FCSB took a 69-minute lead against West Ham in London, but the English side turned the score around to win 3-1. In these conditions, Nicolae Dike spoke after the game about the element that determined the difference between a positive result and a failure at the Olympic Stadium in the capital of Great Britain.

FCSB played very well in the first half of the match in London, opening the scoring against West Ham (through Cordea in the 34th minute), but David Moyes’ team won thanks to goals from Bowen (’69, penalty), Emerson (’75) and Antonio ( ’90).

Nicolae Dike: The penalty gifted to West Ham cost us

“I gave a gift, that penalty, I played seventy minutes, then I scored the second goal. We no longer need to give these gifts.

We managed to get to the level of a team from England with a very big budget in 70 minutes, and that is extremely important. I’m happy, but we have to understand that we have to play 90 minutes, 95 minutes.

This happens both in the championship and in European cups. We must learn this. We have to be ready to play every three days like everyone else.” – Nicholas DickPro Arena reports.

Andriy Cordea, scorer of FCSB in the match against West Ham, believes that the English should not have given a penalty

Andrej Cordea claims that he and his colleagues believe the penalty awarded to West Ham was a referee error.

“I played good football. Probably, if the penalty had not been awarded, we would not have lost today. I spoke to my colleagues in the dressing room and we don’t think it was a penalty.

There were many Romanians in the stands, and when I scored, it was a very beautiful, extraordinary sensation.

Now it’s Anderlecht’s turn, we play at home and hope to fill the stadium. We must win” – Andriy Kordeyaaccording to Pro Arena.
