Claudiu Petrila (25 years old), the left wing and the “decarul” from Rapid, explained how the last goal of the match with Csikszeredascore 4-1, from the 18th round of the Superliga.
Petrila was the hero of the match in Giulesti, with a goal and two assists. He said what Cristi Manea sent him before the corner from which the defender made the score 4-1.
The former colleague from CFR told Petrila where to send the ball, and the attacking player complied.
Claudiu Petrila, after Rapid – Csikszereda 4-1: “We had to take the points”
“Yes, we were coming after a bad match in Cluj, we were obliged to take the points. We played a perfect match, we took them, we are happy. In my mind I somehow knew that I had to score, I was in the match, I had actions. I managed to score, I really needed it.
I'm not necessarily in debt, but I had some important opportunities in both Craiova and CFR. I somehow knew in my mind that I had to score. I think it was the same phase as in the Metaloglobus match.
I also said then that I was angry with myself that my score didn't come out, it was 0-2, I wanted to play again, but it's his decision. Manea told me where to score, I've done that before, but it didn't really work out.

It's the first time it's happened to us. It was a very important match, we had to win to stay in first place. Three very important points, we are thinking about Tuesday's game.
I thank the fans for being by our side, even if it is cold and raining, I hope they will be by our side in the future”, said Claudiu Petrila, at Prima Sport.
A very tough match, they are going through very good form and have bounced back. It's a very uncomfortable team, they gave us problems, but I'm very happy that we got the points. I really needed it after the game in Cluj
