Leo Grozavu, after CFR Cluj – Botosani 3-3: “Anestis was the guardian angel”
“When you take a point at CFR, you can't be unhappy. I had many inaccuracies in all the compartments, but in the end I took a point. We will have to give him value with the following results.
I was not upset at the break, I wanted a little more reaction. In the first half I was quite apathetic. With the ball I played very little, I didn't have the courage. In the second half I was more consistent. I can't say I did wonders.
Clearly, CFR is a new upper team, but we must continue with positive results. The guardian angel was anestis. It is clear that I had a goalkeeper in anestis on a grace day. He pulled out a lot of balls he wrote empty. That's why it's our goalkeeper. He has a coach who deals a lot to give him as much value.
I scored three times on the field of CFR, it is not easy, but I still took a point with emotions. We didn't get much, we will have to stay on the seriousness line. There were many moments when I had no reaction, in the second half many phases played negligently. I could more in this season start. It is good to give continuity to the results, “said Leo Grozavu, at the first sport.
They made us clearly, but we showed that we are a strong team and who knows how to suffer. I repeat, I had a guardian angel in the gate. We know how to suffer, but also to rejoice. We show that we are a team that can return the result at any time.
We do not create many opportunities, but whenever we have, we have to mark. We show it at every match: we win at home, we do not lose, except for the match with Rapid.
