UTA had a solid start of the season, and after seven stages he had suffered no failure. The first defeat eventually came on Friday, on the move from Giulești, and Mihalcea was aware after his match that his students were not able to rise to the level of expectations and that the victory of Gâlcă's team is deserved without a doubt.
Adrian Mihalcea draws an alarm signal, after the failure with Rapid: “We have to work even more”
“Tonight I did not make a brilliant match, a very weak first, they dominated us and they imposed the rhythm, many individual mistakes, we could not put almost problems at all. We came back from the booths a little better, but not with a game too much or a pressure too much.
I congratulate the Rapid team, much more determined, a higher quality than what we have shown. We wanted to go to the cup further, we managed as much as we could well, but contrary to our expectations we did not show well. We will do an analysis, it is early to think, everything is mental, it is important to overcome your condition if you want to fight to important goals.
8 stages have passed, we are talking about the first defeat after 8 stages, so it's okay. We practice, we will practice, we lose points on non -synchronization, it is responsibility, we have to work even more, here is the key, until they understand what we have to do. It was hard for me to see what was at Petrila, there was the VAR, I don't know if 2-0 or 3-0 would have changed something.
The match was won by the host team to attitude and plus value in the duels of 1 vs. 1. We have to be balanced, it is very easy to fall to the other side and to fail to win more matches, I do not know how aware our supporters are, I don't think they were thinking so far.
The objective is to win points, we took good points, we will try the next match to resume the victory series, “said Adrian Mihalcea, on Friday night, after the match” Digi Sport Special “, at Digi Sport.
