“Facts! His words had cover”

He also wanted to note Cristi Manea (28 years old). Appointed the best player of the match, the footballer scored the 2nd goal at the National Arena and performed his defensive duties very well.

Pancu he remembered a moment spent after Rapid – Botoșani 2-1, in stage 4 of the Superliga. Then, Manea talked about leaving due to the fact that he was not getting many minutes.

He had become Onea's reserve, and the footballer said the following: “When you see that you are not playing the starting match, I, who have claims to go to the national team, naturally I try to find something else. I don't want to bother anyone, take the money for nothing or…I want to enjoy football and play.”

Two and a half months later, Manea is the rightful starter at Rapid, he scores in the derby with Dinamo and is the starter for the national team in the friendly with Moldova.

“(no – Who was the man of the match) Koljic and Manea, two of them. Manea was summoned to this action, with Moldova he played as a starter. He can definitely become more important for the national team and now he is still young.

It can be a solution, and look, you see, he was unhappy, he even threatened to leave, and in football as soon as things turn around, he is now proving it on the field. He was very displeased, look that after what happens, he also redoes it with his hand (no – accident)also catches the national flag and scores. His words had cover.

We can't say that the victory is surprising, because we knew from the beginning that it was a game between two teams close in terms of value, a derby open from the start to any result. The game, as a whole, Dinamo much more dangerous if we take into account the opportunities.

The rapid I think is a victory that belongs to the coach. At halftime he makes two changes and gives another weight to the midfield, there with Vulturar. Rapid looked much better, Dinamo didn't create any scoring chances, plus Braun instead of Badescu.

Very inspired Gâlcă, balances a lot of the whole game and midfield. You were tempted to say that you were going for a draw or a goal following an imbalance or an unfortunate incident, set pieces, which happened, and Rapid also had a chance.

I think it's a win brought about by the inspiration of the coach at halftime. The goal comes after three or four consecutive corners”, said Pancu, on GSP Live Special.

I think Musi was the best player from Dinamo. That's how it seemed to me. He is an active player, who created a lot of goal phases, he crossed. I liked it very much.
