Costel Orac, 66, the former great striker of Dinamocharacterized the performance of the “dogs” in the first two stages, in which Kopic's band remained outstanding: only two points accumulated in two matches considered to be approachable. Triple champion in “Stefan cel Mare”, Orac finds mitigating circumstances for the low impact of new acquisitions.
Dinamo-FC Botosani 0-0, the second consecutive failure of the red-white, after the draw from Miercurea Ciuc, 2-2, put on thoughts the dynamo, who were waiting for a much more convincing season start from the team that took the play-off last year.
In an interview with Gazeta on Tuesday morning, 12 hours after the equal on the “Arc de Triomphe”, The dynamovist legend Costel Orac radiographed the pluses and minuses observed at Dinamo in the first two appearances in this championship.
Costel Orac defends the transfers from Dinamo: “It takes time”
“I honestly say, it seems normal to me what is now in Dinamo. I would also like to be six points instead of two, but the team lost five holders, basic players, valuable players. It is true that substitutes have come, but everyone is of the same opinion: no matter how valuable you are, you need a period of accommodation.
Last night, my opinion is that Dinamo controlled the game, even though he failed to score. After all, it is good that we did not receive a goal, because at Csikszereda two goals were received very quickly, and then it was difficult to return. It is their merit that they managed to equalize there, it is not easy to come back after you are driven 2-0 away.
Supporters are waiting for victories, waiting for a certain yield from these players who came and were labeled as valuable players, it is normal to be so. The reality is quite different: it takes time … I do not mean a few months, but to a few games for relationships to become more homogeneous.
We do not have to neglect the fact that the striker, Karamoko, is a new player. If it was Perica, it was completely and everything else, because the occasions were. If I had someone in front to materialize them, we would have discussed otherwise, ”said Costel Orac, exclusively for gsp.ro.

About Alex Pop: “If it has not been imposed until now, it is hard for me to believe that it will succeed from here.”
Asked about Alex Pop's modest performances, a footballer taken in the fan colimator, Costel Orac concluded:
“It is difficult to impose you … However, let's not forget that he came from Unirea Dej … Sure, he also passed the steel, but Steel was also a team that did not issue high claims.
Here, things are different. Already has some age and, If you were not able to impose itself until today, it is hard for me to believe that it will succeed from here. I do not know him, I do not know what kind of character he has, I do not know how well he is preparing. “
