Dan Petrescu, the last conclusions at the end of the season
“I want to congratulate my team. He made an extraordinary match. I am dissatisfied only by the first minute, when I took an empty. Otherwise, they played excellent. I am sorry that the referee broke the match and gave a red to such a match, when the boy wanted to give empty and may be wrong. And in 10 against 11 I played very well.
We deserved Victoria hundreds percent, but this is football sometimes. At the break, I told them that, apart from the first phase, they played excellent. I would have wanted a victory, and so on.
Even if I was losing, I had nothing to reproach them. (no – about the transfers he wants in the summer at CFR) I do not know, it remains to be seen. (no what CFR aims in Europe) to arrive as far as possible, “said Dan Petrescu, after the match, at Flash-Interviu, at the” Digi Sport “microphone.
I think the achievement of the goal gave us a state of relaxation, that's what it has been. We tried to return, that red card came, it is good that it was over. It's the club where I grew up, where I won trophies, where I feel best.
I am glad that I will continue for another year, I want to leave myself with winning the championship. There were no discussions, my thought was to stay here, the leaders assured me that I would continue as much as I want.
– Ciprian Deac, CFR Cluj player
