“I do not do strategies, this is to ask the technical staff. The club's motto is to play the best, to take everything from the match. I do not know the team tomorrow, I do not know what the approach will be, as well as the Sunday match, I do not know, it is the philosophy of the club,” said Mihai Rotaru.

We have to have courage. This is the basic word. We are all beginners and it is time to show courage. Otherwise, with their impeccable defensive organization, it is impossible to leave with point or points here
Mirel Rădoi, coach CSU Craiova
In an interview with GSP.ro, the Romanian international Bogdan Racovițan (stop, 25 years) spoke about him and his team before the confrontation with the Oltenians. Of course, he said that the Poles target Victoria, seeing this confrontation and as a click for what will follow in the championship.
I follow the news in Romania, I know that the opponent is in good form in Europe, that he plays in a system with three defenders, similar to ours, I think it is a good team. However, I hope to win
