Steven Nsimba, 29 years old, can't wait for Monday's confrontation between Dinamo and Universitatea Craiova, the derby for 1st place. The striker said that there is no longer any problem with leaving until the summer, he wants to stay in Banie to win the title
Steven Nsimba put his shoulder to the victory of Craiova University with Oțelul, score 1-0. From him came the decisive cross for David Matei's goal. The French made his presence felt in the game.
He managed to put the ball in the net at the end of the match, only that the referee Florin Andrei canceled the goal. He also requested a penalty, which was not granted, a detail that upset the attacker.
Steven Nsimba is looking forward to the match with Dinamo with confidence: “It will be important to win. The most dangerous opponent for us is ourselves”
“It's a big match, with a big rivalry. It will be important to win, that's what we want to do, to win 3 points. Our mentality was stronger than that of the Steel, we were focused, we got back to the 1st place. That was important, to win. It's always good to be in the 1st place.
I gave an assist, I also scored a goal, but unfortunately it was offside. And I got a penalty, the referee didn't give it, although in my opinion it was.
FCSB in the play-out? I'm focused on our match, to be in 1st place and to take the title at the end of the season. If they (FCSB) make it to the play-offs, good for them.
The most dangerous opponent for us is ourselves. We have many opponents, but if we play well, I don't think many can beat us. I showed both in Europe and in the domestic competition”, reacted the offensive footballer.

Steven had several offers to go abroad in the winter mercato, but the decision was to stay in Banie. A team from China, Zhejiang FC, put 1.2 million euros on the table to transfer him to the massive top.
“I'm here, the mercato is over, now, I'm focused on what I have in Craiova. I refused some offers, I want to be focused and lead the team to the title.
My life in Craiova is good, it is a beautiful city, good to live in. I was watching Rapid's matches, as I am friends with Jayson Papeau (now a player at Unirea Slobozia).
In Romania it is a good league, very strong, it has very strong defenders. I think I have adapted here. I don't know that it was wanted by Rapid. By Dinamo? (laughs) I don't know anything,” Nsimba added.
