The Portuguese coach of Olten emphasized the fact that it was a difficult match for his team, but also the fact that those from Galați did not create clear scoring opportunities. Also, Filipe Coelho said that a tough schedule awaits the Oltenians, and preparations will begin tomorrow for the Bucharest match with Dinamo, scheduled for Monday, February 9, at 8:00 p.m.
Filipe Coelho reacted after Universitatea Craiova – Oțelul 1-0: “The first 20 minutes were not very good, but then we played differently”
“A difficult match as we expected against an organized team. I especially like how Galați play, how they prepare their games. We did not start well. The first 20 minutes were not very good, but then we played differently, we corrected some things. They did not create a clear scoring opportunity. It is a deserved result. These three points are very important.
I don't like to talk about possession. Last game we had 72% possession and lost. Possession is important, but it is not the most important thing. We played against a good team. We must learn, use the present to prepare the future. It will not be simple in the future.
Now it's time to rest a little, and from tomorrow we have to prepare for the next opponent. For today it was ok, we rest a little, we enjoy the victory. Tomorrow we start the preparations. I like how people support us and we are from a city of people who like football, people who value work. They support us in difficult times. Sometimes it's not easy,” Filipe Coelho said at the post-match press conference.
