Mutu's letdown


'Bitterness and disappointment: Parma can't lose such a game. My goal? It was useless to the final result, I've already forgotten it…', Adrian Mutu says after the Emilian derby against Modena.

MODENA- Adrian Mutu has never been so angry. The joy for his goal and his good performance (with no pains in his left knee), faded away soon when Parma were defeated by Modena. 'At present I'm really disappointed and embittered. A side like Parma can't do well only in the first half and then drop at the restart. We must get our own back in the next games'.
Was it more a psychological or a fitness drop?
'We must analyse it better together. What is certain is that it should never happen'.
You scored your second goal of the season in the league…
'A useless goal. I've already forgotten it…'.
What about your knee?
'Fortunately I felt no pains, but in the second half I suffered from the lack of my usual weekly training, although I didn't join Romania on Wednesday and stayed at Parma'.
A draw would have been the fair result. Do you agree?
'We deserved more but Modena were more concrete, though they took the only two goalscoring chances they had. However, they registered twice and in the end it's what most counts'.
