“We must not forget this”

It is not the first time that the coach has this desire and now there is a good chance that the boss Mihai Rotaru will accept it. Sandoi analyzed the problems in Craiova and had only words of praise for the coach, considering that at the moment there is no need for such a shock to the team and that the former selector must continue.

Săndoi highlighted Craiova's results under Rădoi's baton, the transfer campaign carried out by him and believes that, despite the unfortunate period, Craiova is the main favorite to win the title in the Superliga.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO. Emis Săndoi: “Mirel deserves appreciation, he is the best coach in the country”

“I think it would be a mistake, from my point of view. I was at the match, a match with a special history. Craiova dominated in a categorical manner, had the important opportunities of the game, only a conjuncture made the result what it was.

I tell you honestly, I like Mirel Rădoi. I don't know exactly, there are other teams ahead of Craiova, but I think he is the best coach in the country. Bad times happen to any team, but it's important to close ranks.

I stated from the very beginning that, from the point of view of the transfers and how they molded the Craiova team, I see it as the main favorite to win the championship and I still see it. I'm talking about everything related to the club, shareholding, numerical lot, valuable.

The ranks must be closed, I am convinced that Craiova will overcome this period. He also demonstrated in the championship, with Rapid. If we think about possession, chances, Craiova would have deserved the victory, and Gâlcă admitted after the game.

The match at Rapid Vienna then, a very good match. You see, we are going on two fronts, three fronts, with the Romanian Cup. For these matches in the European cups you end up paying a tribute, and so does FCSB, after the European cups messed up in Hermannstadt.

You have to expect to pay a tribute for Conference League games. A maximum intensity, consumption, falls on the team. Radoi is very involved. Each of us is human, we have feelings, we are different. We can't all be the same. From this point of view, they are feelings that all coaches have, some externalize less, others more.

But, from the point of view of professionalism, preparation, Mirel deserves appreciation. Moments like this happen to all teams. Under no circumstances should decisive decisions be made at such times. As a coach, you have to go through these periods, maybe to train yourself for what comes next. I am convinced that the team can have “n” matches to win them all.

There are no big differences, everything is played in this championship. At some point, playing in the Conference League as well, the team has a real chance to be in the top 24 and has a chance to win the championship. From my point of view, that's the basic idea: everyone, staff, players, shareholders, must unite.

We must not forget what Mirel Rădoi did as a coach for Romanian football. It must be managed wisely, calmly. I am convinced that this period will pass. Mirel is a cerebral person, I'm sure he can handle situations like that.

That's how it is in sports, in life, things can't always go the way you want them to. But it is very important in these moments to be realistic. There is nothing lost, it is not the end of the country. It was a pure coincidence, UTA scored in the first phase in which the center of the field passed. The opportunities they had… It's not the end of the country.

It's not pleasant, everyone was expecting something else, but nothing is lost. Everything is played. What can CFR or FCSB say, if they had so many opportunities to go up in the rankings and didn't capitalize on any of them?”, said Emil Săndoi, at GSP Live.

Emil Săndoi: “Rapid won on balance”

“Do you know where Rapid had to win in the championship? With stability, with the balance he had within the club. Here he won. From this point of view, I can only have words of praise for the coaches. Costel Gâlcă, by the character he has, by the way he communicates, the mentality he transmits, gave balance to the team.

Here Rapid won. He didn't make sensational transfers like Craiova did. It will prove during the championship that Craiova made exceptional transfers. Advantages and disadvantages, it's a period when it's normal to happen like this: some teams to have a chance, to be in good form.

Teams that don't show much on the field can also win, but that doesn't mean the situation can't be reversed.

Craiova is a much more effervescent team, more beautiful than the vast majority of teams in the championship. Indeed, there are a few players who seem to have stalled, Asaad, for example, has not had the results since the beginning. With the passage of time it faded, but I see Craiova much more effervescent, both as a game and as an expression.

Rapid has been more balanced so far, but has had the advantage of Rapid so far. An insignificant point difference. There are still stages, the points are halved. Craiova, I think, in terms of lot and expression, is very good. He can repair the field very well”, concluded Emil Săndoi's intervention at GSP Live.
