Quick – U Cluj 0-2. Alexandru Chipciu, the left defender from the Transylvanian team, was satisfied with the game provided in Giulești and acknowledged that he still regrets what happened last week, when U lost with Dinamo, score 2-4.
Chipciu also spoke about the atmosphere in Giulești, which he said “makes me cry before the match”. Then he praised the performance of his team this season, given the difference in budget compared to the rest of the teams. U Cluj offered the lowest salaries in 2024, compared to the other 5 play-off teams.
“Well, how stupid we could be with Dinamo!” It was Chipciu's foamy reaction with journalists, at the mix, when he saw the ranking.
VIDEO. Alex Chipciu: “With such a game, we would have been fighting for the title. I come to cry now for the match with Dinamo!”
“The atmosphere is beautiful when you win, I would be more tied to how I won. It is important to play in your terms. I have won in our terms.
This is football, I have no idea at the moment, but it is beautiful on Giulești, you come to cry before the match, it motivates you. We lack important players, but when you do not have Bic or Nistor, it is difficult to replace them, there are no players in Romania at their level.
I was really thinking when I was in the shower. When you lose matches, you realize what you did in this championship. I was in the first place. “God, it can't be that!”. Today we returned to what we played. With this game, we would have been beaten. I come to cry now for the match with Dinamo, how bad I could play.
I saw the budgets, Rapid, CFR, Craiova and FCSB have double, it is difficult to compensate. We and Dinamo are the championship performers.
Even though Rapid was one of the teams I was weird, I'm uploading, it's nice of these supporters, I give you the state. I'm sorry we have a track on Cluj Arena, otherwise it would have been like Giulești.
We want to make the people from Craiova feel that they are in Cluj Arena. This was my message for the boys after this match, “said Alexandru Chipciu, at the first sport 1.
I talk to Ionuț Voicu from Rapid, even if we are rivals. I have nothing with Șumudică, it was then something he said about Boc, Party and I know. With him I can argue and reconcile 400 times.
