The official clarified and reassured the white-cherry supporters:
“Paraschiv had a good half, came on well and put in a lot of effort. I liked how he showed in the 45 minutes. Petrila had severe indigestion, did not train for the last two days and was not fully recovered, but wanted to play. I think that Paraschiv moved well, but it is normal that he needs a few matches to get into his rhythm”.
Victor Angelescu analyzed the victory with Metaloglobus:
“We dominated the game from one end to the other, but if you don't manage to make the most of the chances, it's normal for the game to be difficult. We had three big chances in the first 15-20 minutes. The important thing is that we started the right way, that we won and that, in this time, we finished the game without injuries. Naturally, I would have liked a quieter game and for us to score faster.”
