Sepsi also lost a match with Cluj University

Sepsi suffered 5 defeats in a row in the Romanian Super League, and the situation with the team from Covas is quite serious.

The group from Sfantu Gheorghe has reached 11th place in the championship and is losing ground in Lia for a place in the playoffs.

Despite starting the season very well and achieving good results, Liviu Ciobotariu’s side are without a win in 5 SuperLiga matches, after losing 1-0 at Cluj University.

At the end of the Cluj Arena clash, technician Sepsi spoke about the bad spell the team is going through, but also stressed that he will use the international break to rehabilitate the Covas side.

“As the game was balanced, Cluj also didn’t have many scoring opportunities. As property, they remained better than us. We are here to get a positive result. We would have had a chance if we had scored at 0-0, but when things don’t go your way, you have no chances, no luck…

A delicate, difficult situation. Those who love this team are angry, disappointed, we are aware, we are trying to get out of this situation and I am very confident that we will get out.

We still need to restore unavailable players. This break came very well. We have 12 days to prepare for the match in Iasi. The points are coming, and we are moving away from our goal – the playoffs. We will have to recover.

There is no such thing, it is true that the players are disappointed, angry, they no longer have morale, they no longer have confidence, but it is normal when you lose five games in a row. It is not a sensational atmosphere, but the group is united, there are no problems. When there are no results, the world gets angry, and the players, and us, and the management.

At the beginning of the championship, I had the whole team at my disposal, and everything was fine. In the last period, at least after the game in Craiova, then it became unbalanced, those who played less had to play and it was much more difficult for me, but that does not mean that they are not good players.

I had three or four kids on the bench today, but that’s no excuse, we’re here, I’m in charge and I’ve got to right the ship.” Liviu Chobotariu said, Digi Sport reports.
