Andrei Nicolescu, Dinamo's president, commented draw with Petrol, 1-1 in the 24th stage of the Superliga.
Dinamo's manager declared himself frustrated, given that Dinamo had crushing possession and the net shot ratio on its side, 21-7.
Andrei Nicolescu, after Dinamo – Petrolul: “It's clear, we didn't do something right”
“It's frustrating, but it happens these days. The important thing is to see the decisions made, how good or less inspired they were. It's clear that by not being able to take all the points, in the context in which we clearly dominated the game, we didn't do something right.
Epassy? I think he was put under pressure on the ball before the goal. Somehow, it affected him. It happens, each of us makes mistakes. When the goalkeeper does it is more clear, but that's it.
I don't think we were that good in the first half. If we were that good it would have been 3-0. We were good but we lacked something as we couldn't score. We played well, but we missed the goal. At the end, the line is drawn and in a few months no one will know how this 1-1 was reached.
The only thing certain is that three teams can be sure of the play-offs and the others are still fightingNicolescu said to PrimaSport.
Dinamo's objective: “At least 5th place, extraordinary to play in the European cups”
Asked what is the official goal set for Kopic this season, Nicolescu answered: at least 5th place, preferably qualifying for the European Cups.
“A lot of points will be shared in the coming stages. It's frustrating that we didn't take all the points today because we had all the assets to take them. For us, it doesn't matter if we enter the play-offs in 1st, 2nd or 3rd. The important thing is to be very on point, to be able to fight the decisive battle afterwards.
this (no – European cups) is the objective set by us, yes. Last year it was 6-8, but it would have been great to get into the play-offs and fight there. This year is at least 5th place, but [ar fi] extraordinary to play in the European cups”, said the head of Dinamo.
Dinamo has not completed the transfers
Asked about transfers, Nicolescu revealed that Dinamo is interested in players for 3 departments:
“And Dinamo made investments, paid for Duțu, Mazilu, Nikita, paid for many players. And we are still looking for solutions, but it is not good to discuss this before we have some results.
But we certainly want to have some more news before the transfer window closes. We are looking for solutions for the defensive zone, in the middle and in the offensive zone.
We are in some discussions, but I have no way to say anything at all, because there is no definite predictability on this topic and then we enter the polemic again, and it is interpreted. But we are looking for additional solutions compared to what we have”.
