Cristiano Bergodi, the coach of U Cluj, analyzed victory with FC Argeș, score 3-1. The Italian believes that his team still needs 5 points to be sure of the play-offs.
Asked if he can think about the title, Bergodi ruled out the option that U Cluj will fight to win the championship.
Cristiano Bergodi: “I think we still need 4-5 points to enter the play-offs”
“I am very satisfied, I want to congratulate the players, they played a good match. I met a good, aggressive team. I have a united group and a group of competitive players.
Argesu didn't concede anything, we got a little scared when they scored. It's a shame that we conceded a goal, we had a long streak without conceding a goal, but it's good that we won, it's a 100% deserved result.
Let's be serious, we can't think of a title. We are four points. We knew it was an important match, that we could overcome Argeşul, which is a pleasant surprise of the season. I knocked and it's good.
I think we still need 4-5 points to enter the play-offs, depending on how the others behave. We took a very important step for the play-off, said Bergodi, according to digisport.ro.
It will be a very nice match with CFR, a derby, a special game, it's pride, it's rivalry. We are meeting a good team that has recovered points, played, won and now is fighting for the play-offs. It will be a very difficult match.
– Cristian Bergodi, U Cluj coach
I haven't done my play-off calculations so far, I want to maintain the aggressiveness, the short team, to collect points. If we collect a few more points, we will also think about the play-offs.
– Alex Chipciu, U Cluj captain
