VIDEO. Dan Petrescu, before CFR Cluj – FCSB: “It was even said it was a disaster with Pafos. I mean, to know everyone”
“What this season was achieved is more than when I took the championship. I was by far the most spectacular team, I scored 86 goals (no – 72 goals scored CFR Cluj in Liga 1, 99 in all competitions).
The most beautiful football played CFR Cluj, that's clear. When I came, in May last year, it was a team, now there is another team. To change 11 holders holders and finish on 2 and win the cup, it means it is worth congratulations to the players. It was a hard season.
It was even said it was a disaster with Pafos. I mean, to know everyone. It cannot be a disaster, when that team has a budget of 50 million euros and when he won the championship in Cyprus.
In the UEFA coefficient, Cyprus is on the 10th place, and Romania on 25. The Cyprus championship is twice as good. I had a player who is with them now (the most likely no one refers to the Senegalese Moustapha Name, which was borrowed at CFR). If I tell you the salary, you are scared!
I did an extraordinary job, the boys especially. Not only them, but everyone in the club. It was hard to win both trophies. FCSB had a very powerful lot, won the championship on merit. We had ups and downs. If I didn't lose with them, maybe it was a match with the title on the table tomorrow. I want to congratulate everyone in the club, because the conditions were not like before, “said Dan Petrescu.
I wish to win every match. And players should think the same. I expect to see Olaru in the field, on the shot, Popescu, Lixandru, Băluță. If he rests the beam, it does not mean that they have no team.

Dan Petrescu: “Do not enter to play a holiday match, that they will be sorry!”
At the conference, Petrescu threatened his players before the match with FCSB.
“The most important thing is to show seriousness. Not to play a holiday match, that they will be sorry, and the reactions after the match will not be too beautiful.
If I came to the conference I will be on the bench. I was balanced, we must admit, even if we declared others, that they deserved if they won, ”Petrescu said.
