Zeljko Kopic prefaced the match with Metaloglobus: “I used this week for recovery”
“The team is happy. Everyone is happy. We can feel this, this energy. We are happy when we make our supporters with a victory after a long time in front of the big rival. The team is in good shape. We used this week for recovery. It was a hard match, a lot of intensity, but also mentally.
Very many emotions. We recovered to be prepared for the match with Metaloglobus. We have a hard match in front and we expect to have personalitylet's play well and give everything for three other points. It's an important match for us.
We see that in all the matches there are many draws or where you expect other results. You have to be prepared for every game, run, play the best football. If you are not at the highest level you cannot expect the maximum of points. We are satisfied with the 3 points with FCSB, but now we focus on the match with Metaloglobus.
The Irimia brothers are ours. The best decision was to go there to play. They played a lot in Liga 2. We follow their progress. They will have a lot of matches in the Superliga this year. I can be an example for young players. For me this is the right way and I know they will be very motivated tomorrow.
CFR and Craiova have heavier opponents. FCSB have more quality than opponent. When the Romanian teams play Romanian, the best thing is to make results for promoting the league in the European Cups.
When you are at Dinamo after a few results everyone is worried. When you have results, the claims grow is normal, but it is better if we talk about the highest positions than to talk about problems.
With UTA we play on the National Arena and then see. I don't know details. For me it is very important to adapt and play as many matches on the National Arena, for European Cups. And because we will play derby there.
It was an incredible moment for Armstrong. It's a dream to give three goals and win in the first derby. For him he is incredible. It's fine, but I told him to stay with his feet on the ground and continue to work. All claims have risen but I think it can cope with”, The Croatian coach said at the press conference preceding the party with Metaloglobus.
