The coach of the University of Craiova team, Mirel Rădoi, said on Friday, in a press conference, that the match with FCSB, in the 4th stage of the football superligion play-off, is not a final in the fight to win the champion title, according to Agerpres.
“I think it will be a match awaited by both sides, a very disputed match, as was the one in the regular season. I think this time the public will be clear on our side. I don't think for this match we need an extra motivation, because we play at home, play in front of our supporters and players in such matches. At one point, the spaces we need will appear in such a match. We are not talking about the title, the second, the third position.
The technician believes that his team has the first chance to win the match with FCSB, considering that he is playing on his own ground.
“If we play at home, it is clear that statistically we have not lost any point since we came. This means that we are leaving with the first chance. How capable we are of all these things vis-à-vis motivation, to attract them on our side, the warmth of the public, the intensity of the party, but also on the other side will come with their international experience, and they have to be the value. It will take us.
Mirel Rădoi believes that his team has to attack with the goalkeeper at certain times of the match with FCSB and that from his point of view the opponent has a higher pressure.
“If I look at the last game played at home with FCSB, I think we returned to 10 people and we could win the game with that wonderful audience. So I don't think the players do not cope with the pressure at home matches. We come after a difficult week in Cluj and we have reason to show that it was a very busy and bad period for us.
The Football Team University Craiova will meet the FCSB band, on the “Ion Oblemenco” stadium, on Sunday, from 9:00 pm, in a match in the 4th stage.
