Florin Prunea, about UTA Arad: “It is a physically built team. It impressed me”
After the draw with Dinamo, score 1-1, from round 6 of the Superligion, Florin Prunea declared the fan of the Aradians and said that they have serious chances to fight for a place in the first 6 teams.
“UTA seems to me an extremely strong” nut “this year. It is a physically built team. It impressed me. I think it is a team that will fight at the play-off this season,” said Florin Prunea, according to digisport.ro.
The UTAs recorded 3 wins and 3 draws in the first 6 stages. They won with Hermannstadt, Oil and Lighthouse and drew with Craiova, U Cluj and Dinamo.
Last season, “Textilists” ended the championship in 10th, with 31 points. The “old lady” lot is listed at 9 million euros, according to the specialized site transfermarkt.com.
We are in a position that forces us to maintain ourselves. And the pressure will come from the match to the match. UTA has a good game, but not during the match. It has an audience that encouraged us and when we were led by 3-0 and we equalized. Positive results give you confidence. We have a stability that does not offer the opportunity to play very well.
