Ianis Zicu (41 years old), the header coach, reacted after Victoria by 2-1 In front of Ploiești oil, in the epilogue of stage 8 of the Superliga.
After 3 consecutive failures in the championship, the Constans won with emotions, following a penalty granted in the last minutes. The lighthouse thus returns instead of play-off.
At Flash-interview, the technician spoke about his players, especially by Jovan Markovic, who told him he had to train better.
Ianis Zicu did not house Jovan Markovic: “To get his hands on”
“A match gained with emotions, just like all this year. I won with suffering, with injured players. In the case of Matei, after the return we had to force a little with him, because we needed on the right side. Ișfan had an injury and I couldn't risk having something else.
All the players who entered had the necessary energy, and after the match at Hermannstadt they had the right reaction. I want to thank them in this way, they made an extraordinary effort.
In David Maftei, it is probably about the area where he had that muscle problem. We hope it is back in 3-4 weeks. We will take care of him, we will not risk anymore.
When you approach the box, there are moments that can be decisive. Today we had the chance to receive this penalty and to make it, to win a complicated match. We were in the back, but now we sat on a place that allows us to fight for the play-off.
Sima is a player I like, I saw him well throughout this period, he has always been involved in training. He was a holder in the cup for the first time, he gave a goal pass, and now not only he has removed the penalty, but his effort must be appreciated. A very good match for a beginner.
Markovic is a player who can bring us a plus, but has to work. He has no rhythm of play, he has to get his hands. In this break it will run. We take the break, because the emotional load of the last few weeks, in which we have not been able to make points, exhausted the players. They are not at a very high international level, so they can quickly overcome such moments, “said Ianis Zicu, at the” Digi Sport Special “show.
