Cristiano Bergodi hopes Rapid will wake up as captain Sepunaru takes blame for defeat

After 3:1 in Iasi, “Rapid” interrupted a series of five victories in a row and gave up the second step of the rating in favor of “CFR Cluj”.

Despite the disappointment of the result, coach Cristiano Bergodi said defeat is not the end of the country and that his players must keep their heads high.

“Unfortunately, this is a lost match. We had some very good opportunities to add to the deficit, but that was it. We were not very good in the first half.

They changed the system, I thought we were doing better, we had a good situation at 0:0. Was that all we could do? This cold shower that puts our feet on the ground must have been too much praise.

I changed something, but today is so and so. Iasi believed after the equalizer, but we lost our balance. I haven’t done anything yet.

Whether the players understood something, we will see on Wednesday with UTA. Heads up, it’s a football match, we can’t stay here. move This is. After five victories, there was also a defeat, we must move forward, because this is not the end of the country.” – told Cristiano Bergodifor DigiSport.

The main culprit of the first goal of the Yass players, captain Christian Sepunaru, apologized at the end of the match.

“I apologize, I lost this match, not the team. The ball arrived in the evening, I made a blunder and put them in the game. That’s it, it’s happening, let’s move on.

My mistake made the difference. If it wasn’t for that mistake, I wouldn’t have had a problem, they didn’t have a chance until then. We lost one and a half points and we will recover” – claimed SepunaruDigiSport reports.
