I would like to have the whole team, but there are rules, and we have to accept them and find solutions with the players we have in the lot. We need points, we need to win matches. A hard match awaits us, we have to be more aggressive. The boys showed that they understood that we had to push our limits.

They have 30 players, it doesn't matter who plays at them. That's what I am in the first place. They had many matches in Europe, but they always had changes. Olaru at the beginning of the championship was the best player from them, and without him they did extraordinary things. It is clear that they have a strong lot and no matter who will play, they will be a good team. It does not matter if he does not play the bump, Olaru, they have a very strong lot.
