Marius Măldărășanu (50 years old), Hermannstadt's coach, commented the victory in Giulesti, 2-1 with Rapidformation he represented as a player.
The Sibiu were led to Giulești, but returned in the last quarter of an hour, thanks to the goals signed by Sergiu Buș and Aurelian Chițu.
Marius Măldărășanu feels that his team deserved to leave with all the points in Giulești, referring especially to what happened in the first half, in which the fast dated no shot!
Marius Măldărășanu, victorious in Giulești: “I am glad that Sergiu Buș does not hesitate”
“In the last few minutes I think I had a very high pulse. It was a crazy match but I think We deserve these 3 points due to the attitude and game in the first half. Many occasions, we were very good on the ground, did not give them the opportunity to reach and have situations in our place. I even missed a few clear balls.
In the second half we talked to keep the ball a little, because I knew they would start, but that situation appeared and I took empty. But the boys believed to the end. I said that at some point the chance will return, but only if we play. And here, against the background of a domination of the Rapid, as a possession, in the end we managed to mark and win this match.
Three large points, which can give us an impetus from now on, ”Măldărășanu told Primasport.
Asked about the changes made, both markers are introduced along the wayMăldărășanu replied:
“And Marko [Gjorgjievski] It was very good from all points of view, Cristi [Neguț] He has made a great effort, puts pressure on opponents and the defensive phase, is very dangerous on the attack. At one point we changed a little and played with Cristi behind the two attackers, but it was difficult to cover the width of the field and we had to return to the game with two intens.
It's normal, that's what I want from the attackers. I said I would try to rotate them, because everyone is preparing well, it is worth a chance.
To Sergiu I am glad to no longer hesitate, because Has his moments in which he is looking for the duel, the fight, the contact, and hesitates to sit at the gate. Now he took the takeover, gave the gate and came out empty. Plus Chițu … a coach is about inspiration, but it was clear that I would make these changes during the game. “

Received with applause, cursed later
Marius Măldărășanu was warmly received by Giulești, requested in pictures and autographs before the match, but some supporters turned against him, reproaching him that Sibiu would not use as much against other opponents, such as FCSB.
“Yes, they stayed behind the bank again and … yes, this is it. It is normal to swear. They cursed me as a footballer, but as a coach of the opponent? But I played with everything, I also beat Dinamo with 3 or 4-0 last seasons, but it is my work. This topic.
Other ideas of Marius Măldărășanu:
I wish them much bafta and I'm sure this year will be in the European Cups, because they have a consistent lot, a very balanced coach.
Maybe that's what they lacked. I do not make a comparison between Gâlcă and Șumi, but last year quickly was very easily charged from the outside and needs balance, one that Gâlcă can offer.
Antwi has some sensational motor qualities. Last year I was playing with the baba there, on the right. He also played, but less, but he wanted very much to stay with us. He is happy, this time he is the holder in his position. Yes, he made a very good match, with an opponent, on Braun, and with speed and forcefully. It was our additions at certain times, took the ball with him and gained a lot of land. They all played well, but if you asked me about Nana, I think it has a great growth potential.
What did Aurelian Chițu say, decisive goal scorer:
It was very, very difficult. I won with great chance, at the last phases of the game. It was time to win a match, we had already entered a very bad pass. Probably from now on we will start to gather more points.
This was to be today, to enter I and Sergiu, to mark and to win the match. I didn't feel something, I just came in, I tried to play football, as usual, and this time it came out.
I was going through a difficult moment. The atmosphere was quite pressing, we were all thinking of getting out of this crisis as soon as possible. I hope I succeeded with this match.
