Constantin Gâlcă (53 years old), the coach of the Rapid, drew the first conclusions after his team won Monday evening, in the last match of the fourth round, on his own ground, score 2-1, against those from FC Botosani.
The move of Gâlcă from the break, which introduced it to the field on the new French Baroan attacker, has proven to be decisive. He scored a “double” in nine minutes, with his goals bringing a new success to the Giulesti, who trembled at the end, after the Onge has reduced from the deficit with a gorgeous free kick.
Rapid returns to the first place in Superliga, with 10 points, equal to Lighthouse and Craiova University.
Costel Gâlcă, the first reaction after the victory with FC Botosani
“More tired than a thoughtful, I congratulate the boys. They made a pretty good match. For 80 minutes they showed up well, the opponent did not create many occasions, everything was fine.
But the void I received is dissatisfied. I knew what qualities he has: that it is a combination, that he comes between lines, that he feels the game, has presence in the game, in the box, very good completion. But it's not 100%yet, and he's aware of that. At the end of the match it was difficult.
Onea has a swollen ankle, we hope there is nothing serious. I am worried. And Manea was ironed on her hand, she has a swollen hand. We want to have everyone apt as soon as possible. In the first half we could not create opportunities, we were not present near the box.
But with the entrance of Baroan I had a plus, the void came. It is very important that we have 10 points. All week I emphasized that it will be a team with a speed, with a good coach.
An unstable execution (no about the goal received). If he was near the wall, there must be a man in the wall. I haven't seen the goal yet. Stolz had pretty good evolutions. And on our construction there were passes, we did not coordinate well, “said Constantin Gâlcă at the end of the match, at the show” Digisport Special “, from Digi Sport.
