FCSB – Csikszereda 1-0. Darius Olaru (27 years old), the FCSB midfielder, came “damaged” to the flash-interview, with a swollen lip, accusing several fouls received throughout the game.

He did not understand the refereeing decisions, considering that the opponents fouled too much, he himself being the most tormented among the red-blues. Accused of faking too often, Olaru answered ironically that this time he was just faking, even though the traces of the opponents' fouls were visible on his face.

Beyond that, Olaru was happy for the success and now hopes that this result will be doubled by one of the same in four days, with FC Botoșani, the team that won the round match, from Moldova.

The statements of Darius Olaru, after the victory against Csikszereda, 1-0

“I wasn't in Buzău on the previous snow, with my colleagues, but we were happy that we won. We should have scored more in the first half and made our match easier.

I don't know why more cards weren't given. There were three entries for me: one with a sole, full contact, he didn't give a single foul. The second one with the elbow up, and he said he protected the ball… If that's how the ball is protected… I showed him on camera, I'm showing him now, that's what he said, that he protected the ball… I simulated again.

They tried to be aggressive, but we needed to break away in the first half and score more. There was less snow and we had to register more.

I also made an effort with Fener, but the victory is important, that we got it. We are used to playing every 3 days. I am happy that we are ready, that we have rhythm and we have to be ready.

In 4 days there is a difficult match against Botoșani, we have to get revenge, they beat us at their home.

I am happy for him (No. Matei Popa, the new goalkeeper) that he finished the game without conceding a goal, we are all happy. I don't want to discuss more, because Tarnovanu is my friend, but I hope that Matei will continue like this. We all talk in the dressing room, he played a good game”, said Darius Olaru, after the match, on the show “Digi Sport Special”.
