Alexandru Bourceanu carefully followed the duel between Steel Galați and Craiova University, from the 10th stage, won by Moldovans with 1-0. Born in Galați, Bourceanu played for the Danube band one season, in 2008-2009.
Invited to GSP Live, the former defensive midfielder shared his opinion about the game without many occasions, which he considered “unclear”.
VIDEO. The conclusions of Alexandru Bourceanu after Steel – Craiova University 1-0: “A scheme for the first time”
“It was a pretty unclear match, the land was slippery. I saw many changes in possession, but not too much chance. At the fixed phases of the attack, Craiova tried a scheme that I have never seen before. I mean that demarcation at Băluță's short corner. In the second half, they returned to what they were doing, with that ball on the long corner for Romanchuk.
It is interesting that Rădoi chose to play with two fast attackers. I think he tried at times to force Steel's side defenders to press the Oltenian band players, so there are two against two situations, with large space behind the defense. The chances he had in the first half came.
Maybe it would have been helpful for the players of the band from Bănie to defend themselves slightly, to give to the steel the chance to climb with the ball and to exploit those spaces. On the other hand, the steel tried to press up. Even though the Craiova's band players were free and received the ball, the opponents managed to recover and did not let them build”, The former midfielder told GSP Live.
The steel came with a short corner center, a seemingly classic, without scheme phase, and marked. Otherwise, there were not too many occasions in the match
