Craiova University – Rapid 2-2. Victor Angelescu, the minority shareholder of Giulești, reacted after the crazy match in Bănie. In his view, the result is frustrating, but fair, given the aspect of the game.
At the end of the regular season tour, Angelescu he is satisfied with the course of Giulești. Rapid leads with 32 points, at least until Monday.
At the flash-interview, Mirel Rădoi, Olten's technician, said that the result is unfair, taking into account the ratio of opportunities. Live on TV, Angelescu wanted to answer and contradict him, arguing that his team was tied in the last phase.
Asked about FCSB's return to the top 6, Angelescu admitted that he wants a play-off with the strongest teams, so the satisfaction will be even greater if Rapid achieves a performance.
Victor Angelescu, statements after Craiova – Rapid 2-2: “Aioani played a sensational first half”
The shareholder wanted to praise Marian Aioani (25 years old), the one who had several parades in the first half. However, the goalkeeper fouled Monday Etim in the box in the last phase, which is why Bîrsan dictated a shot from 11 meters, converted by Nsimba.
“When you score in the last phase it's frustrating, it can't be any other way and you like it. Overall, it's a fair result. If we'd won, we'd have won it with luck if it was 2-1.
Craiova had a very good first half, much better than ours, even if we had another chance. It is very difficult to play in Bănie, they entered very well, it is hard to win here. The result is fair, but you can't help but be a little frustrated when you score in the last phase. As a game, it's a fair result.
Aioani had a sensational first half, defended very well. That's right, it came out, it happens, as it has saved us many times. I'm not mad, it happens. It's a fair result and we have to think very carefully, because Craiova also played well, but we could have done more. We had a bad first half, but in the second we played very well.
I've said it since the beginning of the season: I want us to fight for the title and I think we can fight and win it. Now whether we finish 1st or 2nd is less important at the moment.
It matters that I made 32 points in 15 games, I am very happy with the number of points. If we had 64 after 30 stages, that would be great. We have only one loss, I can't be unhappy. It's frustrating because you were waiting to win the match, for it to be over, but it is. We are satisfied.
In the first half they had big chances and were better. I like to be fair. It's Radoi's opinion, but you can't say we were lucky if they scored in the last phase. We could have won, maybe nothing would happen. It's everyone's opinion, it's Mirel's opinion, I'm not going to get into a controversy.
I think they had a half where they could have scored more. They dominated us, in the second we equalised, but that's my opinion. Maybe it's not like that, but I think it's a fair result”, said Angelescu, on “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.
It's a point earned, I played a good game and I'm not afraid of FCSB. I am convinced that FCSB will enter the play-offs, it is normal, they are a strong team and we want to fight with the best.
If we're afraid, we don't stand a chance. We have to show that we are the best, not think about what FCSB is doing. The best teams should be in the play-offs, we want to play them and prove it.
We lost two points in the last minute. We have to win the next game.
