Alexandru CIcâldău: “Every player wants to be in the national team”
“It doesn't matter that I was the man of the match. We are happy that we got the 3 points, we played with a good team. We try to do our job in every training session, and in the match to put it into practice. We are happy that we don't concede goals.
We met a good team, very well placed in the field. I'm glad I'm feeling good after having that period after the injury. I'm good physically, it feels like I've won a lot of matches. Since the beginning of the year we are a team, we play for the team, everyone puts their qualities at the service of the team.
Tonight we have to be happy, we have two games and two wins, but we have to take it game by game. I felt that Nsimba was going to pass there, even if the goal was on the limit, because the ball also hit the crossbar”, said Cicâldău, on Prima Sport 1.
Every player wants to be in the national team. With great love and pleasure I will go there, if I am summoned.

We have foreseen this game, that's why we have several game systems, depending on the opponent, the characteristics of the game. In the second half we changed [sistemul]we chose this solution and I think it worked out for us, because we played much better. The first half had not been very good.
