Mircea Lucescu: "It was a game of two halves, I was pleased with the first, I wasn't with the second"
The first comments of the Manager after the game with CSKA.
That's just what I said in the locker room, I was pleased with the first half, we were active. I liked it, unlike the second. In the second half we played carelessly, we gave the ball away, allowing them to counterattack and it was very dangerous. We should have played on the wing, but we were focused on the middle where CSKA were packed in the middle. They intercepted the ball and counterattacked. We had to go back and end up somewhere we should not even been. In the first half we had every advantage, we created 3 or 4 good chances where we could have scored, but in the second half, the game was more equal. And it seems to me, the Ref in the first half, made ??the mistake of not giving out a second yellow card, and then it would be changed things. But in any case that did not affect the final outcome.
Removing Neto and moving Criscito to the centre, was this a reaction to Ionov coming on?
We moved Criscito to the middle, so we could quickly go from defence to attack, so we would be active down both flanks. Another option was difficult to find.
