Marko Dugandzic, injured after a missed penalty – Rapid, two unsuccessful games in the Super League

Giulesti managed just one point in the 0-0 draw against Mioveni and Adrian Mutu believes the refereeing put his side at a disadvantage.

“We dominated, we also had some setbacks, a missed penalty and a lot of opportunities, especially in the second half. He entered the 1st half at a height, and entered the second half well, unlucky.

I saw the replay and I think that such a penalty cannot be repeated. The player was half a meter in the box, I think we see a lot of penalties like that and they don’t happen again.

Plus a clean penalty in Ionica, he was held for a few seconds before he went down. I think the refereeing was clearly against us and that’s why we didn’t win the three points.

I’m not worried about the lack of efficiency, I’d be worried if we didn’t get there. Today we were unable to realize at least one of the opportunities we had.

The boys missed a lot, but that’s all, including Dugandzic, who we have nothing to blame, because his goals helped us reach the goal.

We are moving forward. In the second half, I don’t know if they got to the goal, I don’t know if they hit the goal. It was visible on the field, it was also normal, there is a big difference in the rating.

The bowl is full defensively, we were almost perfect, we didn’t give them a chance to trouble us at almost any point. So more attention in front of the goal, that’s the point.” – said “Brilliant”.

Giulesti’s coach also spoke about the moment he replaced Marko Dugandzic, who missed a penalty after the first goal.

“I changed him because he was overwhelmed, you could see it. He always wants to score, he was in a difficult moment psychologically. The fans were with him, it is impossible to forget what he did for the club.

They mentioned his name, we wanted to win, we have such a desire to win, but criticism is also good. Let’s become as strong as possible.” – concluded Adi Mutu, reports Digi Sport.
