Filipe Coelho (45 years old), the coach of the University of Craiova, declared himself satisfied with his team's game against CFReven if the final result, 1-1, is not entirely to the blue and white's liking.
The university controlled today's game, put 11 shots on Otto Hindrich's goal and generated an important xG of 2.50, but managed to score only once, through Tudor Băluță. Louis Munteanu struck in the second half to close the table with the score 1-1.
Filipe Coelho, the coach who succeeded Mirel Rădoi on the University bench, was disappointed with the result, but satisfied with the game. Throughout the flash interview, he repeated, no matter what question was put to him, that his students needed to keep “working the same.”

“I'm not happy with the result, but with the game yes, the boys played well. I think it's the second time that the best man on the pitch is the opposition goalkeeper. We have to keep working the same way, take it game by game.
Problems are when you don't create goal situations, that wasn't the case today. We must continue to do this. I played a good game, that's football. We have to continue like this, I am happy with the players. Sometimes it happens that you can't win, you just have to keep working.
It's not fair that I only got two points [cu U și CFR]sometimes football is not fair, but we have to keep working,” commented Coelho to PrimaSport.
Asked if he approaches the next game with confidence, the European duel with Sparta Praguethe Portuguese coach said: “We will try, we will see. Now we have to recover the players, see how they are tomorrow and prepare the game.”
The white-blues reached 34 points following today's draw. The leader of the championship, Rapid, would be 7 points away if they win on Monday in Botoșani.
