Nicolae Dick’s explanation after the match “Silkeborg” against “FCSB” 5-0
The technician also talked about the Bucharest side’s other embarrassing defeats in recent seasons (against Lazio and Sporting), but noted that the cost difference was much greater in those games.
“I played a very bad game, started the game very bad. In the 7th minute, the score was 2:0, due to huge mistakes. I didn’t look good tonight. It is clear that when the team plays badly, the coach is to blame. You have to understand, although they played very young players, I expected more from them.
They had the opportunity to play in Europe. We prepared for the match in the same way as we did against West Ham and Anderlecht, we knew we were going to face a good team. Unfortunately, we gave Silkeborg too many chances and it cost us.
Towards the end of the game, I thought maybe I shouldn’t have left everyone at home, but I took a chance. After we qualified, we said we wanted to go up in the Championship. We deserve criticism. When we win, we are praised.
Now it’s normal to be criticized, especially me. We lost to Lazio 5-1, to Sporting 5-1, but they were very big teams. I played a very bad game today. We have a tough game in Ploiesti, then the answer with Silkeborg.
I don’t really sleep, I think and analyze a lot. This is the life of a coach, when I started this job I knew what was in store for me. Ever since I came to Steaua (not FCSB), I’ve had a hard time.
We’re in last place after this game, but we still have three games to play. We will see how many points we score after the next games. I have to encourage them, they are young, some are playing in Europe for the first time. We can’t destroy the players, I’m the kind of coach who encourages the players” – Nicholas Dickquoted by Sport.ro.
Silkeborg’s goals were scored by Klinge (‘3), Kusk (‘8), Helenius (’35, penalty), Thordarson (’58) and Adamsen (’71).
In another Group B match, West Ham beat Anderlecht 1-0 (Scamacca ’79).
