against a team, I did everything I depended on me to wear a dialog. And I only eliminated when I could not communicate or exceed a limit.

In the past, there was better communication between referees and coaches. I would like that warning, that verbal warning, a communication. I would like to go to the coach “Please calm down, because I will be forced to see a card.” This is no longer.

The coaches live differently. I was also a referee, and now I communicate with Dan Petrescu and I see him living a mec. He is an effervescent coach, lives differently from other coaches, who are calmer, “said Cristi Balaj on the show” Digisport Special “.
