CFR Cluj – U Cluj 3-2. Alexandru Chipciu, the left defender of the guests, commented on the failure in Gruia and the duel with Andrei Cordea, the extreme right from CFR.
U's captain declared himself delighted with the attitude of his colleagues, but also with the game. He believes that Cluj University cannot miss the play-off if it repeats its performances.
He also commented on the duels with Andrei Cordea, the direct opponent, to whom he told “not to jump in the pool”, accusing the player from CFR Cluj of faking.
Alexandru Chipciu: “Cluj breathes for U”
“I like how we lost, I wish I lost wars like this. I made 3 big mistakes, but I like being part of this team, to fight wars like this.
In the first half I was nervous, but now I'm proud of my teammates, the way we showed. If we look like this, we'll be in the play-offs, there's no way we won't be.
Cordea hit me during the match, it was nothing more than a yellow. It bothered me that he was bumping into me there and getting hit. If you're a man… If you're strong, be strong, stop jumping in the pool so much!
This Cluj breathes only for U Cluj, thanks to history. I want CFR to qualify for the play-offs, let's play again. I am proud of my colleagues, supporters and congratulations to them for the victory”, said Chipciu, at Prima Sport.
Later, Cordea presented his version. He conveyed that he was cursed by Chipciu at one stage, after a duel, then he responded in the same out of place way. He would have also made a gesture towards the reserve bank, but without targeting Cristiano Bergodi. Cordea presented his apologies.
