Nicolas Popescu, after debuting for Steaua: “This shirt means pressure”
“A difficult match, we wanted a lot of victory, I needed it to stay up. I am very happy for the victory. Constructive emotions, I haven't played for a long time, I wanted to show what I can. I miss the rhythm, but I will be better and better.
It is clear that they are not one hundred percent physically. I did not play over 40 minutes in the summer, from a friendly at the Lighthouse. I'll look a lot better. It was a match on Contre. I knew that after the break we had to enter, to return and win because we play in front of the supporters.
There is our place, there must be the star. This shirt means pressure. The reason I came here is simple, I want to play football and it is clear that I didn't have so much chances. I wanted to come here, Steaua is a huge team.
Of course I discussed with my father, I always do it, he told me that I need to play, any player needs matches. I will look better and better, I will end my pace, “said Nicolas Popescu, at Digi Sport.
Nicolas Popescu was good for the first game, he has no rhythm, he only trained at the Lighthouse, he did not have official matches. Run, enter into combinations, arrive at the end, for the beginning it is quite good.
