FKSHB lost on Sunday evening to UTA Arad (3:1), and the Romanian vice-champion’s performance was very modest, especially in the second half.

Florinel Coman blamed the pitch after the defeat in Arad

Scorer of a wonderful goal in the opposition at the Franz von Neumann Stadium in Arad, Florinel Coman was quite honest at the end of the game and blamed the pitch for the modest performance of him and his colleagues.

“We had a very difficult game, on an equally difficult pitch, with a team that wanted a result, that prepared very well for the game, won aerial duels.

We couldn’t play our game, we didn’t have good possession, less duels across the field. UTA deserved to win.

I told you the reasons why we lost, we couldn’t hit the second ball, they came in with long balls, we didn’t have a compact team, we were idle.

We had chances, we could have won 2-1 at half-time, that’s all, we’re very sorry. We tried to play, but unfortunately it’s normal when the coverage gives us problems. You have seen the field we play at home and the football we play at home.

I feel sorry for the fans who came in huge numbers to support us. At the end, they told us to keep our heads down, that such things still happen.

Yes, we can go back, of course, from tomorrow we start all over again. It was a lost game. If I played on a good surface and played in the hall where I played, yes, I could say…” Coman said, according to Digi Sport.
