Denis Ciobotariu, the former Dinamo player and current player at Rapid, commented the game between “dogs” and Giulesti from the National Arena.
The Rapid defender spoke about his team's performance and criticized his team's offensive contribution.

Denis Ciobotariu after Dinamo – Rapid 0-0: “We have to make good decisions, but what to say, I hope to regulate”
“Indeed, I cannot say that it is a good result, but no negative. It was much worse if we were losing. We were clinging to our chance. As long as we have a mathematical chance for Europe, we will play as well as we can.
It had no connection with pressure (no game with Dinamo). This is our style. Dinamo has possession at most matches, that's why they were seen that they were over us.
I think I had important situations that if I was fruitful it was like in the match with Craiova: nobody said anything, I was winning and that was. Too little for a team who wants to play in Europe. There are certain phases when we get rid of two against two or three against two and judge the phases bad.
I think if we make the better decisions in front, the gateway raises and the kicks automatically grow. We need to make good decisions, but what to say, I hope to regulate.
We want victory in the last stages, we hope someone is confused and maybe we have a little advantage that CFR plays the cup match. We hope for our chance, as long as it is mathematics, including when we played with Craiova, no one gave us any chance.
We have nothing to reproach the supporters, they are wonderful, we can only applaud them. They want to see attitude, aggression, including if our game does not come out. At least we can give them if we fail to get a spectacular game, ”said Marius Șumudică at the flash-intervium at the Digi Sport Special show.
We tried to win. We also had new situations, but very few. I was good from a defensive point of view, from an offensive point of view I showed very little. If we looked like at the end of the game we were able to mark.
A shot on the gate, if you have it, but you don't give it empty … you can win a match and so, but you have to make that situation. A match awaits us at home with CFR, we do not know how they will come, because they have the final of the Cup on Wednesday. We need to win. In all the matches at home, the supporters came and encouraged the team.
