Mihai Rotaru, after drawing lots for the Conference League play-off

“I do not know who they are, I have not heard of them, I do not know if he was drawn, nor know who he plays, to defeat and get to play with us, you did not understand, I am not interested, if I hear someone in the club talking about another opponent, otherwise, it is forbidden to talk about the club.

Now we are talking only about Trnava and after Hermannstadt, nothing else, “said Mihai Rotaru, on Monday afternoon, on the show” Liga Digisport “, from Digi Sport.

“We are satisfied with many good moments in the game, the show created, by the 11 goals scored in 4 stages, to which are added the 5 with Sarajevo, for this it is football, for the show, for emotion, for roaring, all these bring the world to the stadium, but especially for magic.

Given the recent experience, it is normal that I had emotions, I had a vu, I saw Arad, in football there are times when you had to suffer, but I showed that I was worth the victory and it ended well, and in Craiova 3-0 it is the most dangerous score.

The team is now much more balanced, she was more spectacular with Mitriță, you saw what magic does in China, she is a phenomenal player, I lost magic, but I gained in balance. Mitriță has a contract with Craiova, was born in Craiova, arrived in big football in Craiova, and his football confirmation also came here.

I really do not know exactly how the procedure was when it first came to Craiova, I didn't even know what it looked like (no about the new Nsimba attacker), Feluguiiras was in charge, we have an extremely complete system, he stays all day with Mirel and from there I make the decisions, on Feluguiiras I brought as a football manager, a notion that does not exist, in Romania, he does not exist. The Academy, I was looking for someone and I couldn't find, then I said let's grow one, Mario has strengths, he was an agent, he is a very smart guy, licensed in psychology, “Rotaru said on Monday afternoon.

Everyone knows what to expect, we have no hidden bonuses, they are all in the contract, some differ depending on the player, depending on what each has negotiated.

Yes, 1-2 players will probably come, I invested around 4 million euros, the big win was seen last night, when I proved that we have a lot, not a reserve bank, but a lot, I looked very good, I suffered, but this is the big achievement and it saw last night, when I won on the field of the vice-champion with 9 players.

If we live with this mirage, it's like the casino. We don't think about selling players. We want Craiova University to grow
