Sergey Rebrov: "Criticism needs to exist. Even if we play in the finals of the Europa League."

Rebrov was angry with Apus as his team Ferenvarosi TC lost to Kisvarda.

During the conversation, he stated his opinion about the unreasonable criticism of fans and journalists that he and his team often encounter.

The full translation of his speech:

I have to admit that I am very angry now. All the negative reactions of the fans can be understood. I'll even justify the questions from the journalists. But I will not understand why, for example, journalists take a player who is not yet on the team, write his name, and immediately evaluate him negatively. As if he came and didn't show anything, although he wasn't even there! This is the highest level of lack of professionalism!

I don't even want to talk about the fans who immediately criticize everyone and everything. To those who write that some players have already eaten their wages. I'm just wondering what could possibly happen to our football if this kind of approach doesn't stop?

I would like to emphasize that after the defeat, I told the players in the dressing room that we are responsible for this failure. But there is no need to be ashamed of this defeat. We need to make a conclusion and draw the right lessons from this situation.

As for criticism, it should always be. Even when we reach the final of the European Championship. But criticism should be constructive! Because when you hear destructive criticism, it affects the psychology and the result.

We ask for support from our fans. It is clear that everyone wants to see the team win. But we ask you to believe in us, believe in our team and wait for the result. As for the players, I can say with confidence that they will do everything to achieve significant results. This is our goal. We will not speak much, we will act. And in the end, our results will speak for us.
