Dan Petrescu: "We disserved more!"

Dan Petrescu lauded his players, but he told them to be more concentrated when they shoot in the future

The point obtained last night didn’t satisfied fully Dan Petrescu: "We disserved more, I regret that we have lost two pints. We played very good, in the first half Stuttgart didn’t have any occasion. We tried to surprise the germens with cornerwise passes, with 3 stoppers, if we had been more inspired we would have managed to defeat them. Varga was alone with the goalkeeper and he rushed, Apostol and Rusescu didn’t know to give the last pass, Brandan he didn’t profit of the static phases".

The hero of the evening, Dacian Varga, said: "We could have taken all he points if we were more careful. Mister criticized me, I am conscientious that I made a mistake, I should have been more careful; I could have scored another goal. I hope to have my revenge in the next match. We nothing to lose at Rangers, we are going there to play our chance".
