The former international great Ilie Dumitrescu has only one question mark in the case of those from Craiova University, team that drew with U Clujscore 0-0, in the 18th round of the Superliga.
Ilie Dumitrescu has doubts about how the coach from Lusita will manage the dressing room of Olten, given that in the Ardeal match important players such as Steven Nsimba or Alexandru Cicâldău started on the bench.
He believes that Mirel Rădoi was a much more suitable technician from this point of view.
Ilie Dumitrescu, after U Cluj – Craiova: “This is my only question mark: how will Coelho manage the locker room?”
“I see only one problem in Craiova: the way Coelho will manage these doubles in the post. Cicâldău is not happy. Baiaram is not happy. Nsimba, the same. It matters how he will manage this situation.
Radoi had personality and no one breathed next to him. That's my only question mark: How will he manage the locker room? They are good players with personality”, the former international pointed out.
I'm happy for the first half. I did everything I planned. We missed, and in the second half they forced. It's normal, we had a game in the Conference League, and some players are not fresh. It's normal. We take it step by step.
In the second half, Cluj played a more direct game. We weren't fresh enough to defend, to press. It's normal. In the second half the best chance to score was ours. We keep our mentality in every game and we will see.
