Daniel Ciorceri (70 years old), coach with a PRO license from CFR Cluj, was interviewed at the end the match with Rapidscore 3-0, instead of Daniel Pancu (48).
Ciorceri made an extremely surprising statement, he said that the victory over the Superliga leader is the result of the work done by Andrea Mandorlini and Dan Petrescu, Daniel Pancu's predecessors at CFR Cluj.
He also said that the energy that Daniel Pancu has can sometimes exceed certain limits.
George Ciorceri, according to CFR Cluj – Rapid: “Today's victory belongs to the coaches who were before, to Mandorlini, Dan Petrescu”
“The evolution of the team has been in line with the training of the last few days. I have seen the boys very motivated. I want to emphasize, today's victory belongs to the coaches who were before, to Mandorlini, Dan Petrescu, to whom I wish good health.
We probably pushed a button and managed to win. For the first time, I would like to start with the fact that Mr. President Muresan, having returned to the team, has brought stability and seriousness back.
Daniel Pancu came with a lot of energy. I think that we, who are older, put a little more brake on each other. It's good to have energy, but to have certain limits. The team felt it. Obviously we will fight in the play-off”, said George Ciorceri, at Prima Sport.
