VIDEO. Vali Lazăr beat Chindia Târgoviște with amateurs: “I do not know if it is so incredible”
“I do not know if it is so incredible because I thought they would play with a mixed team, holding that they have three matches in 6 days and the championship is much more important for them. I am glad that I have eliminated a tradition team and I am very happy for this city that has not received a Liga 2 team in the Cup. my madness for two years.
I don't know if the difference has made anything. I think being old players at Liga 1 in Chindia, some even with European cups, coming with a few young people, because it was normal to give them minutes, the motivation of our players was to become known.
Yes, we have players who came directly from work. I had three players at night, they went out at 7 in the morning, and 2 worked from 7 o'clock and we managed to get them out of work plus two at Digi who work at the office and managed to leave earlier, plus a taxi driver from 8 to make an extra money.
With 80% of them I left Liga 4 and made them believe that I can more, and today's match is a bonus for everyone. Only one taxi driver, another was only a period. Looks like I beat them. This is football. I played in Turkey at Liga 2 and took a beating from a Liga 4 team.
Anything could happen. The players were motivated. I'm glad for them. We are waiting to see who we will receive over 2 weeks. A player is now going to night, he was free today, “Vali Lazăr said in a video posted on the Tik Tok platform.
