Rapid lost to Sepsi in the playoffs

Giulesti’s side failed to get their first success in this play-off at Sfantu Gheorghe and Adrian Mutu was very disappointed at the end of the game.

The coach of the 5th place team in the playoffs did not take care of his players and also talked about the huge error of Horatio Moldovan, after which the game was unlocked.

“I would like to start by congratulating the opposing team, they were better. Not much to say in the heat, I played a weak match. Probably the weakest game since I’ve been on the bench. There are many reasons, but we have to move on, because we have difficult matches ahead of us.

The one thing we have to take away from this game is that if we play like this in the playoffs, what happened tonight is going to happen.

It’s normal to be nervous when things don’t go your way. In addition to poor performance, when failure occurs, the frustration is even greater. What is certain is that they outplayed us in every department and deserved to win.

If we made it to the playoffs, then we should play and play at the level of Rapid, and not see that we have reached the goal and what will be, will be. We had a chance to go up to fourth place and every time we had an opportunity we missed it.

Moldo’s miss changed the game. We were leading the game up until that point, but that doesn’t mean anything. In the first half we needed to have more scoring phases and in the second half we needed to be more specific.

Attitudinal problems. When you can climb to the fourth place and do not find in yourself this desire to take an important step… Not finding it is a problem. Motivation must be internal. Football, when treated wrongly, does not forgive. I was also unlucky, this is the third penalty in a row.

Rapid is a team with a lot of fans and some solutions need to be found so that everyone can come to the game and not the stands remain empty.

Any defeat raises questions for you, but I cannot say now, in the heat of the moment, what decisions I will make. We are analyzing and we need to rally the ranks. We cannot play weaker. I touched the bottom of the bag. If we are smart guys, we will learn and grow. If not, maybe that’s our value.” – reported by Adi Mutu, reports Digi Sport.
