Sepsi’s management is passionate about István Kovács

The match between Sepsi and Universitatea Craiova was not without controversial moments, and the Covasnians believe that they were seriously affected by the decisions of Istvan Kovac.

If coach Sepsi was more reserved about Istvan Kovac’s decisions, Attila Hadnagi, Kovasnen’s sporting director, was extremely harsh about Kareja’s centre-back.

“Honestly, in the second half we were also weak, but I can say that the refereeing was uncomfortable. Not weak, shame!

Silvy’s red card in the first half, then there was a foul on our base before their first goal. In the second half, in the phase with Markovych, he didn’t even look, he gave a direct free kick, he didn’t see that Markovych was faking. He should have given “yellow”, but it did not.

Mr. Kovacs was completely outmatched after this match! I don’t know who sees Mr. Kovac in Europe, but all the managers, in all the matches he officiates, speak badly about him. Does that mean we are stupid? Who considers him a good referee? To be honest, I don’t know. He strikes me as a weak referee who does not deserve to referee in Ligue 1.

This is too arrogant, believe me! I don’t know why, I don’t know what his arrogance is, everyone says he’s arrogant, only Mr. Vassaras and others don’t see it.

The man thinks he is the best referee, but today’s match showed it… Many, many mistakes, he pissed everyone off. And it was a good match, but one where he pissed everyone off.

There, in the first half, if he gives Silva a second yellow card, it’s a different game. But Mr. Kovacs got scared and blew the whistle for the first half.

What do we gain if he is not allowed in the delegations? We lost three very big points in the fight for the playoffs. I am ashamed of it. Believe me, it was an uncomfortable refereeing!” – he said, according to GSP.
