Rapid got off to a great start in the play-offs, but deflated quickly. On Monday, the formation aiming to win the title this season reached four defeats in four stages of the play-offs! This last result, 0-1 with Sepsi at home, minimizes the chances of qualification in the upcoming European cup season. It was the goal on which Cristiano Bergodi's future depended on the Bucharest bench.

So it is understandable why the Italian has “mad” at the conference after the failure with Sepsi and, simply, he was unrecognizable, he has the image of a gentleman, since he has been working in Romanian football. It must be stated, however, that this nervous breakdown of Bergodi started with a totally inappropriate question asked by a journalist. “What world do you live in?“, was heard in the hall, before Bergodi exploded.
A shocking tirade ensued, which can be seen below, and is reminiscent of the explosive conference another Italian coach, Giovanni Trapattoni, gave when he was going through a crisis with Bayern Munich.
