After University Craiova – FCSBscore 2-2, Gică Craioveanu (57 years old), the legend of Olten, criticized the strategy chosen by Filipe Coelho (45), the technician of the team from Bănie.
Gică Craioveanu “charged” Coelho for the fact that he declared after the match that he did not have many solutions in attack. He also does not understand why the Portuguese decided to switch midfielder Samuel Teles to the right lane.
Gică Craioveanu, after Craiova – FCSB: “I don't understand Filipe Coelho”
“If even Craiova has no more solutions… Then, what else can we say about Dinamo? There is no such thing! You have 3 strikers in the team: Etim, Nsimba and Assad. With FCSB there were fewer solutions, but Craiova University has more options. You could play with a fake number 9.
Dinamo gave you a goal with a fake 9. You can find solutions. I didn't like De Teles there on the right. I think the team loses a lot with him there. He's a bulldog, a back-and-forth player, very physically strong.
Filipe Coelho
He is used to playing in the center. If you put it in the right lane, then it has no speed. In the phase with Tavi Popescu, he calculated the phase horribly. It was going to come out empty. I don't want Teles to think I have a thing for him, but he's not a gang player.
I don't understand Coelho, why he keeps insisting with him there. You're torturing a player there! I have seen a lot of cases with many footballers taken out of their action and comfort zone, but who did not yield and suffered a lot. You have to play with the players in their positions!” said Gică Craioveanu, according to digisport.ro.
