Dinamo – Unirea Slobozia 1-0. Zeljko Kopic (48), the “dogs” technician, offered the first reaction after tonight's success. The hosts mathematically qualified for the Super League play-off.
The Croat claims that Dinamo deserved to win. He revealed that Devis Epassy (33), the starter in the goal of the “dogs”, could return to training in “2 or 3 days”.
Questioned about the imminent transfer of George Pușcaș (29 years old), Kopic he explained that he had several discussions with him, made a very good opinion of him and is waiting for him at work, after he will complete his medical training.
Zeljko Kopic, statements after Dinamo – Unirea Slobozia 1-0: “I feel that Pușcaș is ready to come, help us, relaunch his career”
“We dominated the match. We had many shots, opportunities. I scored a very nice goal. I am proud of the way we played. We deserve these three points tonight. Sivis also had an opportunity. We try to push the full-backs into such situations, positions. Against us, Slobozia played with a very crowded defense.
I have had many situations. I didn't score. It is no coincidence that Raul saved us again. I have had so many situations. Sure I wish the attacking players would score, but I can't blame the guys for not being there in front of goal.
After the first 25-30 minutes we felt we were over them. With Epassy we didn't want to risk it, in two or three days it should be ok. There were a few problems.
I have a very good opinion of him (no – George Pușcaș). It has a lot of quality. He has many matches for the national team, in strong competitions. He hasn't played in a while. He didn't train with a team. I spoke to him after the game with Hermannstadt. I feel like he's ready to come in, help us, relaunch his career in the right direction.
He was sincere. That's what I appreciate about him. He's had some injury problems, but I think we can work together. We'll look to see what his physical and medical condition is. I hope he will solve his problems in the best possible way.
I am happy for Claudiu Niculescu that he has the chance to coach in the Super League again. It is part of the Dinamo family. He has a very well organized team and I wish him the best of luck this season. I appreciated their game. He is a former great player in the history of Dinamo“, said Zeljko Kopic, at Prima Sport.
It's always the same principle. Match by match, practice practice. It was important to win this game. Of course we are waiting for the match with Rapid. We work. We are training well for the game and fighting for three points.
