Adrian Mititelou: “If necessary, they would also remove our third player”

The patron of “Krajova 1948” criticized the game of the referee Istvan Kovač and said that ChFJ did not deserve to win.

“What can I say? I don’t know why they came up with this regulation, CFR should have gone straight there. We are fighting to come again, let them be laughed at?! Lord, the play-out teams have nothing to do in the European cups and that’s it! Let it be formal barrier… I understand that the CFR was supposed to be qualified, but not by much.

It was a general arrangement for the FRF to accept the CFR. If necessary, a third player was sent off. The player who was most often fouled on the field, Bauza, was hunted down and removed.

In the match against CSU, Kovac scored two penalties… how did he react now to the stage where we should have had a penalty?! You could see the entire manner, on the part of the delegation, they tried to make the hosts lose this match.

We deserved to go to Europe. We don’t have permission to go there yet. I see that the adjustment depends on the climate, the shooting angle. Kovacs is best for certain teams. Kovacs lives in Cluj, some things are hard to prove, but they are known.

It’s getting worse, I’m so angry! I don’t know how many times they were mocked at this championship. If we had stayed at 11, I don’t think CFR Cluj would have beaten us. The manner of the arbitration was pro-CFR from the beginning. I’d say 90% of the people who watched the game saw it.

There are things that cannot be said, they cannot be said. Your name is Burleanu, and he is executing you! I’m making cabbage for you in disciplinary proceedings. The cases lead to organized crime, but nothing can be done. It was hoped that the CFR would move on.

I’m telling the truth, I’m hot, but what can they do to me? I was in prison, I was expelled.

I would start a DNA case, but I don’t have enough evidence. If I go DNA with this Bodescu, he can get away with screaming. I had other evidence, but when I left, the prosecutor ran away. Maybe I will be sued” – Adrian Mititelou on Prima Sport.

CFR Cluj – U Craiova 1948 1-0, Conference League draw

After the first half on counterattacks, but without many scoring opportunities, the second half brought unexpected help to Dan Petrescu’s wards.

In the 68th minute, Juan Bauza saw a second yellow card very easily, and referee Istvan Kovac sent him to the dressing room.

With a numerical advantage, the Transylvanians attacked, but could not decide the match in regular time.

The first extra half brought a goal scored in the 97th minute by Denys Kollinger with a header from Petrila’s cross, but it ended with another expulsion in the Olten camp. Huygebert saw a straight red for a tackle on Birlighea’s ankle.

In the second half of overtime, there were also incidents, the players of “Kraiova 1948” gathered at the edge of the field with the intention of stopping the match, but after discussions, the game resumed.

CFR Cluj is recovering from a less successful season and will represent Romania in the Conference League preliminary matches along with FCSB and Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe, while Farul Constanta will play in the Champions League preliminary matches.
