The more “old” players, 36-37 years old, with experience, have made an extraordinary effort.
I reactivated a chip, which before I came here he had not played at CFR. He is a player in which I thought very, very much. He was put on the transfer list when I came here. Those in the leadership were dissatisfied, the expectations were different, he had to be the first violin, and he did not adapt, he was not found. I came and said, “No one leaves!”
I took over the team, which was antepenultimate, I had it and saw its seriousness. At one point you really don't play the holder. The great satisfaction is when you see that a player returns to his shape, his value, that he reaches the national team. Giving this responsibility, see how it is involved, how this team considers it, a kind of trainer on the ground.
For me, as a coach, it is a satisfaction to see this player, who was out of the circuit at one point, returning to very good evolutions … to see him with a very good mood, to see him suffering, when the team loses fists, he is nervous, he cares! It's very involved! Only with these players, with such mentality, you manage to achieve your goals ”, said Sabău, in dialogue with journalists gsp.ro.
