FC Argeș and Rapid offered a dramatic match in Mioveni, ending with a score of 2-2. Rapid had a two-goal advantage, but the hosts came back spectacularly and were very close to victory.
Argeşeni also scored for 3-2, but the success was cancelled, and in overtime they missed a penalty that could have secured them all three points at the end of the evening.
“Missing pays off. We lacked discipline!”
After the final whistle, Costel Gâlcă had an extremely critical speech. The speed coach spoke about the team’s problems, the lack of discipline and the situation in the club, also announcing that he will soon leave the dressing room of the team from Giulesti.
“We had a very good first half, they basically didn’t get to our goal. We also had 2-0 situations, but we didn’t take advantage. In the second half they made changes, they came with intensity, as I actually expected, and they came with crosses from the sides.
We sat well, but with only one striker they scored the first goal. In the second we had a chance, we could have lost, but from my point of view it was not a penalty. We had the chance to make it 3-2, we didn’t make it, and misses pay off.
We lacked goals, discipline and not only on the pitch but also off it. There are more things than discipline, but I told you, to fight there, you need more work and to be more professional. They wanted in all the matches, but that’s all we could give. We also have injuries and that’s all we can offer now!“the technician began his speech.
“My opinion didn’t really count in the club!”
Costel Gâlcă suggested that he did not have total freedom in making decisions at the club. The last game in which he will be on the technical bench of Rapid will be the game against the University of Craiova, scheduled for May 23, from 18:00, in Giulesti.
“They told me that I didn’t know how to manage situations. But situations are not managed. As a professional club, you have to do them from the beginning and adjust them along the way. A lot had to be done, from injuries to everything. I expected more from everyone, let’s make decisions. I knew the weaknesses, but I didn’t make decisions.
It was good while I was high, but after that I didn’t make decisions. I had no decision-making power, so basically my opinion didn’t really matter and it was seen over time. I have to say I conveyed, I said my opinion, but if they didn’t take it into account, then we do something else.
“It will be my last match with Craiova!”
I wanted to change some things and I couldn’t. I’ve been in football for a long time and I know that if you want to compete in the championship, you have to be more demanding with the players, because that’s how the players are, if you open a gate for them, they run away.
They are not spoiled, but I told you, the players are less guilty. It will definitely be my last match with Craiova. I finish the contract and after that I leave!”admitted Gâlcă, at the press conference.
