Ioan Andone, one of the most important names in Dinamo's history, analyzed in a dialogue with the Sports Gazette the performance that the white-red team had in the derby with Rapid (0-1).
The former coach believes that the equal would have been a fair result, but that Marius Șumudică won the tactical duel with the Zeljko Kopic counterpart, explaining what Dinamo's Croatian coach should have done.
What Ioan Andone noted in Rapid – Dinamo
“I am sorry about Dinamo. I think he did not choose the winning strategy. I do not think he imagined that Presing would do up and that he would attack so much. He managed the match well, organized the team on the defensive phase and knew how to get on the counterattack.
Dinamo needed points, even if he could not play in European cups. Overall, I would say that the equal would have been fair, but everyone chooses the strategy they consider and tries to capture.
Dinamo had possession, passed more, but in the last 30 meters he had problems. He did not diversify the attacks, he did not have big opportunities.
Dinamo could more, but to do this he had to play with two attackers, play a 4-4-2 to put pressure on the central defenders from Rapid, Pașcanu and Ciobotariu. Dinamo had to come up with something new, to change if he wanted to endanger. Yes, there were many absences, but it is the end of the season and it is normal to have suspensions and injuries.
It doesn't look good that Dinamo has no victory in the play-off, but he also had heavy matches. He could get more with FCSB, but that's it. Dinamo now has to think about next season, prepare the team. I'm glad it will continue Kopic next season. He is a very good coach, ”said Ioan Andone for the Sports Gazette.
Cristian Mihai is a very good transfer. He is an interesting player, he will incorporate very well. I see him holder. And Musi would be a very good transfer if it comes.
