Sarajevo follows, they have the same system as us, it suits us. The team that will be attentive to the completion will win the match. In two parties I had over 20 occasions and scored 6 goals. We cannot make a daily completion. I don't have a magic wand either, and I would like to win all the parties, but unfortunately we can't. I think the first and most important test for this new team is double with Sarajevo
– Mirel Rădoi, Craiova coach
