Constantin Dean, president of the Romanian Handball Federation, was surprised by the statements he made at the Pro Arena regarding the European Championship, which Romania finished in 12th place.

Konstantin Dean – refereeing mistakes are shared

The president of the Romanian Handball Federation confirmed that indeed Romania was at a disadvantage due to the referee team from Austria (Ana Vranes and Marlis Wenninger), but claims that there were mistakes on both sides.

In addition, Konstantin Dean stated that during a closer inspection, he noticed that the national team coached by Florentin Pera was helped in several situations, which is why he reconsidered the decision to refer the complaint to the EGF.

“A judge with very, very many mistakes. Mistakes on both sides. Arbitration, which theoretically should not be at the European Championship.

I don’t know what attitude you expect. We believe that we have done our job, we held discussions with almost all the present members of the European Federation on the spot.

Things are obvious to everyone and to say that she was a thief is too much. No foul play, it was very, very bad officiating.

You think that most decisions were against Romania, my opinion is different.

I can say that I am quite good at refereeing. I don’t think it’s about theft.

If you can analyze this match again, you will see that the errors are distributed in a balanced balance.

Apart from the double dribble at the end, mistakes are shared. If you want me to give you an objective and relevant opinion, there are more mistakes in our favor than in favor of Montenegro.

This is reality.

Rewatched the match to know whether it is appropriate to make a memorial, protest and educate the thief or not. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about.

Even if I don’t like it, it’s reality. I can prove it to you with the stages in the game. I don’t know if it’s a good thing that I’m the only one saying these things.

I have compiled these solutions so that we can know if we are making a note or not.

If you want us to keep complaining and blaming others all the time, we can do that. I support this view, it is realistic, and I wish we would stop blaming others.” Florentine Dean recalled.

“Indeed, we were completely defeated in the match with Holland. Those refereeing errors are mostly in favor of the Dutch national team, but in the match against Montenegro it is not so. Maybe it’s weird what I’m saying, but that’s it.

We can argue with KFC that we don’t agree, but anyone can watch the match and prove it.

They can say: “Where do you see only mistakes in favor of Montenegro?” Look how many mistakes are in Romania’s favor.” If you want us to complain, we all complain.” – he added.

Konstantin Ding also appreciated the game of the team coached by Florentin Pera

Although the Romanian national team took only 12th place at this European Championship, the president of the Romanian Handball Federation says he is satisfied with the development of the girls.

“This is an encouraging development. This is the most important thing, this is what we established before the European Championship, that we must necessarily change the attitude and involvement of the members of the national team in order to achieve a result.

It’s a very good step, even if it’s 12th place. From what we saw at the European Championship, it’s a promising change and very good results are sure to come.” – said Konstantin Ding.
