UPDATE | Ion Pârcălab's analysis: “Musi, the hardest loss! A draw would be good”
Exclusively for GSP.ro, “Arrow of the Carpathians” Ion Pârcălab prefaced the duel in Moldova.
“It is a very complicated trip, Botoșani is a difficult team, they play well at home, especially where they are hard to beat. But nothing is impossible, I believe we will have a good game and I can't wait to watch the game on TV. I see there are some players who are unavailable, Musi for example. That's the hardest loss, he was the base in the attack. Anyway, we're trying to get as much as we can out of here, I think a draw would be good too.
[E acesta un test al maturității pentru Dinamo?] That's exactly it, yes. I said, if we qualify in the top six, it's an extremely good result. The results will come, but there is no need to rush, time was short in the summer. Qualifying for the play-offs would be excellent, I say.The fans already want 1st place, they say a lot, they support the team unconditionally, I haven't seen a better gallery, but we can't ask for more, in my opinion that's all we can do at the moment. I would settle for a draw tonight too, I think that if we don't lose it would be an accomplished goal, let's not forget how much Botoșani led the ranking, now he can go back to first place”, commented Pârcălab, exclusively for GSP.ro.
UPDATE | Video of the arrival of the Dynamo players in Botoșani: Mazilu made the trip with his colleagues
Dinamo published a video of the team landing at the Iasi Airport, later with their accommodation at the hotel in Botoșani. The extreme Adrian Mazilu also appears in the images, a player in the last part of the recovery period. While waiting for his debut at Dinamo, Mazilu went to Botoșani to settle in with his colleagues.
Both teams are aiming for victory, especially since people from both camps claim that getting the 3 points tonight could secure a place in the play-offs from now on.
It's an important game like all the others. More points are not given for a match with Dinamo, but it obviously has a stake, considering that they are behind us. It's a fit, homogeneous team with a coach who knows very well what's going on and who does a very good job
Leo Grozavu, FC Botoșani coach
