Chiriches interview in the romanian media ,he admit that is not in form in the present (DigiSport)
“Is not a problem that i played few games until now. I’m not ready on fit 100%. I came after a worst injury,and I did not played well.I know that.I will work hard to get over this moment.
I know me very well ,and i know that i will return in form and with success soon.”
About being criticized by Spurs fans:
“I know what they think when I play bad,but when i will play a good match for me,all bad things will be forgotten”
Very bad match from Vlad, something is wrong there.
But if it is to take the "coming back from injury - not 100% fit yet" statement for granted, something doesn't add up IMO.
For me he had a constant decreasing level of play all the way from the Limassol game to his awful display in the game vs Besiktas. Normally his game would improve in time but this isn't happening so the question is why?
I don't have the answer but I can think of some:
- maybe he is forced to play so his injury is worsening
- maybe Pochettino is trying to make him play in a manner that doesn't suit him/takes time to learn
- both of the above
