Petrolul – Craiova University 0-4. Filipe Coelho (45 years old), the Olten coach, reacted after the categorical success achieved by his team in Ploiesti.
Despite the score difference, the Portuguese states that the match was not so easy. He still maintains that it doesn't matter who scores and the team is the most important.
He stated that the second half was not at the highest level, as happened in the first, but overall he cannot be satisfied with the result.

“I'm happy. It was a different game to the one in the Cup. The players understood what we had to do. It's a fair result.
It wasn't easy. We tried to score to settle the game. In some moments we had to suffer. I had this ability. In the second half we could control the match better, have more possession, but the result is fair.
For me it is not the most important player who scores. It's teamwork. Forwards and wingers work on the phases leading to the goal. Sometimes he scores one player, sometimes another. The team is important.
What matters most is what the players do during the week in training. All the young people here are training well. It works very well. I never look at age when picking players. The way they work, that's all.
I am the coach. I work with the players I have available. I'm happy with the players I have here. You never know what can happen. The transfer window is still open.
We are working as best as possible to give everything we can with those we have at our disposal”, said Filipe Coelho, at Prima Sport.
