The coach of the CFR Cluj team, Dan Petrescu, said that if there was a VAR system in the Conference League, then the champions of Romania would have defeated the “Sivasspor” team (the Turks won 1:0 on the Transylvania field).

Dan Petrescu is nervous after the match with “Sivasspor”: If there was VAR, we would have won

“The opponent had 3 shots, 7 corners. If the referee took the ball out of our goal, what are we to blame? A valuable opponent, but ours, in my opinion, played a good match. We didn’t deserve to be equal today, we deserved to win.

This is football. In football, the team that plays the best does not always win. I’ve also won matches many times when I didn’t deserve it. And we go forward. But the FC Cluj team should have won this match.

Towards the end of the match, when we took risks, they also had two chances. Until then, there was only one team on the field. It was all about the little things for them tonight. We scored a goal and they took it out of our goal. There were three penalties. Today we would have won this match with VAR” – Dan Petrescuquoted by News.ro.

Dan Petrescu is not resigning, even if the fans no longer want him to be at CFR Cluj

“I have no reason to resign. I have been in this club for so many years, I work, I have a contract, I want to respect it. If I believe that I am no longer good, that I am not working well, then… If the team did not play, would not achieve the goal, maybe I would think. But in this case, I don’t think so. There are some voices trying… I don’t understand why. With me as a coach, the team always had good results. No one came to talk to me. But I don’t see the reason” – Dan Petrescu.
