Filipe Coelho, the coach from Craiova, drew the conclusions at the end draw with Dinamoscore 1-1, from round 26 of the Superliga.
At the end of the match, Coelho said that his team had practiced good football and he was satisfied with the team's performance. The coach has a dissatisfaction: the fact that he had one less day of preparation against Dinamo before this match, and this will also happen in the match against FCSB, on Thursday, in the Romanian Cup.
Filipe Coelho, after Dinamo – Craiova: “I'm not thinking about the title”
“It was a very good performance, from my point of view. Just one point for us. With the performance we had, we could have got all three points, but in the end the opponent was effective: one shot on goal, one goal.
We have to accept that and move on. I am satisfied with the performance, which takes precedence over the result. I'm proud of the boys, the personality they had, but I'm not happy with the result.
The cold was not an inconvenience. We can't control the weather, maybe it influenced the physical part a bit. Dinamo played as we expected and as we prepared. We knew Soro could play up top, they scored and the goal changed the course of the game a bit. It was not a surprise for us, we expected Soro to play forward.
I don't think about the title. I'm always asked about the title, title, title. I like to take it step by step, match by match, not to think so much in advance. We have one day less to prepare for the match with FCSB, as we had with Dinamo.
We'll see how the players feel tomorrow. In less than 72 hours we have to play again. It is not easy for the players, but the most important thing now is to return to Craiova, sleep well and recover”, said Coelho, at the press conference.
