Starting at right back, Valentin Crețu was replaced in the 66th minute, when his place was taken by the Montenegrin Risto Radunovic. At the end of the game, the red-blue defender analyzed the game and talked about the end of the year for the team.
Valentin Crețu, after the 2-1 success with Rapid: “In the first half we played very well”
“In the first half we played very well. In the second half, the opponents came at us and created opportunities, but I say we deserved the win.
The boys showed character. We came back to a period where we had many games with injured players, and that is not easy at all. I'm very proud and happy for all my teammates, especially since we ended the year well and I'm sure we'll come back even stronger.”
“The fans were amazing”
Crețu also wanted to note the atmosphere in the stands:
“The fans were amazing, there was a lot of people in the stadium, a real derby. The most important thing is to give everything on the pitch and bring victory for the fans.”
The defender also spoke about the more difficult period FCSB went through:
“We revved the engines because we knew we were pretty low in the standings. We revved before but it didn't work out for us. It was two years with performances, then there was a mental and physical load, and the game did not work as we wanted. The important thing is that we recovered.”
In the end, Crețu spoke about his physical condition and what is to come:
“I'm glad I'm out of trouble, I'm back and I can't wait to spend time with my family and loved ones, recharge a bit, and then come back stronger.
I am the same Valentin Crețu. I want to show that I can and do my job. As long as I will be used here, I am a professional and I will do my duty”, declared the FCSB right back.
