Costel Gâlcă, after Rapid – UTA 2-0: “I hope we will take advantage”
“I have to congratulate the boys, an exceptional first half, even in the second they had initiatives, we stayed very well in the field, we could mark. The one on the initiation was seen to be worked, the fixed phase as well, I knew they had a goalkeeper who goes out on all the centering, Denis created a very good space.
I always said that the players who enter should bring an addition, Aioani brought a plus today, contributed to many offensive phases.
I did not see the penalty phase, Petrila told me that she was pushed, but I don't know, she didn't see me. We always have a lot to work, it is important to maintain the defensive balance, we need it for constant in attack, to have a faster defense game and more clarity.
The whole team had a very good attitude, a very organized team and, if I didn't make a good match, it was hard to defeat them.
To represent the national team is a lot, it is important to integrate and help the team. For now, Borza is the player of the Rapid, if she will not be, you will know.
I said that it is beneficial for the Romanian teams to qualify, I would have wanted as much as possible and I hope we will take advantage of this fact ”, He said after the match, at Flash-Interviu, the coach of the Rapid, at the show “Digi Sport Special”, from Digi Sport.
The conclusions of the first goal scorer

I am very glad that I won, I am glad that I scored again, I hadn't done it for some time, it's all perfect tonight. We are undecided, I do not know why it is talking about the game, no one will say in a few months that I played badly in the second half, the points matter.
We matured, we did not take goals at the end, it is good that we came back. It is important to win as much as possible, to remain undefeated, to improve our game, work the fixed phases, it is inspiration, but the human marking is very difficult, I know from our own experience.
I think I'm fine, I hope I'm fine, I had a problem in the 20th minute and I guess, if I could finish the match, I'm fine, we see in this competitive break (no ice-in-interview ice).
I want to prepare better, Dobre has been to one of the selections, I wish him a lot, and to Borza, to Vulturar, to represent Romania, I am sure they will do wonderfully.
(No about the fact that FCSB and Craiova play in the European groups) can be a disadvantage, an advantage, they get certain experience, they also have a very large lot and they have taken measures regarding the double Europe – championship, I do not know, it is more until the title fight, it is important to enter the play -off and after seeing.
