Rapid – Steel 0-2. Paul Iacob, the central defender of Galați, had a message for the management at the end of the game in Giulesti, after the superb goal scored at the end of the match.
Iacob scored for 2-0 from a free kick. He sent under the bar, defeating Aioani, his former colleague. He explained that he was in training to practice free kicks, then he said that he hoped to receive his outstanding wages at Oțelul.
Paul Iacob: “I would be happy if Santa Claus from Galăța came to us, to receive our money, because we are a few salaries behind”
“It's strange to say the opponents, I consider them my friends. I scored goals from a free kick before, but it was the most beautiful. Two colleagues told me that I don't shoot, that it's too far, in training I shoot closer.
It's hard for me to come out, I often miss everything. I have learned over the years. I try to give it a folha seca trajectory, and Petrila beats like me. It happened to me.
At Oțelul we saw a fantastic quality of the players, a unity of the group. I would be happy if Santa Claus from Galăța came to us, to receive our money, because we are a few salaries behind.
It would be normal for us to receive our money as well. We played extremely well, we didn't let them play their game, the victory cannot be contested. Oțelul beat the better team, even if they also had an opportunity through Elvir,” said Iacob, on Prima Sport 1.
