U Cluj – FCSB 0-2. Darius Olaru (27 years old), the MVP of Saturday night's game, from the 15th stage of the Superliga, away from home, on the field of the Cluj University, drew the first conclusions immediately after the match. He hopes the team can continue their good form and return with three points from their European clash with Basel in the middle of next week.

Basel – FCSB, in the Europa League, will be played on Thursday, November 6, from 19:45. The match will be liveTEXT on GSP.ro and on TV on Prima Sport 1 and Digi Sport 1

It was Darius Olaru who opened the scoring in the 32nd minute. The captain had an exceptional finish, a volley from inside the box, with no chance for Ștefan Lefter (20 years old). In the second half, Olaru made the “double”, taking advantage of a big blunder in the defense of the “students”, which Olaru speculated to checkmate the opposing team and bring FCSB to the play-off spot, in the last match of the round.

After the match, in the flash-interview, Olaru admitted that he and his team are thinking about the victory away from Basel, in the Europa League.

Darius Olaru, after the match with U Cluj: “We have capacity”

“A difficult match, like any other, there are no easy matches these days. I'm glad we got the 3 points, that's why I came here, that's why I stayed here for three days. We're happy. We're thinking to tie as many positive results as possible, we have the ability to do it, keep being positive, give everything at the time of the match and get the points, we really need it.

It's important for the whole team, with victories comes morale, I hope we continue like this. Everyone did their job, solid performance, hope to keep it up.

We go to Basel to play our chance, a European game, we have to raise our level, run for each other, be a team, take advantage of every opportunity, get the three points.

And those from U Cluj were motivated, and they wanted just as much, but I'm glad that we came out victorious”, said Darius Olaru, after the match, on the Digi Sport microphone.
