Quick – CFR Cluj 1-1. Dan Petrescu, the coach of the Transylvanians, analyzed the draw from Giulești. Thanks to the first half, he was disturbed that his students were empty in the 47th minute, when Koljic equalized.
Dan Petrescu had words of praise for Postolachi and Louis Munteanu, but also for Alexandru Dobre, extreme from Rapid. He then said another dissatisfaction. Þ
Specifically, it does not suit that the team will go by bus to Cluj, because there is not enough time to analyze Lugano, Thursday's opponent from the preliminary round of Europa League.
Dan Petrescu, statements after Rapid – CFR Cluj 1-1: “I spoke for nothing at the break”
“As I played in the first half, I was pleased. I entered the match excellent, with Pressing. I had big opportunities. At the break I talked for nothing. I told them that if we managed to keep the result, they will panic and we will have spaces. I wanted to put a new team compared to the last match, but I could not.
We see that we play at 3 days. It's hard to keep the rhythm in the first half. I took a movement point after a match of Europe, with a play-off and Top 3 team.
And the goalkeeper may have to reject otherwise. Dobre is in an excellent form, he wants to dribble, mark, eat grass. Postolachi and Sfaiț had many chances on the counterattack. If Andres was more careful, he could mark. I think Postolachi was injured. He made a very good match, ”said Petrescu, at the first sport 1.
Petrescu: “I do not like it, I have two days to analyze the people from Lugano”
“There is a synthetic match and I had only heavy matches on the synthetic. I prefer to play the slag. I would not have liked if I was a player to play on the synthetic. Lugano has no official match, which is good for us. Abeid and Postolachi got injured, I do not think I can come to Switzerland.
It will be hard to make a team. I don't think if Munteanu leaves. I do not oppose it, it depends on him and the club. I understand everyone. He's an excellent boy. I know him even better after a year, I am very happy about his attitude.
Tomorrow morning I have to workout, then we go by car. I don't like it, I have two days to analyze them. I have to watch matches last year and friendly, I know a little about them. I'll ask my seconds today. They have an American patron, they invested a lot, but we have our chance, ”said Petrescu.
